Because of its proximity to the
Houston Ship Channel and the Gulf of Mexico, Houston is
the center of the U.S. oil industry. It is also the
fourth largest city in the U.S. and one of the most
culturally diverse. Its famed museum district is home to
18 different museums, and NASA’s Johnson Space Center is
just a short drive from the city. |
