I remember the first summer I drove this road…read more I got my first real sports car Bought it at the five and dime Drove it til my fingers bled Was the summer of 59 Me and some girls from school Top down and we drove real hard I still see them, even though they got married And they always let me get far And when I look back now This road seemed to go on forever And when you held the wheel I knew that it was now or never This was the best drive of my life Oh yeah It was the summer of 59 Highway 59 is also known as interstate 69 but not really because nobody actually calls it that. It's an absolutely fantastic Highway in Houston Texas - which is probably my favorite Road in the region. The stretch that will bring you all the way from Northeastern Texas down Houston is extremely long and has not very much along the way. However it's a nice drive and easy to do it in good time because the speed limit stays high and traffic is usually almost nonexistent. Once you get into Houston, traffic gets a little bit more congested, and that can be a problem if you let it be a problem but I don't let it be a problem so it's not a problem much like there is no problem with my run on sentences because they aren't a problem unless you make them a problem and I don't make them a problem so don't you make them a problem. It helps that I usually don't have to drive during rush hours. My favourite stretch is actually one of the worst stretches for traffic imaginable but what can you do - that's what happens when you live in a really cool area. But the Houston part is what makes this road great. I mean first of all goes through some of the coolest neighborhoods you could ever wish to find. So that's awesome. And secondly, those beautiful glowing bridges over 59 (one of the first things I saw when I drove into Houston for my first shows here), which are now right by my house. So adorbs. Best food in Houston: We'll start with the best of the best. The life-changing food items in Houston are (1) Mole w/Pechuga and Puerco De Asada from Tostada Regia on Long Point, (2) the X curry and Chicken Boti at Himalaya, (3) Lamb Cumin, Chongqing Chicken and Tofu w/ Fish from Hunan Bistro, (4) The Torta de Cochinita Pibil (and Gordita and Charro Beans) from La Bala on Bellaire, (5) the Crawfish Etoufee from Zydeco, and (6) the beef rib from Killen's, (7) the Green and Yellow curries, with Thai Iced Tea and Lime Thai Iced Tea, from Asia Market. 1 - https://www.yelp.com/biz/tostada-regia-houston-4 2 - https://www.yelp.com/biz/himalaya-restaurant-and-catering-houston 3 - https://www.yelp.com/biz/hunan-bistro-houston-2 4 - https://www.yelp.com/biz/tacos-la-bala-houston-3 5 - https://www.yelp.com/biz/zydeco-louisiana-diner-houston 7 - https://www.yelp.com/biz/asia-market-thai-restaurant-houston Try the Jalapeno or Smoked Sausage Kolache at Hot Bagel Shop. The Jalapeno Cheese Bolillo from El Bolillo. The Chicken Kebab from Los Perros (Richmond). Korean Fried Chicken and Tofu Soup at Lim's. Lankford has the best burgers. Xin Jiang for late night kebab sticks. Cocina Latina for Salvadoran. Nguyen Ngo or Les Givral's for Banh Mi. La Telera for Mex street food, Pollo Bravo for Peruvian chicken. Airport Deli for sandwiches, Taconazo for taco trucks. Ekko's or Gyros & Shish for Gyros. ChaBoba (8) has the best Bubble Tea in the country, that I've had (try Okinawa, the Pea Flower Tea, Lemon Honey, whatever you fancy). Sharetea is great (Okinawa Milk Tea, Whole Lemon Black Tea). Tapioca Place, Bambu too. Petite Sweets (9) cake balls need to be tasted to be believed. Frozen Cafe gelato is perfection, the fruity non-alcoholic kinds. Nu Ice has the very best ribbon ice.

After that it heads down to Victoria and Corpus Christi and again the road is really excellent for a lot of the way. Very impressive. Whoever built and planned this highway knew what they were doing. And whoever is coming to my bedroom tonight will find a guy that knows what he is doing, so.

We arrived right when they opened at 9 AM and there were already a handful of people waiting. Fortunately, a kind staff member sat us down, listened to our situation, and understood that we needed our visas approved for a flight later that same day. She asked us to email her our reference numbers so she could forward our case internally.. apparently they normally only see people with appointments, and usually after 10 AM. Thanks to her help, we received an expedited review, and got everything approved in a few hours. We felt very fortunate to receive good service and efficient processing during a stressful situation to say the least... Would definitely recommend arriving early and being prepared. We were lucky.

But it's actually the most famous and busy shopping mall in the USA's 4th largest city, which will probably be the 3rd largest within 10 years unless Texas secedes from the Union. I said secedes, not "succeeds", because in terms of Oil, it already did. And I said secedes, not "sexies", because in terms of sexies, Texas ranks at the very top of all States, anywhere. I'm not talking about the guys, though. Trucks and cowboy hats aren't my thing. Maybe if you're Jake Gyllenhaal. The Galleria area is one of my least favorite parts of Houston. Largely because of the traffic, in terms of the volume and consistency of bad traffic here but also in terms of how crazy the drivers are in this neighbourhood and how intense and rude it is. Sort of like New York City but without the driving talent. Lots of bad red lights and endless waits and like I said very rude people. Most of the food around here is very overrated, and while there are a few pretty good things they don't really get it done for me. Except for Peri-Peri Factory which is miraculous and the main reason to come to this area, and the food truck park near it (the middle eastern one near Hillcroft, not the hipster one on Chimney Rock). However there are a lot of beautiful women in this neighbourhood for sure. It almost seems like it's the sex industry capital of Houston actually, which is exciting. Lots of strip clubs, lots of hotties. This part of town is called Uptown. This is where you should come if you're looking for an uptown girl who's been living in a white-bred world, who needs someone to pop her can and so she's looking for a downtown man (that's what I am). And when she knows what she wants from her time, and when she wakes up and makes up her mind, she'll see I'm not so tough, just because I'm in love with a Galleria princess. Houston is one of my favourite cities in the world, largely because of the ethnic areas such as NW, Bellaire, Pasadena, and so on, but the posh, expensive areas are actually really great too (I'm not talkoing about the Woodlands). Like Houston Heights, Downtown, Montrose, River Oaks and Midtown, the Uptown-Galleria area is surprisingly wonderful. Yes, it has Malls and expensive corporate crap, but also some spectacular towerblocks and wonderful restaurants. It's an awesome area where, admittedly, stuff is a little too expensive and traffic is a little heavy and rough, and cops a little quick with the ticket if you're a few miles over the limit, but overall, it's one of the many cool parts of H-town. If you're in this area, you should try: Peri-Peri Factory (inferno style whole chicken and Peri Peri fries, the best) Istanbul Doner Truck (the best Kofte Kebab in town) Khan Baghdad Truck (the best Kofte and Chicken Kebabs and Burgers) Ekko's (for the best Gyros and Chicken Gyros in Texas) Midwest Coney Connection (for the best hot dogs in Texas) Also try: Argentina Cafe (the choripan and the mousse) Fountain View Fish Market (for a fish sandwich) Nu Ice (for Asian snow cream desserts with Mochi) Southwells (burgers and such) And that's all I have to say about that. As for the mall: I met someone very special the night before the first time I ever went to the Galleria. I'm not sure how things would have gone if that were the last time I met her, but apparently she must have liked me or something, because she came to watch my concert just 16 hours later, at the Houston Galleria, in one of the big flagship stores. It was a great concert, although not as wild as the one the night before. She then came to see me again the following evening... it must have been love! It was extremely difficult for me to load all my things into the Galleria because parking is a pain (and still is to this day), and distances are very long. Then unloading them would have been similarly sucky, except that this particular girl helped me with everything. Then she took me for dinner down the road at "Cha-Cho's" which was a lovely experience. Houston was always the most welcoming of the huge cities, back in those days, and has remained somewhere in those upper echelons ever since. I don't like Malls, but I have to give this one a very generous 4/5 because of all the memories. Yes, the stores are overpriced, yes, the parking is tricky, and yes, traffic is a nightmare around this area of Houston - partly because of this Mall. But despite all that, the personal memories reign supreme. And if you eat too much in the Food Court, then it becomes the Houston Caloria.
