Houston, TX Overview

This sprawling city hums with the energy and independent spirit that turned it from swampland into the fourth-largest city in the USA. Everything is big, from the towering skyscrapers to the huge sports Astrodome that links with two Six Flags theme parks to create one gargantuan entertainment complex, to the city's prominence in aerospace, oil, shipping and finance.

Everything is big, from the towering skyscrapers to the huge sports Astrodome that links with two Six Flags theme parks to create one gargantuan entertainment complex, to the city's prominence in aerospace, oil, shipping and finance. Even the architecture makes big, bold statements, such as the medical centre towers that resemble two giant syringes. A thriving business centre, the city has become increasingly cosmopolitan, with an influx of diverse ethnic groups and a strong emphasis on the arts. Opera, ballet, symphony and theatre are all top-notch, and museums abound. The midday heat is easily escaped inside the numerous attractions and shopping areas, particularly in the pedestrian-friendly 6.5-mile underground city. Since you're in the place that broadcast man's first step on the moon, you may want to pay a visit to Space Center Houston, where you'll be whisked into outer space through simulations and films. Once back on earth, you can hop on the tram to the complex's NASA/Johnson Space Center to watch astronauts and engineers at work and in training. « less

I'm always a bit leery of booking B&B rooms online because you never know what you are stepping into however I was more than pleasantly surprised when I walked through the front door of this charming...more

Thierry Andre Tellier Cafe & Pastry Shop

19 May 2008

First off, let me say that this is not the same Andre's as it was ten years ago. The current owners have made many changes (for the worse, in my opinion) even as to go so far as changing the name and...more
