In all seriousness, the two cities do a ton of business together. Dallas is the state's financial capital and Houston is its largest port and energy export terminal. The air travel between these cities runs every 30 minutes from sun up to sun down, with a few overnights to boot, completely maxed out. And I-45 is a clogged bowel of a highway during every major holiday and sports event.
I always thought thing that really brought Houstonians together was rodeo and bbq.
I can't imagine why you'd be more invested in hating Dallas than eating brisket or going to the closest thing we've got to an amusement park since AstroWorld closed.
We all hate trains for some reason. But like bikes? Its a bit confused, I'll admit.
You definitely create a bunch of traffic around NRG.
There's definitely a Houston food culture, particularly with the intersection of East Asian and Creole. I had a bowl of crawfish etouffee Ramen Noodles at Tatsuya that I challenge you to find anywhere else. Houston is definitely a blended culture, but I wouldn't call it heterogenous. The old 80s-era red lines have run thin and the appeal of cheap real estate has done more than just toss the city's salad.
Maybe I get a different perspective living inside 610. Maybe COVID refreshed my outlook on my neighborhood. Maybe ten years in the same spot just gave me a chance to meld with my neighbors. But I definitely vibe with my neighbors more than I did out in Sugar Land or even on campus in Austin.
When I run into people at the park or in the tunnels that I recognize, despite being a a city of several million, it feels like a smaller town than it is.
