Seven
Margie from WatchingBSG tagged me to write 7 interesting facts about myself. I’m not much for talking about myself or for being interesting, so instead, here are 7 interesting facts about Houston and its people and places, off the top of my head:
1) Houston has more restaurants per capita than any other city in the world.
2) Houston is the largest unzoned city in America, making for some urban sprawl and some interesting neighborhoods.
3) Houston has more theatre seats in a concentrated district than any American city, other than New York.
4) Houston has been ranked as America’s Fattest City and one of America’s skinniest cities as well.
5) The University of Houston is the most ethnically diverse research institution in the country.
6) Houston has one of the largest thriving Chinatowns in the country - another testament to our diversity.
7) And finally… Houston’s Mayor White is a recent recipient of the JFK Profile in Courage award for his work to aid Katrina and Rita evacuees. This is the highest honor an American public servant can receive.
