All true, except the ‘mass’ part.
Y’all don’t come back now, ya hear?

As one who lived and worked in Houston from 1998 to 2012 my view is of a fantastic city with multiple opportunities for work and fun. One just needs the energy and initiative to explore.
When I moved there I was told no matter what your profession, the oil companies paid more, so I went work for one after a stint with the Houston Chronicle newspaper. I was able to stash enough cash while working at the oil company to retire early from the rat race.
When I left the big city in 2012, to retire in south Texas, I breathed a sigh of relief.
I’ve been back once to visit a friend when I made a detour on a road trip. Boy I was glad I could leave and no longer lived there.
The traffic like the busy energy of ants on a trail and reminders of a rat in a cage on a wheel to make a living, no thanks. However I am appreciative Houston was part of my life’s journey.
I worked for a detective agency in Las Vegas.
They were moving to Houston.
The owner of the agency, owned an island on a lake near Houston.
They wanted me to move w/them and set up shop there.
I often wonder…
What if…
Ummm…I lived in Las Vegas from 1989 to 1994. A detective agency job there sounds very interesting.
George and Barbara Bush lived in Houston. Perhaps the agency did side jobs for the CIA? Lots of interesting stuff and people in Houston.

I’ve been visiting Houston since the mid 80s. My sister moved down there in 1982. Just a few times my visits were in the summer. Last summer visit was 2002 for nephew’s graduation and I left 4 days earlier than planned. To hot for me which explains why I only visit in the winter months since

Not sure to what ‘island’ you’re referring but bet it got covered up in Hurricane Harvey; maybe even Ike.

I never asked her, or anyone else about said island.
She had an open expensive fortune teller appointment, and said I could have it gratis.
I declined.
A lot of stars in Vegas subscribed to her side-line psychics.
A lot of unanswered questions.
