Opened in 1970, Houston's Galleria is the original, in the sense that it was the first mall in the U.S. to fuse a mall with hotels and office towers, not to mention an ice skating rink bigger than Rockefeller Center. The mixed-use concept has been used in other malls since then, but this was the first, and therefore important in the evolution of malls. Modeled after the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele in Milan, Italy. Currently about 375 stores and 50 restaurants.
the Galleria (with a small t) owns all others, except the original in Milan.

School with an identity crisis- is it in Germantown or Collierville?
Does it have snobby white girls in their dads jeeps or trashy black soundcloud rappers?
Are the teachers rude and unhelpful or are the kids ungrateful little shits?
The answer to these questions will always be both.
Jeez dude, you go to Houston high? When's the last time your classmates weren't assholes?

The new urban community in West Houston/Memorial. Built during the recession of the 2000's, it defies the bad economy with succesful high end stores, eateries,bars, and ridiculously expensive residences.

Located in one of the wealthiest zip codes in the country, patrons are part of the executive, upper class that prefer urban areas and convenient locations, to the sterile suburbs and grueling commutes.

It's used when the person sending the transmission wishes to indicate that they're not receiving a response, but has no way of knowing whether that's because nobody's receiving the transmission, or because there's a fault which means any responses aren't reaching them.

Instead of waiting in line for a mile or four at a congested off ramp, driving as close to the junction/barrier to the exit in a faster lane and darting ahead of the lineup when there is a large enough gap created by a transport trucker or typical Houston driver who is distracted by the bowl they are packing with one hand while texting with the other hand.

A perfectly executed Houston shuffle is when the shuffler's vehicle rear does not protrude into the previous lane, they did so without going over a solid white and/or pylons (as 12 sometimes issue tickets solely for poorly executed shuffles), and vehicles behind cannot get offended because after all they created a 4-car-legnth gap ahead of them that was ripe for a Houston shuffle.
Rochelle-Alexandria: Hey that's the line for the off ramp we need, I guess we gotta wait in line for 15 minutes.
BHSLF: Naw girl! I'll just do a Houston shuffle. Like threading a needle you just gotta find the right gap ahead of a slower or distracted homie. Then we'll hit the exit in 30 seconds instead and I won't feel bad because we are using all available space.
