Why all the Houston bashing? I can't think of a better place for the convention. Attended yesterday & it was great!
If it is fellow Texas doing the bashing you shouldn't be surprised as there is a lot of instate rivalry between the major cities, especially Dallas and Houston! It's generally pretty good natured.
Let's face it though, Houston is not a good tourist destination. Not a lot of interesting history here, the weather can get quite severe, no amusement parks, the local beaches are crappy and we're not close to other good tourist destinations (San Anronio being the lone exception but it's still over 200 miles away).
It is however a great place to live and to raise a family. The cost of living is low, jobs are plentiful, great restaurants, friendly people. I've lived in Southern California, Oklahoma, Kansas, Connecticut, Dallas, Singapore and Germany. Houston beats them all, hands-down.
