Houston

Houston (i/ˈhjuːstən/ HYOO-stən) is the most populous city in Texas and the fourth most populous city in the United States. With a census-estimated 2014 population of 2.239 million people, within a land area of 599.6 square miles (1,553 km2), it also is the largest city in the Southern United States, as well as the seat of Harris County. It is the principal city of Houston–The Woodlands–Sugar Land, which is the fifth most populated metropolitan area in the United States.

Houston was founded in 1836 on land 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, has induced continual surges in the city's population. In the mid-twentieth 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.

Houston station (Texas)

Houston is an Amtrak intercity train station in Houston

History

The present Houston station, which opened on October 26, 1959, was built by the Southern Pacific Railroad to replace Grand Central Station, which was just east of the present station. That station operated from September 1, 1934 until the property was sold to the U.S. Government in 1959 to become the site of the Houston main post office. Grand Central Station had replaced the original Houston & Texas Central depot of 1886. When Amtrak was created it was one of two stations in Houston that served Amtrak trains, the other being Union Station, now part of Minute Maid Park. All Amtrak trains moved to Southern Pacific Station by the end of July 1974, and all trains were canceled or rerouted out of Houston except the Sunset Limited. This station continued to be owned and operated by the Southern Pacific Railroad after the creation of Amtrak, and has been owned and operated by the Union Pacific Railroad since the merger of Southern Pacific and Union Pacific.

    Appreciatin'

    by: Outlandish

    As I got up this morning
    You watched me and hoped I?d talk to you
    Even if it was just a few words
    Askin? your opinion
    Thankin? you for something good that happened, Lord
    But you noticed I was too busy
    Tryin? to find the right clothes matchin? with the right shoes
    And I ran around the house getting ready
    You knew there would be minutes to stop
    And say hello, but I still, I were too busy
    And at one point, I had to wait doing nuttin?
    Then you saw me spring to my feet
    Thought I wanted to talk
    But I ran to the phone
    Called a friend, wassup
    Okay, now it?s time for us to talk
    So I find an empty room but hesitation is in my heart
    A look down the hall, nobody there, so I close the door
    Take of my new jacket, man, I can?t put this on the floor
    I?m a have this conversation standin? or my jeans will get dirty
    Better yet, I?m a sit on this chair right here ?cause I feel a bit lazy
    Almost forgot to pull the curtains so no one can look in
    And just when I?m about to utter you some words
    Someone steps in
    Embarrassed by the moment
    I jump up and come up with some stupid excuse
    Like I was looking for something
    All while you were watchin? me patiently
    Ready to give more chances with the hope
    That eventually at some point
    I will speak to you
    You give me so much
    You wait all day for a nod
    A prayer or a thought
    A thankful part of my heart
    To all my moros back home
    All day workin? hard
    Struggling all week
    Every dawn standing tall
    I know you noticed that before lunch I looked around
    I felt embarrassed to talk to you
    That is why I didn?t bow my head
    Glanced 3 or 4 tables over, saw some of my friends talking to you
    But I did not, there is still more time left
    Hope that I will talk to you yet, but I went home
    And seemed as if I had lots of things to do
    After that what is on TV
    Suddenly I felt too tired to talk to you
    Fell asleep in no time without a thought for you
    I know it?s hard to have a one sided conversation
    Well, give me some days to try again, and again, and again
    Pasé por enfrente de tu casa esta mañana muy temprano
    No me dio ni por llamarte, saludarte lo cual es muy extraño
    Ahora que la luz está apagada estoy pensando
    Si sólo cuando yo lo necesito conversamos
    O si sólo cuando temo me haces falta
    A cada instante tu retrato está en mi espalda
    Me equivoco en muchas de cosas
    Y defectos tengo más de cien estoy luchando, tú lo sabes bien
    Faults, I have more than 100
    I'm struggling, you know I am
    Appreciatin' is something I be forgettin', every second
    24/7, I'm a forgetful servant, I gotta be prayin' though
    Appreciatin' when suffering, calamities call
    My soul be hospitalized and all gonna be alright
    To all my moros back home
    All day workin' hard
    Struggling all week
    Every dawn standing tall
    To all my moros sheddin' tears
    Still greet with warm smiles
    Patiently throughout the years
    Give praise to the most high
    To all my moros back home
    All day workin' hard
    Struggling all week
    Every dawn standing tall
    To all my moros sheddin' tears
    Still greet with warm smiles
    Patiently throughout the years
    Give praise to the most high
    To all my moros back home
    All day workin' hard
    Struggling all week
