Houston (i/ˈhjuːstən/HYOO-stən) is the most populous city in Texas and the fourth most populous city in the United States. With a census-estimated 2014 population of 2.239 million people, within a land area of 599.6 square miles (1,553km2), it also is the largest city in the Southern United States, as well as the seat of HarrisCounty. It is the principal city of Houston–TheWoodlands–SugarLand, which is the fifth most populated metropolitan area in the United States.
Houston was founded in 1836 on land near the banks of Buffalo Bayou (now known as Allen's Landing) and incorporated as a city on June 5, 1837. The city was named after former General Sam Houston, who was president of the Republic of Texas and had commanded and won at the Battle of San Jacinto25 miles (40km) east of where the city was established. The burgeoning port and railroad industry, combined with oil discovery in 1901, has induced continual surges in the city's population. In the mid-twentieth century, Houston became the home of the Texas Medical Center—the world's largest concentration of healthcare and research institutions—and NASA's Johnson Space Center, where the Mission Control Center is located.
Houston is an Amtrak intercity train station in Houston
History
The present Houston station, which opened on October 26, 1959, was built by the Southern Pacific Railroad to replace Grand Central Station, which was just east of the present station. That station operated from September 1, 1934 until the property was sold to the U.S. Government in 1959 to become the site of the Houston main post office. Grand Central Station had replaced the original Houston & Texas Central depot of 1886. When Amtrak was created it was one of two stations in Houston that served Amtrak trains, the other being Union Station, now part of Minute Maid Park. All Amtrak trains moved to Southern Pacific Station by the end of July 1974, and all trains were canceled or rerouted out of Houston except the Sunset Limited. This station continued to be owned and operated by the Southern Pacific Railroad after the creation of Amtrak, and has been owned and operated by the Union Pacific Railroad since the merger of Southern Pacific and Union Pacific.
"Houston (Means I'm One Day Closer to You)" is a song written by Larry Gatlin and recorded by American country music group Larry Gatlin & the Gatlin Brothers Band. It was released in September 1983 as the first single from the album "Greatest Hits Vol. II" then included to first track of "Not Guilty" (1984). "Houston (Means I'm One Day Closer to You)" was the group's third and last number one on the country chart. The single went to number one for two weeks and spent a total of fifteen weeks on the country chart.

Excellent day at the 8L spot with Chase! Gat a good variety of heavies and not too much wind. We did run to Rankin to catch the departure of JonOne special livery and KLM with a rare 8R departure. 8R wasn't even available for departures and he got cleared anyway.
Enjoy and Thanks for watching!

Overhead RWY 8L Heavies landing at Houston KIAH
More 8L overhead action, it really was cool finding this spot and experiencing the same a little different. Also managed to catch a Cargolux 747-8F just before it disappeared into the overcast. I encourage you guys in Houston to find this or the gas station the next time arrivals are on the 8s.

Overhead Door - Successfully Merging Rival Cultures
The Overhead Door Company (ODC) made a successful acquisition of one of its arch-rivals. The two companies had competed ferociously in the marketplace and had different operating models and styles, one being owned by a publicly-traded Japanese company, and the other a family-owned entrepreneurial company. Yet, the deal has been a great success due in part to the emphasis ODC placed on assessing the respective cultures and putting detailed action plans in place immediately after close to close gaps and bring the cultures together. Ken Mahlke, VP of Human Resources, will share insights on how, working the Keystone Group, ODC incorporated the Denison tools into the integration process.
