A big city with lots of history and charm.
Posted March 24, 2008 by Realty.com Editor
Houston is the namesake of the first Republic President of Texas, General Sam Houston. Houston was the first word spoken from the moon on the historic lunar landing. And, Houston, Texas was the first to take imitative and build the world’s first air-conditioned sports stadium.
However, sports is where Houston holds the reigns, representing almost every major professional sport. The Houston Astros (MLB), The Houston Rockets (NBA), Houston Texans (NFL) and Houston Aeros (AHL) are but a few of the major teams that call this great city of industry, home. And by industry we mean oil and natural gas!
In Houston Texas anyone can score whether on the game field or in the business room; anyone can find a home here and make a name for themselves. The weather is also a great incentive as Houston is warm year round save for some rainy days in the winter and very few snow days. It’s a place where dreams are made everyday.
