Houston is a great place to live with its beautiful locales and great amenities. It is the fourth-largest city in the U.S. (population 2 million), located 50 miles from the Gulf of Mexico. Houston has all the ingredients for a great lifestyle. Some of the aspects which make Houston, interesting and worth living are:
Sports and Recreation: Houston is home to two of the NBA champions Houston Rockets and Houston Comets. Houston has some of the best parks in the worlds. The Bay Area Park of Houston, located south on Interstate 45 that has baseball and soccer fields, tennis courts and a boat ramp on Taylor Lake.
Museum: Houston has 11 museums. This includes the Houston Museum of Fine Arts, the Contemporary Arts Museum, The Children’s Museum of Houston, The Museum of Natural Science (housing an IMAX theater, Planetarium and Cockerell Butterfly Center), The Houston Museum of Health Science and the Holocaust Museum. The museums are usually not very crowded, admission is generally very reasonable, and the exhibits change frequently and are well displayed.
Shopping and Restaurants: There are hundreds of fabulous restaurants featuring every possible imaginable type of cuisine in this city than any other in the country, after New York. Again, they are much more affordable and accessible than New York, and tend to be less formal.
The Greater Houston Partnership was formed to promote further business in this business friendly city. The partnership is a joint effort comprising of hundred’s of business luminaries from different walks of life. Some of the cherished members of the community are Chip Carlisle, Chairman, John Hofmeister, Vice-Chairman, Jeff Mosley, President. The honorable board members include Drew Alexander, Howard T.Ayers, Mike Ballases, Richard W.Weekley and many more.

Life in Houston
You forgot about best medical teams in the south and how diverse the cultures in Houston are.
But please don%26#39;t push the Greater Houston Partnership unless someone has asked.
Life in Houston
Shaggy, Thanks for your post. It%26#39;s good to read something positive! I moved here about 19 months ago and am still having a hard time getting used to Houston life, so it was good to read your post and be reminded that it%26#39;s a large city with lots to offer.
I went and bought some guide books (I posted a new thread on them) yesterday that I am going to use to try and get to know the city better. Anyways, if you have any specific ideas for things a relatively newer Houstonian should do, please post!! =)
