Is Houston or Austin the Best City in Texas?
It’s a Lone Star Showdown today on City Cast Houston, as we take on our colleagues at City Cast Austin for the title of best city in Texas. Host Raheel Ramzanali is partnering up with local journalist Laura Isensee to rep H-Town, versus City Cast Austin host Nikki DaVaughn and producer Elissa Castles. We’re debating everything from affordability and entertainment to music and food to see which city deserves the crown.
