Austin's actually making progress in the restaurant department, although Houston's restaurant quality/selection is still much better. However, you neglected to mention (or are ignorant of) Houston's infinitely better arts scene (live theatre, opera, symphony, ballet), the museum district, major league sports, the Space Center, etc.
And, by the way, most of your Austin list isn't in Austin. All Austin really has going for it is the music scene and proximity to the Hill Country, which are admittedly attractions, but as a vacation attraction it ranks somewhere behind Mineapolis, MN.
Nonetheless, it's refreshing to see someone who is so fond of Austin based on the sights in San Antonio and the traffic in Ft. Worth. :rolleyes:
Of course none of this is germane to this thread either, but for some reason you still want to keep bashing Houston. I'm sorry for whatever unfortunate incident has made you so bitter toward a pretty decent town, but you really need to get over it.
