I've never been to Houston, although I once flew into its airport for a connecting flight.
What struck me as I was flying in was how it's downtown area had such specific boundaries. That is, all of a sudden at a certain boundary all the skyscrapers appeared. Flat, low-rising buildings and then, all the skyscrapers all together. It looked like the Emerald City from the Wizard of Oz.
