What is Houston to you?

Whether you've lived in Houston for a long time or are new to Houston, I'm interested in knowing what Houston is to YOU? What does this city mean to you? What does it represent? What makes it stand out? What impact has it made on you? Do you like the street art, the food, the performing arts, the music scene, and/or nightlife? Is it work opportunities and career options? The sports and entertainment venues? The culture and diversity?
