![]() I believe that I have many great qualities that come from my upbringing in Houston. That is bad enough to justify Austin’s place in the bottom half of my top 11. The University of Texas itself is in Austin. That means that the entire rest of the state is staring right back at you.Īustin is an admittedly cool place to visit once in a while, but the state of Texas rejects it on the grounds of not being culturally Texas. If you live in Austin, you pretty much turn your nose up at everyone else that does not. There are some good restaurants and cool places, but everything is so dang expensive. The point is, traffic in Austin is somehow worse than it is in Houston. The numbers are 7 million vs 2 million in the metroplexes or 2.3 million vs 900,000 if we’re not including metroplexes. Houston has Austin beat by five million people if we’re including metroplexes. I have also never experienced worse traffic than in this place. How are you supposed to go from 70 to 0 and then back up to 70 as soon as the light changes? I hate it. There are several places surrounding Austin where the speed limit is 70, but there are stop lights. Let me tell you folks, it’s not all it’s cracked up to be.įirst, the roads are the worst. We, however, are not talking about the suburbs, we’re talking about the city. ![]() If Round Rock was big enough to qualify for this list, maybe things would be different. I will admit that the areas surrounding Austin are absolutely gorgeous. This is my list and I’m not putting you any higher.Įveryone loves Austin so much for its uniqueness and “culture”. Since you’re reading this on the internet, I’m assuming you escaped. Texas Tech seemed like a decent place, but the town is so secluded from the rest of the world that it is just not worth going to. When we traversed the endless hours on the open plains of Diet Kansas, we arrived at the worst hotel room that I have ever stayed at. If you refer to the map above, you will see that Lubbock is at least five hours away from anywhere that you would want to be.įor my Dad and I, leaving from Houston, it was ten hours away. For some reason, the state finals were in Lubbock. This group is all about doing creative skits and things of that nature. My brother made the state finals for a group called Destination Imagination. It is the only time that I have ever been there. My personal experience with Lubbock came around 2010. Baytown is a humid swampland on the coast surrounded by rusty oil rigs and it smells like a garbage heap. The only place that even comes close to being as awful as Lubbock is a little place east of Houston called Baytown. Lubbock will always be my least favorite place in Texas. If I had more cities to talk about, Lubbock would rank lower.
