Houston is the most populous city in the U.S. state of Texas and the fourth-most populous city in the United States, with a census-estimated 2016 population of 2.303 million within a land area of 599.59 square miles (1,552.9 km2).

Houston was founded on August 30, 1836, near the banks of Buffalo Bayou (now known as Allen's Landing) and incorporated as a city on June 5, 1837. The city was named after former General Sam Houston, who was president of the Republic of Texas and had commanded and won at the Battle of San Jacinto 25 miles (40 km) east of where the city was established. The burgeoning port and railroad industry, combined with oil discovery in 1901 and Houston's replacement of Galveston as Texas's primary port following a devastating hurricane, has induced continual surges in the city's population. In the mid-20th century, Houston became the home of the Texas Medical Center—the world's largest concentration of healthcare and research institutions—and NASA's Johnson Space Center, where the Mission Control Center is located.

American Garden Tour - The Gardens at Bayou Bend
I took a trip back to Houston, Texas, where back in another lifetime I was a 'Demi Celebrity' as a DJ on Rock Radio. I never took the time to do The Azalea Trail, so this March I decided to grab my camera, pull on my boots and scoot my way back to H-Town to see the spectacle. Curator of Gardens Bart Brechter gave me a great tour of the grounds and told me the fascinating story of Miss Ima Hogg; Philanthropist and former owner of this estate and gardens on the banks of the Bayou. Join me this tour and you'll see Champion Trees, hundreds of exotic Azaleas and a wild East Texas Woodland boarder, set against formal European Parterre style gardens.
Special thanks to Bart Brechter, Kathryn Jernigan, Museum of Fine Arts Houston, Bayou Bend Collection and Gardens, and The River Oaks Garden Club.

During our trip to Houston in May, we had to take a trip across Houston, from our hotel near the Galleria, to Baytown. We set Waze to Avoid Freeways, and set off across town, taking us through varying neighborhoods and a huge railyard. This video shows that trip up to the Houston City Limits mostly in real-time, with stops trimmed out, and some of the less scenic areas sped up a little bit.
This is a long video, so if you'd like to see a sped up version, and save some time, please see this link:
