Crawford St, Midtown

If you are a sports fan this street is a must for you as it is the home to the Houston Astros Major league baseball team. There is always hustle and bustle on this street and when there is a game in town you can feel the electricity. Enjoy food from the street vendors, you can even get official merchandise from authorized vendors on the street and if you know how to reason, you may get them to come down on the price. It is all fun on crawford street, and that is nothing compared to watching the Astros play and win.

Even though I am a girl, I love going to baseball games. I've been to a Houston Astros game four times, and my favorite place to sit is in the "Crawford Boxes", which are cheap and fun seats with their backs facing Crawford Street.

(There are no boxes, these are just regular seats in the left field outfield, but they have a great view because this is such a nice ballpark and it's a very fun area, even when there are annoying vulgar guys from Las Vegas sitting behind you who should probably have left earlier and gone back to the bar where they belonged... but that is another story.)

Besides baseball, Crawford Street runs through the parky wetlands near Minute Maid Park, and ends at the Toyota Center which has lots of rock concerts and other events year round. It's a lovely neighborhood, all very new and clean and shiny.
