    1. Nail/Hair Salon
    2. Dry Cleaners
    3. Liquor Store
    4. Donuts
    5. Subway

    If you are looking at going into business for yourself, apparently these businesses are hot commodities in H-town.

    You must be poor to live near all that poor people stuff. I don't go to parts of town that have that **** in them. I ride around in my golden chariot peeing on the peasants.

    Poor people are stupid.

    I love strip centers. Very convenient. One of my favorite things about living in Kingwood.

    According to some, Houston is the only city that has them.

    I'm with you though, I love them. The newer ones out in the suburbs are really nice. Two extremely nice ones have just opened in Katy.

    I would bet that San Antonio has more per capita than Houston. That place is crawling with strip malls.

    Austin has its fair share of strip malls as well.

    True, but it's just not the same as Houston - I'd have to use my fingers and toes to count all the strip centers within a 3 mile radius of my parents house.

    I can count all the strip centers in a 3 mile radius from my apartment here in Austin on one hand.

    One of my favorite sandwich shops here in Port Arthur is inside of a liquor store. It's in a strip center with a tattoo parlor.

    Apparently you live nowhere close to Burnet or Lamar. Or South Congress. Or William Cannon. Or Riverside. Or South First. Or Manchaca. Or Parmer. Or Anderson.

    My favorite are the donut and taco joints. I never see anyone ever enter those establishments.

    Please. Austin looks like any other city. You Austin fluffers think your sheet doesn't stink
