It’s rare when a hashtag gets so much attention it rockets to the top of the trending list in Houston. But that’s what happened on Wednesday when #ImSoHouston cropped up and began a flood of responses from people describing why they too are SO Houston.
This spawned some memorable and hilarious responses from Houstonians. We have not only some very interesting folks here, but also some seriously self deprecating ones as well. Here is a selection of some of our favorites from Twitter. There were others posted on Facebook as well, but we’ll stick with the hashtag.
