Describe Houston

Finally, it has already been said but bears repeating: Memphis is where Graceland is. It is the final resting place of The King. It is the single most important place in the entire world. That alone makes Memphis not only one of the greatest American cities, but one of the greatest cities in the world. Anyone who disagrees hates not only rock and roll and barbeque, but everything that makes America

Houston is affected greatly, influenced by, and is shaped by the 5 crucial themes of geography. Not only that, Houston thrives by and grows by the major themes of geography. All the important themes of geography; Location, Places, Human/Environment Interactions, Movement, and Regions, effect and make Houston as a city of it is today. It is because of these themes that make Houston one of the most positive locations to live in.

Imagine a place where past and present meet, a place where there are many cultures and a myriad of things to do. El Paso, Texas is just that, a place where cultures don't clash, but, instead, mix. Although some might see El Paso as a ghost town filled with run-down building in the middle of nowhere, this city is replete with fun activities. El Paso presents a great escape, gives vast job opportunities to young people, and offers wonderfully affordable housing.

A poem written by South Carolina pastor, Jeremy Rutledge has given readers a lot to think about. The poem was composed after the great Hurricane Harvey tragedy in Houston. In his poem Rutledge mentions the word pray many times but the meaning of it goes way beyond that. When praying for something it is important to know the aspects and struggles of it, and that is exactly what Rutledge is doing in this poem, stating all the things that make Houston unique, diverse, and capable to rise from it all.

The first region of Texas is the Gulf Coastal Plains. The Gulf Coast stretches along the Gulf of Mexico for hundreds of miles. Cities such as Corpus Christi, Galveston, and Houston are in the Gulf Coast region. Near the gulf waters you can see marshes, barrier islands, estuaries, where salty sea water and fresh river water meet, and bays. As you travel west, you can see prairies and grasslands. The Gulf Coast is home to many

The Houston Area Survey shows how the city of Houston has progressed over the span of thirty-five years into an immensely diverse city that the rest of America will come to look like in the future. The city has grown from being predominately Anglo to having a nice population balance between Anglos, Latinos, African Americans, and Asians. In terms of Latinos in Houston, the study places emphasis on the differences between the first generation who are foreign-born, second generation who were born in the United States with immigrant parents, and third-generation Latinos who were born in America with American parents. The study explores the differences between the generations on their socioeconomic status including education levels and

“Dallas is an amazing city, so I hope that when people come here they don’t see this as the Wild Wild West in terms as the cowboy stereotype,” King said. Hopefully this festival will achieve just that, for people from all over the world have expressed interest in Dallas, and this festival gives incentive for tourists and Dallasites to explore the

Table 1. above shows the nature events that have happened in Houston, TX. For the most part Houston has encountered a lot of floods. These floods have been caused by heavy rain, thunderstorms and hurricanes around the area. They all have impacted the city of Houston and have been recorded along with many other events to have caused a lot of damage.

Being the most populated city in Texas, it comes as no surprise that Houston is without question the most diverse. The various ethnic ‘districts’ that exist not only within the city but in its expansive suburbs are fascinating. You could find yourself driving through the typical, American metropolitan shopping strip one minute, and find yourself in the xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx the next! And sure, it’ll never substitute the real thing; but that was as close as I formally believed I’d ever get.

How has migration, and subsequent contact between diverse people in urban America, led to innovation in American music?

So let me tell you about the music in Mississippi. If you like Blues, you’ll love Mississippi. I’m from Belzoni and that’s right there in the heart of the Mississippi Delta. Everywhere you go just about, if people are playing music, chances are, they are playing the Blues. The Mississippi Delta is where the blues all started. Some of the Blues singers are: Sam Cooke, Marvin Sease all of these musicians are from down in the heartland, from Mississippi. Not only the Blues though, we have Rock and Roll. The greatest Rock and Roll musician to ever live as

When people mention Washington heights, it goes hand-in hand with a Dominican community. A community predominantly filled with Dominican residents from either their respective country or second generation Dominican-American family. Washington Heights is culturally rich between the sound of music, amazing and a friendly environment. Many Latino artists focus mainly in Washington heights area to expand their recognition/fame in order to be musically accepted. This is a stepping stone for many artists and can open many doors for upcoming musicians. Moreover, the food located in this Dominican community is widely respected and many people come all parts to try the amazing Dominican flavored food.

     Jazz music is a blending of both black and white tradition and heritages. New Orleans was the center of many different ethnicities, such as French, Spanish, American, and African

I attended a blues concert in Hayward and it was one of the most culturing experiences of my life. I learned a lot about the culture and context surrounding the blues music. I found the lyrics thought provoking especially, B.B. King’s “Why I Sing the Blues” sung by Billy Dunn. Prior to me attending this concert I hardly knew anything about the blues music or historical roots. I never listened to the blues before, so I am unaware of this type of music, but I learned a lot about this style of music and enjoyed it. I also learned about the impact Hayward had on the blues and blues musicians when African Americans migrated from the deep south to the then unincorporated area of Hayward, known as Russell city. Ethnically, the majority of the attendees were African American, the second highest ethnic group attendees were Caucasian. This makes sense, since the blues and jazz were developed in the south of the U.S. and is associated with Africans. For African Americans, the blues and jazz goes a long way back in history, more specifically their history. It is associated with African American history in America, as well as African oppression and liberation.

In this group project, we discuss two cities – Houston and Dallas about their own background, which we called story and the comparison between them as well. Firstly, this paper will describe the Houston city’s history and background, by using the timeline, it is easy to consider the economy, politic, education and transportation for each of the city chronology. In this way, we can finally discuss the characteristic and opportunity for each of these two cities; thus, give them various suitable solutions for the future plan, which we called blue print, to help the city expansion.
