IronTiger Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 I got the first issue of the redesigned Bloomberg Businessweek ("Bloomberg" was added earlier this year or late last year) and they had a one-page article about things to do in Houston. It seemed woefully incomplete (and about half of the action OUTSIDE the inner loop) but I thought you guys might enjoy it.http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/10_18/b4176120000767.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highway6 Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 (edited) This is a repeat thread... This article has already been mentioned in the Houston Sightings thread.I assume the author is the same Lisa Gray that writes for the chronicle... so ya shouldn't expect too much content-wise.(and about half of the action OUTSIDE the inner loop)600 SqMi is the approximate area within the Houston City Limits.100 SqMi is the approximate area INSIDE the loopSounds like the Inner Loop got way more than their share of the action mentioned... the Inner Loop apparently is a greedy bastard.

That area is probably one-sixth of the inner loop. Edited April 28, 2010 by RedScare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronTiger Posted April 28, 2010 Author Share Posted April 28, 2010 The physical copy of the magazine had a map of all the locations.I don't have the physical copy of the magazine with me, but I'm almost sure that most of the things were between 610 and Beltway 8...unless I'm horribly mistaken, in which case I find the magazine and either apologize regarding miscommunication or an outright error.

AK123 Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Can't anyone start an article about Houston without mentioning all the perceived negatives first? It's getting really tired. I don't see articles on NYC constantly having to start off "there's more than just insane expense and crowds!" or for New Orleans "once you get past the ghettos and extreme humidity..." or for Austin "intense heat and drunken college kids aside..."Sprawl capital of the universe? For real? Petrochems? How many of us ever actually go over to the Ship Channel to see this? This is the kind of PR foolishness that fuels the fire of bad perceptions and stupid stereotypes... Gag.
