Rob Instigator stomping grounds (Houston TX)
Pros
-world class Orchestra, Opera, Theatre, Art Museums, Ballet, art galleries galore.
-Over 5,000 restaurants representing over 100 nationalities and ethnicities.
-cheap drugs
-Every kind of professional sport league (baseball, football, soccer, basketball, etc.)
-demographics rule. 30% hispanic, 30% anglo, 29% african-american, 10% from nearly all asian countries. (we have a chinatown, a little korea a little vietnam, even a little thailand area!)
-cost of living is very affordable. Lots of jobs.
-very friendly to counter culture weirdos. gays, trannies, druggies, freaks, goths, nutburgers of all types, hippies, etc. all can go about their bisness pretty much hassle free.
CONS
-music scene is very fragmented. no centralized location for clubs and bars, so everyone has to drive to shows. Bands leave after getting large here to try to make it in Austin, better exposure for them there.
-the city is so huge that car travel is the main option
-the summers are HOT and humid (but the winters are mild and temperate and nice)
-overlooked by many, who still think Houston is an overgrown cow-town.
-many of the up and coming bands skip houston and play dallas and austin only.
-huricanes
