| Which Region Is Houston In |
The Lone Star State, Baby!
First off, let's get one thing straight: Houston is in Texas. Yes, that Texas. The land of big hair, bigger hats, and even bigger BBQ. If you've ever watched a cowboy movie, you've got a rough idea of the vibe.
Gulf Coast Goodness
But Houston isn't just any part of Texas; it's got a prime coastal location. You can thank the Gulf of Mexico for Houston's humid summers and those occasional hurricane scares (which, let’s be honest, add a touch of excitement to life).
QuickTip: Look for contrasts — they reveal insights.
The Heart of Something
Houston is often referred to as the "Heart of Texas." Now, we're not sure if this is because of its central location (it's not), or because of its big, beating economic engine (more likely). Either way, it's a title Houston wears with pride.
More Than Just a City
People often confuse Houston with the entire state of Texas. Let's clear this up: Houston is a city. A really big city, but a city nonetheless. It's like New York, but with better barbecue and less attitude (okay, maybe that's a stretch).
Tip: Read at your natural pace.
