Injust visited The Woodlands for the first time this past weekend as a getaway. I fell in love with this place. What an amazing place!

I love The Woodlands! I wish I could visit it again soon and enjoy everything it has to offer. A very special person for me lives in there. Thanks for sharing this beautiful video.

BEAUTIFUL

Beautiful district/suburb

Of course, life happens while you're making plans. But, I am looking to move to the Woodlands soon. Checking out houses now. Over 40 years in Houston and I have had enough.

its Gods country

Why does this sound like an advertisement for Eagleton, IN.

All the trees, all the dear, all the mosquitos, all the ticks, all the Lyme disease. The Woodlands are great. I'm a Lyme victim, so I know that story. Sort of like getting run over by a truck every day.

The woodlands, a piggy bank for the police. Very high rate of pullovers and tickets.

I've never been pulled over. I drive like a banshee. Lol the police here are pretty amazing. They are chill even with our kids and their goofy friends. AND we are the poor of the woodlands. Its kinda crazy here. We are moving. Got laid off and cant afford to stay but it was fun while it lasted. It was also a very diverse area. Every race, creed, and sexual orientation found here. All different religious groups as well. If you can afford it, you are guaranteed a very kind place to live. Sad to be leaving.

@@JoseDominguez-pj7nn What’s wrong with being black?

The Woodlands is a suburb of Houston and Houston is the Karachi of the United States. Yes, there are a few pockets of civilization like the Galleria, the underground mall, The Woodlands (which is about 35 miles NORTH of the city, so that should tell you something), etc., but for all practical purposes Houston is a fourth-rate city in a third-world country (and to all those readers living in or originating from third-world countries, please accept my apologies for comparing your native homelands to the likes of Houston. No insult was intended). I've traveled extensively during the course of my life and as a consequence I've lived in and visited some pretty cool places (London, Washington DC, Paris, Rome, Florence, Sydney, Adelaide and Manila, to name but a few). I've also lived in some pretty unglamorous and immemorial places like Millington Tennessee, Bristol Virginia and Casper Wyoming. Consequently, I think I've a pretty accurate idea of what makes a city a home and Houston, I’m saddened to say, meets NONE of the criteria. In fact, Houston ranks so low on the livability scale that it registers a negative value. True, Houston offers good value for your housing dollar (I don’t know of too many places in the US or abroad where an ordinary auto mechanic can afford the mortgage on a 3,000 sq. foot home). It’s equally true that it very rarely snows or ices-over in Houston, so older people never have to worry about slipping on ice and breaking a hip; unfortunately, there’s more to a meaningful existence than affordable housing, dry pavement and a functional coxa. Firstly, Houstonians in general and Texans in particular don't like to think. As far as I can tell, there's no coherent infrastructure development or forward-thinking municipal planning. Houston and its surrounding communities are an un-zoned, patch-work quilt collection of conflicting architectural styles, forms and functions that would make subscribers to the Frank Lloyd Wright school of architecture physically nauseous. I’ve seen a glittering glass and chrome skyscraper overlooking a seedy single-story adult bookstore abutting a gothic church adjoining a Victorian-style elementary school sitting opposite a grimy industrial park. Seriously. In short, Houston is one continuous architectural eye-sore. Its what happens when the likes of Jed and Granny Clampit come in to too much money too soon, move to town and take over city hall. Secondly, and perhaps of greater impact on the individual than the absence of zoning laws and a coherent urban development plan is Houston’s complete lack of social and cultural activities. For those who appreciate even a modicum of cultural refinement, Houston’s dearth of suitable upscale venues makes the city a social and cultural wasteland of the type described in TS Eliot’s eponymous classic. Yes, “Ice Houses” abound. For the benefit of the unininformed, Ice Houses are cavernous, unfinished bars where lewdly-dressed girls with low self-esteem and annoying nasal twangs meet knuckle-dragging, monster-truck driving, slack-jawed illiterates in Houston’s version of the species’ reproductive ritual. These venues aren’t without a certain appeal to those (myself included, on occasion) who enjoy an ice cold beer on a hot day (which is ALWAYS) while watching a ball game on a wall-sized, HDTV as your hearing is assaulted by blaring country music; however. if you’re looking for an upscale venue where you can enjoy a reflective post-prandial brandy while listening to piano music and engaging in semi-intelligent conversation, well, you’ve pretty much got to hop a flight to New Orleans or some other mecca of civilization, like Kalamazoo, Michigan or Fargo, North Dakota. Although Houston boasts a thriving performing arts scene, including world-class ballet, opera and symphony orchestra, I wouldn’t know. All those activities are concentrated in a ten-block centralized area downtown, which is only 30 miles away; unfortunately, Houston traffic is so horrendous that one has to leave around noon to make an 8pm curtain call. In short, Houston is a blue collar town where blue-collar values predominate. Consequently, it’s as coarse, vulgar and crude as its people. Houston is all about guns and beer and monster trucks (all of which are clinically recognized psychological coping mechanisms used by the sexually insecure and mentally infirm to compensate for their sexual inadequacies and gross ignorance). Thirdly, Houston has no history. Yeah, it was “founded” nearly 200 years ago, but by outlaws and criminals. The douchebag for whom the city is named (Sam Houston) was chased out of Virginia by the bailiffs of Rockingham County. In fact, he was chased out of Virginia into Kentucky only to be chased out of the later by that state’s criminal justice system. I’m from Virginia which is home to the first seat of democracy in the Western Hemisphere (The House of Burgess). My state sired 7 presidents, 11 Supreme Court justices and countless congressman. Chief Justice John Marshall, who put the Supreme Court on the map, was from Virginia. We have buildings in my home town of Alexandria that go back to the early 1700s. My church, Sainte Mary’s, was established in 1726. Houston can’t even begin to compete with that kind of history. Fourthly, Houstonians are Xenophobes. If you want to find work in Houston, you’d better know a lot of people down here because Houston hiring managers would rather hire their drooling, mentally-retarded, illiterate, knuckle-dragging Neanderthal of an inbred third cousin before they will hire a competent applicant who originates from elsewhere. Fifthly, there’s the weather. Houston weather is so unbearable that you can't be outside for more than a few minutes at a time most of the year (and I'm an outdoors man from the mid-Atlantic, so I love being outside amongst the flora and fauna). In Houston, you'll die suffocating in your own sweat if you're outside for more than 10 minutes. And don't get me started on the local "vegetation"...it's the ugliest, gnarliest and most inhospitable plant life I've ever seen outside a science fiction movie. I half expect the twisted, stunted shrubbery down here to reach out and eat me as I walk past. Coming from the eastern seaboard, I'm equally comfortable on the water, but you couldn't pay me enough to swim in that that fetid, tepid, parasitic-filled Petrie dish-like bacteria incubator called the Gulf of Mexico. One guy just died a couple days ago down in Galveston and another is in serious condition as a result of exposure to some flesh-eating micro-organism. In short, Houston is a wasteland so barren and devoid of intelligence, culture, opportunity and sophistication that it makes the Sahara Desert look like the Amazon River Basin by comparison. Some locals actually think Houston is a great place to live. These are usually the same insecure morons who denigrate places like Paris, London or New York while never having traveled more than 100 miles from their precious Houston. To them I would advise seeing more of the world before making statements that confirm what I've long suspected: that most Houstonians are insular, provincial idiots. Bottom line, Houston sucks and I can't wait to relocate back up to DC next week. The sooner I get out of this dump, the sooner I return to civilization and life.

I am new to the KZread platform and would like to use this visual for an intro I’m working on for my channel. Your work is impeccable. Would you grant me that opportunity? I will give you credits. The raw footage would really be incredible! Let me know and I can send my email to you or put it here.
