San Jacinto museum. Hard to get to but important to Texas history.
Museums in H town are really good.
Walk around Memorial Park to get some headspace when needed.
NASA. Expensive but worth it.
I’ll add some restaurants. It’s a great melting pot of food and cultures.
MD Anderson is S tier. Kick cancer’s ass.
The only hope I have is that the next generation will bring more love. There is a lot of disenfranchisement due to the changes over the last 40 years. The lasting effects of coal and steel work reduction, offshoring of jobs, minority rights improving, immigration changing demographics. All of these have been very strange and alarming for a lot of people my age and older. It’s all normal to my kids though.
You’re right tho. Empires rise and fall. The whole world is fucked if we’ve hit our peak.
I normally don’t like to admit this but you’re right. OP needs to move.
No… Just travel there weekly for a long time for work. Still have work and employees there. All of the below should be reasonably close. Hospital is not far from your rental. …well not far for a Texan.
English food and beer: Red Lion British Pub
Chinese food: Pepper Twins
Persian Food: Kasra
Vietnamese food: Old Saigon (have not been but good reviews), my old haunt is under new mgmt so I can’t recommend it :(
Cajun food: Bobobs or Cajun Town. I’m sure this will be very contentious but good Cajun food isn’t dressy. If you need classy then go Pappadeauxs.
Tex Mex food: Guadalajara Mexican Grille. Pricey but reliable. Otherwise Ninfa’s or TJ Birria Y Mas
South American food (Peru): Saldivia’s South American Grill (have not been but good reviews)
My other fav’s…can vouch through many meals and drinks: North Italia, True Food Kitchen, Oporto Tapas, McElroy’s Pub, Poison girl, Agora, Brasil, Common Bond Bistro, Anvil, Harry’s Greek, Barnaby’s.
I’ve run out of steam. HMU for any specific questions.
