Houston vs. Dallas

---

Both are terrible

I live in The Woodlands, because most of Houston is a shithole. The Woodlands is no utopian place as residents want you to believe. This joint is run by crooked cowboys in county government and Mexican Nationals. I don't speak spanish, will not speak spanish, so I will never conform to north Mexico, AKA Houston.

brah, then move somewhere else. seriously.

you sound worse than Eric Yolick and his goldenhammer.

while I am no fan of Noack or any of the other court members, the Township does a pretty good job of maintaining Mitchell's vision.....and I'm no fan of Gordy either.

Exxon is moving some 1000+ jobs to The Woodlands from what was reported

Also, not true. Please stop speaking for XOM. Currently there are no plans for new buildings coming to Woodlands/Spring.

Fred please continue bringing the pain to this HTown hater. Dude is dramatizing every single post. I’m Louisiana thru and thru and some things about Houston I don’t like, but nearly everything he’s stated is complete horseshite

Heb has purchase property in dfw so it's only a matter of time. With that said, I don't get the hype. I have shopped at HEBs plenty and it's no different than Kroger or Tom Thumb. It reminds me of when Dallas had Minyards and people here thought it was so much better

to compare HEB to Kroger tells me all I need to know about your HEB experience/knowledge. HEB products >>>> name brand products. Every single fricking one of them. Go to the HEB off 99 or the one on Lake Woodlands. Get back to me.

Kroger is a grocery store version of Walmart.
HEB is everything that is great about South Texas

I want to take this guy to HEB during Hatch Season and load him up on some HEB Hatch Season products. If he doesn’t have a renewed appreciation for HEB his Momma didn’t raise him right

We're looking today at a townhouse just off Midway near Beltline, an area in Addison called Towne Lake. Still prefer Addison Circle.

I lived in Addison for 7 years while single and loved it.

Go to Vernon's, that was my hangout for sports etc etc

Nate's for food / Crawfish

Nate’s doesn’t do crawfish properly

Where is there an HEB off of Lake Woodlands?

And HEB is nice, but we still shop at Kroger directly across the street from HEB. For everyday stuff, it's a little less expensive and less crowded. HEB isn't special enough to me to see a huge difference.

Plus the closest store with curbside pickup is a Kroger. Totally worth the $5 fee. Plus you end up spending less because you don't pick up the random crap you never use anyway.

I really do t see how this is even a question dallas/arlington/fort worth area is ten times better the Houston.....it's not even close

DFW overall is a better place to live than the Houston Metro area, and I live just south of Pearland HS.

However, I really enjoy Houston for it's diversity of population clusters. Within 20-40 minutes from my house you can be in Galveston, Clear Lake/Kemah, Sugarland, Kirby, Mid Town, Downtown, Med Center and everywhere in between. There's a lot of Louisiana flavor in the region as well. Yes, there's are parts of the metro area that suck....just like every American city. But there are too many nice area to count and so much to do. And the economy is O&G-centric, yes, but there are many other sectors of the economy with solid and growing bases in Houston. I would argue also more exceptional dining establishments to choose from than any other American city as well.

Finally, HEB is a Godsend and Houston is NOT South Texas. I've spent plenty of time in STX and it starts south of Victoria.
