of course they arent. there is nothing to hate on about the Houston bridge. it was built at a reasonable cost, is unique, and we never hyped it up like its the best thing since sliced bread. i can guarentee you if there were half as many press releases and publicity surrounding the Houston bridge when it first opened as their were the Dallas bridge, plenty of Dallasites would of raised an eyebrow or two.
That stretch of 59 between Montrose and 288 is the worst. It should have been widened like yesterday. Do you know if txdot or the city is going to widened it any time soon?

OMG, it's SOOOOO Pretty ! Driving South on the I-35 into Downtown ,
and then taking the Houston Exit (Woodall Rodgers freeway) and driving down the center
is awesome. People actually slow-down to take it all in.

I didn't feel that in Houston.
I'm in college. I don't have a car and occasionally find myself taking a bus to Dallas when I wanna go home.
Every time we are driving down 35 and we get to Dallas, people literally start taking pictures and hanging their mouths in awe at how pretty the Skyline is.
Especially since they've relit the BoA Tower, no other city in Texas has a comparable one.
The only people who say the Houston Skyline is the best skyline are... People from Houston.
Dallss's Skyline is not only breath-taking and fabulous in every way, it is recognized by nearly anybody who sees it thanks to that TV Show. lol.
