From the Gridiron to the Silver Screen
Houston has a knack for producing athletes who can throw a football with the best of them, and actors who can make you cry with a single look. Take Patrick Swayze, for instance. The man who taught us the power of a good lift in "Dirty Dancing" was born and raised in the heart of Texas. And let's not forget about George Foreman, the boxing legend who later became a grill master. Talk about versatility!

Music City, Texas Style
Beyond Beyonc�, Houston has a rich musical heritage. You've got Jim Parsons from "The Big Bang Theory" who can rock out on the ukulele. And let's not overlook the legendary rock band, ZZ Top. Their long beards and bluesy tunes are as Texan as it gets. But it's not all rock and roll. Houston also birthed R&B sensations like Destiny's Child and Kelly Rowland. So, next time you're jamming out, remember, there's a good chance that song was born and raised in H-Town.
