Chron reporter is baffled: What's there to see outside of Houston?
In a post about how Harris County commissioners don't think they are getting their money's worth from the GHCVB, the Chron's Liz Peterson lets slip that she doesn't think there's much to see or do outside of Houston city limits:
At today's hearing, Commissioners Court approved the creation of a panel to work with the tourism bureau on better promoting Harris County attractions.
As lovely as I'm sure it is, I don't know how many tourists are going to make the trip to Edna Mae Washington Park in scenic Baytown.
First, if Liz wants to discuss scenic destinations, maybe she can post some pictures of the Chron building's newly restored facade. Goodness knows THAT eyesore was lovely for tourists to gaze upon year after year. After year. It'd be great to see how that finally turned out.
Second, how about we help Liz with some ideas of places to visit within Harris County, but outside of Houston. I'll bet she'd appreciate the suggestions.
I'll start with the Mercer Arboretum in Humble, and the Pearl Fincher Museum of Fine Arts in Spring.
Please add your suggestions in the forum.
