I actually found Houston to be interesting, they have no zoning laws which allows for some random layouts and mixed uses in neighborhoods. Good art museums, which provide some rad green space in the residential areas they plunked them down in, and people use them!
Really good! Kinda structured like a heist movie. Though if I had made it it would've just been John Goodman and Alan Arkin cracking wise for two hours...
Oh! OH! And I just saw A Face In The Crowd for the first time and I rewound the "Rednecks, hillbillies, pea pickers" part like three times. Instantly one of my favorite movies ever.
