Soo & the City Blog

Living in the 4th largest city in the nation, I believe Houston is one of the best cities in the US to live, work and play! I consider myself the average consumer, not so much a foodie, who likes to educate like-minded people on the overall experience of my continual discoveries of restaurants, shops, new real estate developments, social spots, and the neat little places to go for everyday living in the city of Houston. I love learning about new fun things in the city and I like to share those new, fun and helpful things with everyone I know. I've created this blog for people that like such things as well. Ok, hope you enjoy!

Judgmental Map of Houston

July 15, 2014 in Real Estate

I ran across this version of a map of Houston, big disclaimer, I do not support the messages, however, I do think it's funny. I think the stereotypes are hilarious, but I definitely do not think it's completely accurate. According to this map I'm a hipster douchebag. Love it! Enjoy!
