Clubs are tricky in Houston. A lot of clubs have sections now, because that's just modern club culture. There are those that don't have sections and even for the ones with sections you don't have to purchase one to go to the club. You actually meet more people when you don't have a section, which is sort of the purpose of going out (people can drink at home with their friends). I always tell this to people that move here. You save so much money not purchasing sections
The food is trash 😂 it’s all hype. Even raising canes is better in Lafayette Louisiana. When it came to house I was like 🤮. Ppl just make the food look good and it sells but a lot of it is bland.
@@IamEvelynEvetteI’m originally from Louisiana and been in htx 37 yrs. Tried lotus seafood , breakfast club, burns bbq, and many more places. It’s all hype. I mentioned raisin canes cuz it was in Louisiana b4 here and was so good but if u can’t do tenders right than what’s going on. The food here has no season and is bland and overpriced. The good places r very few. Ur one of the first to say the food is good tho. Had many friends come down here and said how it was all hype. I put money on it that they not touchin Louisiana. With a lot of the Asian ppl opening up all these “cajun” spots it’s real disrespectful to my culture. I’d rather eat Mexican food cuz at least I can def find a decent spot. But luckily I know how to cook and season my food.
Ik I already commented but I was shocked you were almost 40 that I couldn’t finish the vid before commenting, now that I have I’d like to say this video was extremely helpful I was kinda taking a leap by moving there this June from Alaska since I turn 18 in may and have had a lot of anxiety on whether or not I’d mess up the path god has in store for me but I’ve visited and loved it I just wasn’t sure if I’d wanna go all in til now thank you💕
I chose to live NORTH of Houston. I need quiet. Woodlands/Conroe area is what I need. I’m not living in Houston but I need to live close to a bigger city.
hi Joy! Ne moved Subbie here. My hometown is STL. We moved from St. Louis in July 2002 to Florida. We relocated to Houston March 2024 we were blessed to get in a newly built apartment, they were offering a mouth and half free to move in. I'm also 40mins from Houston, I love it here. You're right there's a lot to do here.
Welcome to Htown! I’m from the south but have lived in several cities and been in Houston for almost 6 years and it’s one of my favorite cities to live in. Let’s link up! 🤩
Welcome to Houston!! I moved here in 2022. Its a great city. Its not perfect but the pros outweigh the cons for me 🙏🏾🙏🏾. I havent seen snow in 2.5 yrs and I dont miss it. Ill take heat anyday for sure!
I appreciate that you clarified that your opinion is yours and different people will see it their own way. I have been in Houston my entire life. I have spent a lot of time in St. louis and it’s one of my favorite cities. I think houston is awful compared to St. Louis. So this was interesting to watch. I hope you continue to settle in well here and keep loving it. 😊
Baaabyyyy, our heat, and humidity ain't no joke out in Houston. It's so hot, I want to live in Alaska during our summer 😂😂, but I wouldn't change it for anything. Girl, be careful in the Galleria, it has turned hood.
Girl, I done subscribed half way through your video. Our personalities are very similar and I’ve been thinking about moving for a min. I’m so glad I came across your video 💖☀️💖💖💖
Welcome to Houston love! I remember when I was in my 20s, it was the first time that the Super Bowl (at least I think it was the first time) came to Houston, back in 2003 I think. I got into an argument with my bf at the time, and I walked downtown alone (we lived in Midtown), where everybody was hanging out the Saturday before the game. I had two pennies in my pocket at the time, and lets just say that I had the best time! I got fed, dranked and I smoked, all for free. Yes, for the most part, a "man" will make sure you're good.
Im turning 40 this month too. Haven't been to a club since 33. I prefer a lounge even in my 20s. Anyway i hear about the section culture killing the club vibes
Your video is so refreshing. I’m in Atlanta and looking to relocate to Houston. I was accepted into an Adult Gero NP program here in Atlanta but thinking of relocating and completing it down there.
@@NurseJoy- Thanks! I was researching nurse diversity stats; trying to compare. I will probably try to do a couple of travel assignments to get a feel for the culture. Glad you are enjoying it!
1:00 we help find luxury highrises and upscale midrises in Texas would love to help you get something more in the mix of things when your lease is up ☺️
baybay im from Louisiana i need options lol.i need to come to houston cuz the men in Louisiana aint it. oan i thought u were about to say 20- 25 .39 where? omg. Thanks for this content.
lol yes the men in St. Louis were not for me 🤣. Come to Houston girl I found my man the second month I was here and I had so many options. And yes, I’m 40.😁😁
@@NurseJoy- I have been following your channel for a few days now. And what problem am I seeing due to which you are getting less views and no subscribers. It is important to solve all those problems if you don't do it then you won't get good views and subscribers i mean organic result.
I know this is off topic, but I’m planning a solo trip to St. Louis this summer, to visit some museums and to see a friend. I don’t want to live in St. Louis, but do you think it’s a nice place for a visit? 😩

Right! I want to walk around and meet people 👏🏾
It's really annoying. I feel like people purchase sections just to be flashy.
You look sooooo good to be 40 omg. Millennials age like fine wine.
Thank you so much 🥰
Great video. I was so close to moving there from Austin. Houston has the best food for sure!!!
I just couldn’t go to Austin girl. Houston was calling me!
@@NurseJoy- you made the right move! So much more to do there. Just a different vibe there.
Well if you visit Houston let me know!
@@NurseJoy- will do ❤️
I moved from Austin to Houston area!
I am native to Houston & she’s not lying! lol - the food here is UNMATCHED
Yes, that is the reason why I am getting so fat 🥴🤦🏾♀️
The food is trash 😂 it’s all hype. Even raising canes is better in Lafayette Louisiana. When it came to house I was like 🤮. Ppl just make the food look good and it sells but a lot of it is bland.
@@bvictorian12 lol and that is the problem, you are trying places like “raising canes” a chain restaurant 🤣
That is not HOUSTON food

I wouldn’t say unmatched, but it’s great good options and a great variety if you know where to go.
Girl yes about not having seasonal depression out here!!! I moved from DFW metroplex and experienced it every holiday season until I moved out here!
Exactly it just disappeared!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAYYYY (if it’s passed already😭) 40 is crazyyyyy I thought you were like 27-30 max you look gorgeous

Thank you!!

Yeah, the more I stay in the north the more I love it🥰
@@NurseJoy- we ain’t missing nothing being up here except for access to decent hair people. That’s one downfall I hate.
@@Mita7401 🤣🤣🥴
Right Katy,Sugarland, Woodlands and Richmond very good areas.
Clear Lake Shores/ Seabrook is a whole different vibe. Come out here and visit. Kemah boardwalk.
I live in Kemah Texas (coming from NY) I love it down here. Highly secure and friendly community.

I really love your positive perspective. I’m glad I clicked on your video and subscribed.
Yay thank you for watching!
Thank you, Joy!! And welcome!!
Thank you! 😃
Girl, I done subscribed half way through your video. Our personalities are very similar and I’ve been thinking about moving for a min. I’m so glad I came across your video 💖☀️💖💖💖
Ok!! Come on girl I promise you won’t regret it❤️
Finally it’s refreshing to see a midwesterner making this video! To us Texas is lit bc we compare it to the Midwest which just ain’t it 😂
Exactly!! if you compare St. Louis to Houston Houston will win every time 🤣
Yep! I’m from Ohio and live in Katy.
I was born and raised in Houston, I hate the weather here. I lived in Chicago for two years, I'd take Chicago over Houston any day. That's just me.
@@GoddessBB I was raised in Cleveland. Weather is similar to Chicago. I hated it. Different strokes for different folks 😉

Yes and the men here do exactly that!
Im turning 40 this month too. Haven't been to a club since 33. I prefer a lounge even in my 20s. Anyway i hear about the section culture killing the club vibes
Yes I like a good lounge 😁

Yes come on I love Houston!
@@NurseJoy- Thanks! I was researching nurse diversity stats; trying to compare. I will probably try to do a couple of travel assignments to get a feel for the culture. Glad you are enjoying it!
I have been in Houston for most of my life. You tell no lies. I suggest the gym Life Time Fitness. It’s niiice. I’m guessing your suburb is Woodlands.
Girl Lifetime is expensive lol. I go to club Pilates instead because those classes are extra at Lifetime
@@NurseJoy- it’s worth ittttt. Sauna is everything lol
Girrrl that price is crazy lol. I will think about it 🤣
Wow! You really dont look 40 but more like 25. Black dont crack ! Houston is nice, friendly and the food is good but the floods.
Yeah when it rains it’s pretty scary 🥴. But thank you I will definitely take 25 🤣
Okay Miss Nurse Practitioner 🔥….Welcome to Houston. I finna see if you can serve as my PCP under my insurance. I need me a new PCP lol
🤣 thank you, but I only take care of babies in the NICU
The weather can be unpredictable, sometimes.
1:00 we help find luxury highrises and upscale midrises in Texas would love to help you get something more in the mix of things when your lease is up ☺️
Thank you I will definitely be looking for something like that!
You are too cute!!! 🤩😍Welcome to TX
Thank you!! 😊
So many people coming from St Louis!! We migrating to other areas lol
😂😂😂😂
Houstonian here and new Subbies..enjoyed the Vlog .Smaller blogger here as well..Let's mingle..let's see how u feel about the H😊
Ok hey girl!! I want to build a community of other small youtubers for sure! Thank you for subscribing.
Most new Yorkers are happy here and Florida and Georgians have a complex with Houston being a better place lol

Giggling to myself. I used to love Louisiana men back in the day. Now, I don't even like black men from America, period.
HI welcome to Houston
Thank you!!
CONGRATS GIRL
Thank you!!
The charlottes web clip has me dying. Not Templeton!
😂😂😂🤷🏾♀️
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it!

Houston Traffic make you want to stay home sometimes! 😂
Yes, exactly. That’s why I’m always staying at home. 😂😂
By the way I put in my GPS NO Tolls whenever I can.
I tried to be good and do that, but it makes the trip so much longer 🤦🏾♀️🤣
Omg you’re so beautiful 😍
OMG, thank you so much💕💕
I know this is off topic, but I’m planning a solo trip to St. Louis this summer, to visit some museums and to see a friend. I don’t want to live in St. Louis, but do you think it’s a nice place for a visit? 😩
I really don’t like St. Louis. I would say visit Chicago instead. 😁
@@NurseJoy- oh okay lol thank you ☺️
I’ve been here my entire life
Really I never meet people who were born here except my boyfriend lol
@@NurseJoy- I have a theory on that you probably won’t like
Can we be friends? Cuz I still don’t have any out here..
Yeah girl! I met my close friend on TikTok when I first moved out here lol. You have to build a community so that you don’t get home sick.
Wait for summer-you gonna melt! 😅
Yeah because I’m sugar 😉
I'm new to Houston. What are the best 40 and over spots?
I’m not sure about 40 and over spots I would say join some Houston groups on Facebook. I always find good spots to visit in those groups 😁
❤❤❤
Do you mind sharing the contact information for your apartment locator?

Girl not 40!!!!! I thought late 20s
🤣🤣 thank you!!!
How do you live in that reptile state? I can't do snakes
🤣🤣 I have not seen a reptile since I’ve been here 😁🤣🤷🏾♀️
I'm 49, and have never seen a snake in my life in Houston.
Snakes aren’t common in Houston at all 😭 But we do get tons of cute little geckos in our yards lol
I think its more Roaches than anything.
Dating sucks ass in Houston. Might as well go to the moon to find someone if staying in Houston.
Girl, it’s all about perspective. I moved to Houston and found my man two months later. It’s where you go and who you know. 😉😉
So the video is titled living in Houston, but you actually live almost an hour away from Houston? 🤨😒
@@ilykepink Houston is very big I don’t live an hour away from Houston unless I’m in traffic. Thanks for your comment
40???? You look 20
Whew thank you!! Lol
@@NurseJoy-you look so young ❤ your a beautiful lady ❤
Houston is an hour from Houston 😂😂😂
🤣
I’m so sick
Of seeing these videos in my algorithm. Go “explore” / live somewhere else please
Leave people alone. Why is it cute to tell people they can’t move somewhere? This is America.
Bye Felicia
