What country do americanos prefare???

[Torog]

NY is home to the mecca of cutting edge culture in the US. Probably a love it or hate it lifestyle though. Fast to one is hard to another.

Cali's is nice. Lot's of sunshine, beautiful year round, and forgiving marijuanna laws. Only reasons I couldn't live there are the ridiculous gun laws in The People's Republic of Kalifornia; which are getting worse. And I prefer hurricanes to earthquakes (you can build a flood proof wind proof building, but regardless the size, if it;s sitting on the ground, it can be an EQ's bitch).

But I am guessing if you did a poll across America, most people (outside of Texas that is) will tell you Cali would be their choice. Especially if money was no object (adjusted $/std of living). I don't think many would complain too much about living in southern california if they had the means to do so comfortably.

It's just for me, Texas has it all. So huge and diverse, in terms of people, culture, climate and in geography, everything is represented- mountains, plains, deserts to subtropical climates. Mild winters in the south, but it snows in the north (though we had a white christmas not too long ago even here in houston!) and hot summers most everywhere, but in some places, summer nights get down to the 60's!

Houston, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio; texas landscapes, nasa, waterfalls, the bat caves, the alamo, the riverwalk, the schlitterbaun in new braunsfels, lots of beaches.

MUSIC: Austin has more music venues per capita than any other city in the nation.

ART: Houston Theater District second only to NY for live performances; permanent companies in professional opera, ballet, and symphony; dozens of major natural science, historical, and art museums.

SPORTS: at least two pro teams in every major sport; and college and HS football is out of CONTROL. Top 5 town for mountain biking. so many rivers. so many golf courses.

SCHOOLS: world class universities in Tx A&M, UH, and UT; elite of the elite in Rice University (highest % of merit scholars in the nation)

WOMEN: maybe not as many tanned, botoxed, whitened and tightened movie stars, but if you like down home fat bottomed girls, we have lots of 'em.

Number 6 largest ship port in the WORLD. Number 2 ranked airport (US); #1 shipping airport in the WORLD (ranked by cargo shippers). Buses and big city public transport are not that great though. You generally need wheels in TX. Though that is kind of my favorites actually- the highways. I'm glad you posted this, because thinking about it, when I get off work in the morning, I want to roll one and roll OUT. Enjoy some beautiful Texas landscapes rolling down hwy 59!

Nevada never closes, New York City's got bright lights
But there's nothing quite like texas on a Saturday Night.

I'm glad you guys love where you live too!

Howdy 2600,

I really enjoyed yer reply...thanx !


My family has been in Texas since the late 1800's and I just don't feel like it's home,anywhere else. :thumbsup: My bones just don't feel right..and if it be God's Will...this is where my bones will rest.

Yer mention of Highway 59,sounded real familiar to me,so I looked it up at Google and followed this link to Wikipedia :

I've traveled 59 many a time and am connected to some of the towns along the way,and will always be a part of my treasured memories.

Have a good one ! :stoned:
