Houston
So much is being covered about Houston in the wake of Hurricane Rita (if I hear "in the wake of Hurricane Rita" one more time, I'll... ).

We were in Houston one time, when my partner was assigned to open a branch there. We relocated in 02 22 2002 (how can I forget?). But my partner's company had to bring him back to Orlando because a major account came on. So we moved back. Our stay in Houston was a solid six months. I had just put up the last picture frame when we were told we had to return to Orlando.

Long story short, we were more than happy to leave good ol' Houston, Texas. We didn't like it there. But there were five things we liked (yep, just five):
- Whataburger - We're not really into burgers, but since we discovered these, we're not eating any other fastfood burger ever.
- Pappasito's - Finally! A decent mexican restaurant.
- Blue Bell Ice Cream - About a year after we moved back to Florida, our groceries and convenience stores started stocking their frozen aisles with Blue Bell Ice Cream. Our favorite flavor is the Banana Split.
- Stevie Ray Vaughan - Too bad he's gone.
- ZZ Top - Timeless.

Hmm.... food and music. That says a lot.
