Houston could've gotten something more clever than "The Capital Of Air Conditioning".

 

Something space related, like 'Houston - Aim For The Stars'?

 

Or how about 'Houston - Do We Have A Problem?'

 

Yeah, but it'd be hard to come up with something more true!

Every city seems to have different props as well. It woud be fun if we could gather all the city images in this thread during the tour :)

 

Great idea!

 

The list so far:

 

Tulsa: A Great Place For Drag, symbol: Golden Driller

Lincoln: Home of the Real Red Sea

Twin Cities: Two Is Better Than One

St. Louis: Go Cards Go

Austin: Keeping It Weird

Dallas: Our Cheerleaders Are Better!, symbol: Big Tex

Houston: The Capital of Air Conditioning, symbol: rocket launch?

New Orleans: Jambalaya Anyone?, symbol: frosty root beer

If any locals or those in the know want to elaborate on what some of things mean...

 

Lincoln: a car on top of a car. salvage yard?????? :LOL:

St Paul: giant snowman

St. Louis: school bus about to drive off a building

Austin: water tower

Eeek, I have stuff to do but I like puzzles and worked at a library answering questions for many years :)

Lincoln- I got nuthin'

St. Paul- North St. Paul is the home of the world's largest concrete snowman- 44 feet tall!! http://highwayhighli...rth-st-paul-mn/

St. Louis- There are a number of huge sculptures in, on and around the City Museum, including a school bus on the roof. http://www.interesti..._Dotree_39.html

Austin- I didn't see the video, was it a water tower or a tall light tower? A friend who lives there says Austin is known for both. The light towers are antique lighting towers from the 1890's that are still there and are called moonlight towers. Then there are just jokes that Austin has a LOT of ugly water towers because Texas is dry and Austin is flat and so the towers are needed for providing city water with any pressure.

 

Locals, please let me know if I called any of these wrong :P

I'm interested in hearing what they put up for Tampa tonight! My sister lives there (not a Rush fan, some things are not understandable, haha)

Looks like a water tower for sure; must be the jokes my friend said that there are way more than there used to be and they are ugly! I'm still trying to figure out why poor Alex comes into town on crutches!!??!!

Buffalo might have something aboot the Bills, they love their NFL team. What aboot the falls?

 

They may have something for the Bills in the video but I'm not sure they saying will be about them. The falls is pointless because it's not in Buffalo. It's in another city/country 30 minutes north of us. Only part of Niagara falls is in the US. The majority of it and the better part of it, is on the Canadian side.

Good points, I don't remeber the falls being that far away, then again it was August 31st 1997.

Well, it's 20-30 mins depending on how far away you are, traffic, where exactly in the falls you're heading, if you're crossing the border or not.

I'm thinking the soft serve ice cream cone is because of this: http://moon.com/2014...s-in-tampa-bay/

 

My sister that lives there is supposed to let me know for certain tomorrow! Not sure what Love It or Leave It is , though.
