Houston

Description: Texas, USA.

Newest Review: ... battled the traffic home. The freeways were unbelieveable, you can't really get anywhere in Houston without a car but that really could be said of most big cities in the United States. Houston is the fourth largest city in the United States, the largest city in Texas and has a population of approximately 5.6 million people. Oil was discovered here in 1901 so that explains the great number of ... more

... people that now call this city home. Houston struck me as quite a family orientated city. In the region where my cousin lives it was just rows and rows of suburban housing but very nice surburban housing. If you are looking at Houston as a tourist ...more
