A Town Called Addicks

On a business trip last year to Houston, Texas I noticed a signpost to a place called Addicks, which I initially thought suggested I was hallucinating in the midsummer humidity, though which I have only just got around to corroberating.

Indeed, it seems that not only is there a town named after the club, but there is also a nearby reservoir (see link) which just goes to show the extent to which our recent exploits have been noticed.

I was also able to find the following information on Addicks:

You might be interested to know that Addicks has a population of 32,070 and the average household income in Addicks is $98,643. Residents of Addicks enjoy 51.8 degree weather in the month of January and 84.1 degree weather in the month of July. The median age in Addicks is 40.2 and the average household size in Addicks is 2.44.

Hence, it seems not only do they get to tell people they live in 'Addicks' (as opposed to us, who merely live for the Addicks), they also get warm weather all year around and a very respectable income to boot.

I had been keen, upon moving to New York, to live on Charlton Street near SoHo but a move to Addicks would be a perfect way to prove my affinity. An income of $98,643 would probably buy a very nice house and Houston is booming again thanks to the oil price and the post-Enron recovery.
