Pasadena, TX

Pasadena is a city southeast of Houston, Texas. The area was founded in 1893 by John H. Burnett. At the time of its founding, the land's lush, flowering vegetation inspired Burnett to name the city after Pasadena, California (there are a few other stories about how the name came about).

As of the 2000 U.S. Census, the city's population was 141,674. It boasts the largest all volunteer municipal fire department in the United States, the Pasadena Volunteer Fire Department.

The city's economy is closely linked to the nearby Houston Ship Channel and its related refineries, as well as NASA's Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center in the bordering Clear Lake area.

Houston has warm weather and mild winters. The following are some stats I found on weather.com:

Pasadena is home of the Strawberry Festival. Pasadena is minutes away from Galveston, Texas and Downtown Houston.

Speaking of Houston, the Rodeo is just around the corner.

Tickets are $16 to $300 and go on sale at 10 am on Saturday, January 12, 2008. It's a great time to get out and have fun with the family and friends. Among this year's performers are Alan Jackson, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Hannah Montana, and Fergie.
