First off, understand, Houston is not New Orleans. We are not a city built in a bowl, 30 feet below sea level. We are a whopping 43 feet above sea level. Houston sits 45 miles from the coast, but has a huge ship channel cut to reach Galveston Bay. I live 30 miles further north of Houston in a heavily wooded area known as “The Woodlands.” Texans are not much for over dramatic names. We are pretty simple. If there were mountains around here and we built a community there, it would be named “The Rocks” or “The Summits.” There is a golf course in San Antonio built in an old rock quarry. Guess what it is named. I digress.
