Houston

Houston is a sprawling metropolis in Texas, extending to Galveston Bay. It's metro population is around 2.5 million and is expected to surpass Chicago's population in the near future. It’s closely linked with the Space Center Houston, the coastal visitor center at NASA’s astronaut training and flight control complex. The city’s relatively compact Downtown includes the Theater District, home to the renowned Houston Grand Opera, and the Historic District, which pairs 19th-century architecture with trendy restaurants.
