I dunno, I lived and I owned a business in Houston back in the 1970's . I then drove a Taxi for a friend and kept it in Montrose as I had several  " Regulars " I would respond to there . I've lived in several Big cities , but none were as wide open and as lawless as Houston was which I lovingly refer to as  " The Cement Swamp ". Ellen
