I'm sure this has been on the BBS before, but all this talk about Austin/Houston Rocketball, etc. I was just wonderin' where most members live.(Of course not your address.... I'm not coming to visit or anything)It sounds like most are Austin or H-town.
How bout you?

Me? Born in Houston been in Austin 3 years.

Houston, and I hope I never have to leave for a higher paying job or whatever. I love the Houston teams too much, and especially when you consider our three new, attractive venues!

DeanBCurtis-
I always wondered why you liked Houston so much?? Did you used to live here or something?? It is a great city, though dont get me wrong.

Anyway,

I've lived in Sydney, New York, HOUSTON, and now Seattle. Funny, I only became a Rockets fan after I left Houston.

I lived in Houston 'til I came to school here at A&M in the Fall of '97. I'm not sure where I'm going to end up when I get out of school. Houston, Dallas, or Denver.

I was born and raised in Houston and, apart from a few years in Bronco-land, have lived here all my life.

Frank, I lived in Denver from 96 until about a year ago and loved it. It's a beautiful place, especially because of the proximity to the mountains, and reasonably affordable. The climate is dry and very mild (in fact, I missed thunderstorms while I was there). Major drawbacks would be a state income tax and the fact that there is little love of basketball there. Oh, and no Whataburgers! What are you looking for in a home city?

The reason I think I'd like living in Denver is because I love that type of climate, it's beautiful like you said, and I'd still be able to see Rockets and 'Stros games. Although I wouldn't be with my fellow fans, of course. Also, there would be a good career opportunity there for me. Affordable cost of living is a plus. I wouldn't mind moving back to Houston after school if Denver doesn't work out.

No Whataburgers! --> No #8 value meals! May have to reconsider.

Chris. If you don't mind me asking, why did you move back?
