the buildings might be a zillion feet tall, but this still feels like a small village... so lifeless and sterile

[@fragilerovers]

Right. Downtown Houston looks very empty and deserted for most part of the year. This could be due to reasons such as: 1. Time of shooting: I shot this video around 12 noon and on a cold day. Houston downtown area gets busier towards sunset and the streets are filled even more in summer. 2. The tunnel: The downtown area has an underground tunnel system of more than 6 miles that connects the buildings together. Residents and employees get around via this tunnel. 3. City design: Houston is a big city spreading over 579 square miles, the cities business and population aren't concentrated in downtown area

@@fragilerovers I would have guessed you did this on a weekend. I know about the tunnels and everything - still a bit too quiet to be a normal workday.

Milwaukee better

[@fragilerovers]

I'm happy to hear that you have a strong preference for Milwaukee, but I hope you still enjoyed the video of Downtown Houston. Rainy days can be a great time to explore a new city and see it from a different perspective. Have you ever been to Houston before?
