Houston is flat, dirty, and smoggy, but very green.

As far as new hires, it's a toss up. Every class seems to be getting different bases. My class was told we'd all go to LAX. Over half of us are in flat, dirty, smoggy Houston. Nah, it's really not that bad, especially in the winter when the rest of the country is freezing.
