I moved to Houston from the Northeast in 2007 for a great job. I'm now moving back after about three years.

Weather-wise, I'll miss March and April, my favorite months when things are just mild and perfect for taking a bike ride. I won't miss the oppressive heat and humidity. I won't miss the insane traffic. I will miss the great restaurants and shopping (I've lived near the Galleria).

Overall, it just never felt like home. Personal safety may be why. For a long time, I was a single woman living alone, and have not felt very safe, even in broad daylight. I grew up in a small, lake town community so the big city feel may contribute to this fear. I'm also not happy when I see more homeless beggars and blatantly illegal immigrants than I ever care to see.

But, I've enjoyed the huge career advancement working in Houston has given me. I will always feel in debt to Houston for getting my foot in the door of my dream job. Most people are also very friendly, at least those I've had the opportunity to work with.

I also love Memorial Park and will miss the bike riding trails. Other than that, I don't plan on coming back to visit. I certainly don't regret my time in Houston, but it will remain in my past.

The worst allergies I've ever had were in coastal California. But different allergens affect different people in various places. In this part of the country, the Austin area is known by doctors as the worst place for allergies.

That's odd.
