HOUSTON -- Two top national newspapers Thursday gave mixed reviews to the city of Houston.
An article in The Wall Street Journal called Houston a patchwork of strip malls, car lots and topless clubs.The article even quoted a few Houstonians bashing the Bayou City.However, those who really enjoy living in Houston said the city is more than billboards and traffic jams.The New York Post published a different take on Houston. The article read:
"An ambitious and painful revitalization of the downtown area, a new light rail ... increasingly self-confident neighborhoods with strong identities and one of the country's most diverse populations have, in the last year or two, turned this city-in-a-swamp into one of the most energectic places in the nation."Transplanted Houstonian David Margolin told News2Houston that when he first moved here, it took some time getting use to the city."It's different, but I've grown to really love the city," Margolin said.
