The Greater Houston Convention and Visitor's Bureau has put together a rad video of Houston life set to music by local band The TonTons. With great shots of the downtown skyline, Discovery Green and lots of Houston culture and nightlife, the video aims to change Houston's image for those skeptics who've never had the privilege of an extended visit.

What do you think of it?
