[Image] Happy 172nd birthday to my hometown! On this date Houston was founded in 1836 by New York real estate entrepreneurs John K. and Augustus Allen.
The city has grown since then to become the fourth largest city in the United States with over 2 million residents and the largest in Texas.
It wouldn't be a Houston post without me doing a little bragging. (hey, I AM a Texan) These are just some of the African-American peeps born and raised in Houston as well.
