I got pulled over by the police for walking in Houston

Running alongside the freeway is an access road where all the on-off ramps feed. It has a wide sidewalk along the side and it was only a couple of junctions between the hotel and the site I was visiting so I walked.

A police car immediately pulled up to ask where I was going and why? Fortunately the English accent convinced them I was obviously merely some pinko-commie weirdo and not a threat to Houston society.




I could see that in the suburbs, but people commonly walk downtown, in the museum district, and the Rice area. Lots of new condo towers going up in the past few years, and the light rail connects those areas.


HPD generally gives no fucks, sorry about that. :(

Maybe it was one of the little townships that still refuses to integrate into the ever-expanding maw of Houston (think West U area)?
