Houston, We Have Lift Off

I first came to Houston in the summer of 1966, then moved back to College Station until making a permanent move in 1968. Excluding a short 6-year stint in metro Dallas, Houston has been my home for a net 39 years. Yikes, I didn't think I was that old yet! In my mind, I am not. I am still working and painting and don't know that I ever will retire if the world cooperates and my customers continue to place orders. Enough about me. Back to Houston.

With NASA Johnson Space Center located just south of the city, Houston became known as Houston - Space City USA. Others tried to utilize the popularity of the name. [A proposed theme park-to-be in Alabama, Space City USA, never was completed.] Although I fail to find a reference to Space City on the Greater Houston Convention & Visitor's Bureau website, the City of Houston always will be associated with Space City USA in my mind.

I am still painting boxer dogs to benefit boxer rescue organizations. Here is a link to the most recent one completed of a boxer named Houston.
