Reply to comment by modeltoast in i just moved to Minneapolis and everyone keeps telling me a really funny story from the Superbowl win in 2018. by irishgambin0

No. Houston is a shithole and that comes from a lifelong Philadelphian. There wasn’t a single part of that city didn’t smell like an adult diaper. The fact that we had to Uber 35 times in 4 days just adds insult to injury.

Not really. Houston is just a very large suburban style city that is too car centric from what I hear. I’m from Philly and love Chicago, NYC, Nashville, etc.

Pretty much all of Texas is car-centric. Public transportation is not very good, and everything is far apart. The heat becomes a factor as well.

According to Google Maps, there is no way to take public transit from downtown Dallas to the football stadium. 100,000 people have to drive to every game.

Tell me about it. I went to a concert at the Cotton Bowl last year. We were able to catch a bus (or tram?) to the show but we were totally f-ed after the show. I expected that, but I didn’t expect the torrential rain that fell during and after the concert. ☹️
