Where would you live in Texas?

I've been all over Texas. I found Houston hot and extremely humid, and starting to boom. El Paso is nice, Hot and dry. I like it down by the border, Laredo or McAllen. Austin is were the young crowd is.

Houston peeps ... The Humblefish express arrives in Houston on Monday! :D

Anyone got a suggestion for a good extended stay hotel near 249 (between 99 and the Sam Houston Tollway)?

Looks like Extended Stay America is out (according to Tripadvisor) unless I want to start studying fleas, cockroaches, etc. :eek:

Best I've been able to find on my own is here: https://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_R...tes_Houston_NW_Willowbrook-Houston_Texas.html

Hmmm..townplace suites on Louetta looks nice, and they have a full kitchen! There are pockets of new construction up that way. Some road work, but nothing too drastic. Biggest growth is with new construction. Its near the Tomball area "medical hub" as well. Quick access to 249 and beltway is always a bonus :-)

Im available all day Monday if you need any help and Im right down the road from 249/8 area :-) I will pm you my number! Please dont hesitate to call when you get into town!

Look in Tomball. A few new places there that might fit the bill. Willowbrook is OK, but would not be my first choice. A little less secure.

 

[chrfrancis]

Willowbrook is where I live, a lot closer to 249 and beltway 8. Tomball is about a 15 min drive from willowbrook.

Are you the reason Willowbrook is a little less secure? o_O :p

Most likely haha, I actually work off of louetta and 249 and Hewlett-Packard Enterprise.

You can stay with me Dr. Fish, bit of a drive from northern Alberta though.

About 33 hour drive only.

Ah! I believe Hewlett-Packard is what brought Mrs Humblefish to TX if Im remembering correctly from a previous post...

Yes, exactly! Thank you everyone for the warm welcomes.

Welcome to Houston. I'm in the aatascocita area so not far from where you'll be landing.... at least in Houston terms. Tomball is great. Lots of rent places and you'll be close to HP.

We're here... ;)

It only get worse my friend.
Sorry I couldn't welcome you with flags and all as I did ran away from the mad max parking lots in the freeways.

NO Sheepskin. So Rule one, do not drive on the freeways during rushhour. Rule two, it is always rushhour.

Yes! It is crazy out here...patience is key as well as learning sweet spots with traffic timing. 5 minutes can make or break your entire drive!
