17 Reasons Why Houston Is The Best City In America

Jun 20 2013 Published by under Ramblings

Its funny – I can feel the population in Houston swell these past couple of years… its definitely getting busier around here…

Houston’s an economic juggernaut.

It’s by far the country’s number one job creator, the home of America’s booming energy industry, is more diverse than New York City and lets you stretch a paycheck farther than anywhere else in the country.

Add to that a thriving restaurant and cultural scene, and you’ve got a winning case for Houston as the best American city.
