Sugar Land is not "country living." (Wish it were, though. You can get that, however, within about a 10 minute drive from there). It is a suburb of Houston, and only a 13 mile commute to uptown Houston (Galleria area). Most of it is "upscale" and much of it is new, but you get a lot for your money. When First Colony Mall was built several years ago, the demographics showed that households within a 5 mile radius of the mall had a disposable income that was 3 times higher than the national average. The whole are has been growing like gangbusters for years.

Thanks for the info, it sounds like a nice place. I hope I didnt offend anyone with my post, it was just a general observation that the press only wants to portray a certain "type" of conservative. Its annoying.

Sugarland was first famous for its penitentiary.

Midnight Special

WELL, OH WELL, OH WELL, OH WELL, OH WELL.

WAKE UP EARLY IN THE MORNIN',
IN THE DING DONG RING,
COME WALKING TO THE TABLE,
I SEE THE SAME DAMN THING.
KNIFE AND FORK UPON THE TABLE,
PIECE OF PAPER IN MY HAND,
NOTHIN' I CAN DO ABOUT IT,
I GET IN TROUBLE WITH THE MAN.

LET THE MIDNIGHT SPECIAL
SHINE A LIGHT ON ME,
LET THE MIDNIGHT SPECIAL
SHINE ITS EVERLOVIN' LIGHT ON ME.

IF YOU EVER GO TO HOUSTON,
YOU BETTER ACT RIGHT,
YOU BETTER NOT GAMBLE
AND YOU BETTER NOT FIGHT.
'CAUSE THE SHERIFF WILL ARREST YOU
AND HE'LL CARRY YOU DOWN.
IF THEY'RE GONNA FIND YOU GUILTY,
YOU'RE PENITENTIARY BOUND.

LET THE MIDNIGHT SPECIAL
SHINE A LIGHT ON ME,
LET THE MIDNIGHT SPECIAL
SHINE ITS EVERLOVIN' LIGHT ON ME.
