Merely Space Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 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!

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 :PI'm interested in hearing what they put up for Tampa tonight!

J2112YYZ Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 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.

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.
