Unlike you, I have not lived in Houston all my life but I have never been in such a friendly city. Strangers on the street/stores actually smile at you. Most drivers allow you to merge. Little things like that. It does not surprise me at all that Houstonians have opened their hearts to the evacuees. The NYT would never recognize the dynamic yet human heartbeat of Houston.

I am a transplant from Los Angeles to Atlanta and I noticed the same thing here. I think its a southern thing.

People raised in the south are generally taught to be genteel. Men still open doors for ladies down here and the ladies say "thank you". The folks at the NYT should give some plain old good manners a try. It might make those lumps of blackened coal they call hearts soften.
By the way, glad you decided to make Houston your home. As some folks down here say, "I wasn't born a Texan but I got there as fast as I could!"
