Houston is No. 1 city to live work and play, says Kiplinger

I'd have taken a day at AstroWorld (RIP) instead.

 

I'll give you that.

But I didn't even care much for the ballpark. Pittsburgh and even Milwaukee are better.

 

The music in that joint is so loud it shakes the cars on the freeways.

Ballgirls dancing on the dugouts, pre-packaged food, pumpkins on the choo-choo -- the ballpark is a total fiasco.

 

Dallas thinks of itself as the center of western civilization.

They're still working on the roads in Houston that were under construction 20 years ago.

That, plus the fact you're going to have 100 days a year of 100+ temps, make Texas a great place to leave.

 

I've never wanted to live in any city on that list.
Sacto sucks.
