Re: If I come to see you, what do I not want to mi
Let's see...if you were to visit me in Houston...we would have so much to do and see:
For starters, we could hop on the Metro and visit the Museum District, which has eighteen museums for us to check out.
If you're looking to spend some time outdoors, we could visit the Armand Bayou Nature Center, where we could take a guided tour or a canoe or pontoon boat ride to check out over 370 species of birds, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians. ABNC is the largest urban wildlife refuge in the United States.
After viewing all of the gators while on the bayou, we could head down to the Downtown Aquarium and sample some fried gators for dinner. . The Downtown Aquarium is a 500,000-gallon under-water adventure complex which includes a Ferris wheel, an aquatic carousel, Shark Voyage, a white tiger exhibit and a restaurant. They have great seafood and the views of the aquarium are fantastic!
One night, we could head down to The Theater District downtown, where we could catch a show at one of the eleven theaters/venues.
If you want to spend the day shopping, we could go to Galleria and shop at over 375 stores, eat at one of the 30 restaurants and then take a few laps around the ice rink.
If it's bargains you want, we could ditch the high end department stores and specialty stores at the Galleria and head over to the Harwin Drive Shopping District . It's bargain shopping at it's best!
On the way back home, we could stop at the Glenwood Cemetary and check out Howard Hughes' grave site . People always want to see where old Howard was buried.
We could go down to NASA's Johnson Space Center and check out all the cool exhibits they have for the public.
That's just for your first trip down...there is so much more to see here in Houston!

But..... they are doing ONE thing right: Relying on nuclear power for over 80% of their energy needs.

Not much to do in my little corner of the world. (Finley, Tennessee) We could sit on my front porch, drink sweet tea and watch the world go by at a slow pace. I could drive you around the county and see all the farm crops. Just a few miles west down the highway I could take you to the banks of the Mighty Mississippi. We could drive across the bridge into Missouri. About 30 miles north of where I'm at I could take you to historic Reelfoot Lake. There's a very small museum there with exhibits and a short film about the legend of the lake. We could walk the boardwalk around the edge of the lake, possibly take a pontoon ride out or fish off the bank. I could take you to one of the lake area restaraunts for a great catfish dinner. And of course, as part of good southern hospitality I could treat you to a homecooked southern meal in my home.....and would enjoy doing just that!

Well done CB1, ya did Houston proud. I would also recommend the Florida Panhandle (at the right time of year to get unbelievable prices).
However it does look like someone pressure-washed downtown for that first pic. Maybe they Photoshopped in some clean air.
