Mack: Just say no to the World-Class-pursuing Houtopians

Kristen Mack's Friday column was an entertaining read.

Although a friend of ours is right to suggest the lede could use some editing (newspaper columns really should not begin with contractions), the conclusion sounded familiar:

[P]eople who try too hard or politicians that desperately strive to make Houston "world class" are just plain tiresome.

Houston may never be a tourist city, but it is a fine city with occasional self-esteem issues (and a handful of busybodies who think one more mall or one more hotel or even apartments on top of a CVS Pharmacy remake Houston).

Here's hoping that eventually shuttling back and forth between the Pavilions and Discovery Green will help some of the busybodies take more pride in their already-world-class city!
