houstonsemipro Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 Aeros... Aeros not even a big league hockey team. Houston always get talked about, not bad, but badly. The air pollution, the traffic, bad this, and bad that. Houston never do nothing big. I say it's a death cruse. Poor Houston, but I'm a houstonain, and somewhat I love Houston. Everytime Houston do things they fail at it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricco67 Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 Oh Stop whining. Rockets have won twice. Aeros have won their championship several times, and the WNBA won 5 times ( I think). Suck it up and go on. Ricco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.A.S.O.N. Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 I feel good, better than I thought I was going to feel. The Astros gave us a great year. Houston has been blessed.

H-Town Man Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 Houston has done some amazing things over the past year. A month ago, an ESPN writer even called this the "Year of Houston" (of course, we could have cemented the title by going to the World Series). A writer from Dallas to the Houston Chronicle conceded that we were the top sports town in Texas. And although it's a heartbreak to get beat like this, think about how much this has done for the city, and how many light years more exciting this has been than the average Houston baseball season. We didn't make it, but we brought baseball in this town to a level that it's never been. And we can look forward to someday taking it even further.

Heights2Bastrop Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 I like to think of it as Houston is one of the world's best-kept secrets.

Dallasite Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 ^ Well said Heights2Bastrop. Growing up in the Dallas area, I fell victim to Houston bashing. After graduating college I reluctantly took a job in Houston. I found that the majority of the insults that Houston was subjected to were unfounded. Houston is a great city no doubt that has much to be proud of. There are plenty of cultural facilities to enjoy, sports teams to root for, jobs to work, and bars/restaurants to indulge in.

2112 Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Yes. Houston is cruised. Back in the 80's, Westheimer was a favorite cruising strip with many people lining the streets, watching cars cruise on by. Memorial Park, during that same era, also was a favorite cruising location for the Hispanic community, where many nice girls would dress in skimpy decor on Sunday evenings, waiting for the cars' occupants cruising by to take notice. I know I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heights2Bastrop Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 When I was at Reagan, Long Point was the hot area for crusing from Wirt Rd westward. It's hard to look at that area now and believe that was the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montrose1100 Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 AH-HAH! So Houston is better! Just Kidding. I was told the same thing about Houston being a dump, in all places, LOUISIANA!!! Imagine how I felt when I got here and realized I'd been lied to my whole life. I spent every moment off during my first 6 months living here driving around exploring this great city. Is funny, yet sad how I would ask life long residents about various parks, museums, buildings, neighborhoods, and shoping centers, yet they would have no clue what I was talking about. Their whole life in a great city, taken for granted...I Love This Place,Glen<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Thats odd, because most people have relatives here, and most college students get jobs here in Houston... (in Louisiana)Infact you probibly know alot of people who have roots in LA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ V Lawrence Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 This has been talked about for a while, but it's offically official. Here's what we know for sure:1.If an NHL franchise comes to Houston in the near future, Les Alexander will be the owner of that team2. Gary Bettman, the NHL Commissioner, is currently opposed to an expansion in the league. Which means that for Alexander to be successful, we may have to break another city's heart to get that team.3. Among the teams with the best chances of being moved to Houston include the Washington Capitals, Pittsburg Penguins, Carolina Hurricanes, Buffalo Sabres, and irronically, the NASHVILLE Predators (remember the Titans/Oilers?)4. George Postolos (Rockets President) more than likely would be President of the new franchise, or at least have a part on the administrationFor the Whole story, here it is...http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/front/3438046 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houstonian in Iraq Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Im' not a hockey fan.But with a Houston team I might be a Houston Hockey fan.If Houston gets a team I'm sure there would be huge turn out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
