Houston in Six Words

Houston. For the outsider it may be a city filled with stereotypes. For the insider it could be really good times on the bayou.

Here at KUHF News, we're looking for six words that describe Houston. Why six words? It's a way to pack the grit and gloss in one small phrase.

All kinds of six-word projects have been done: to describe race, work and one's own life. Now we're looking for six words on Houston. Let us know your six words on your city? We plan on using these six words, both online and on-air.
