Houston, TX

Foro E.

You won't believe it, folks, because this city just clinched the filthiest title, leaving over 150 American cities in the dust. Talk about being the king of dirty!. Hold on to your hats, folks, because we've got some dirty news coming out of Texas. Despite the famous "Don't Mess With Texas" slogan, it seems like one city just can't keep its act together. Houston, TX has earned the less-than-glamorous title of the "dirtiest city in America," beating out over 150 other cities in the country. And let me tell you, things here are looking worse than a garbage dump compared to New York City and Detroit, two other infamous dirty spots.

This Texas City May be the Dirtiest in the US, and Its Trash Situation is Way Grosser Than NYC's!

Editor's note: Goats and Soda usually covers stories about the Global South and sometimes looks at how life there holds lessons for all of us. In this story in the Weekly Dose of Wonder series, we look at a culinary technique that had the opposite trajectory: With roots in the Americas, it has spread out around the globe. It's the story of slow cooking meat via smoking. Senior editor Gisele Grayson, a slow-cooking aficionado, says the results are wonderful. Anyone who has had the privilege of tasting her slow-cooked chicken would agree 110%.

Turning a slab of meat into tender deliciousness: secrets of the low and slow cook

This time of year, there are a lot of seasonal visitors to our nation's capital — the avian kind, that is. Washington, D.C., is rated as having the nation's best city park system, and migratory birds flock here on their journey north, many of them having traveled thousands of miles to nest and breed.

Heads up! Stunning birds are all around us, even in dense cities

Slightly southeast of Denver on the Colorado Front Range, the West Bijou Creek meanders through a 7600 acres located on the K-T Boundary. According to the National Park Service the site "contains some of the most scientifically important evidence associated with the Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) boundary [formerly known as the Cretaceous-Tertiary (K-T) boundary]. The K-Pg boundary at the West Bijou Site is unique due to its palynological extinction level, fern-spore spike, iridium anomaly and shocked quartz, Cretaceous and Paleogene (Tertiary) vertebrate fossils, magnetostratigraphy, and radiometric dating. Bisecting the site, West Bijou Creek, maintains a natural hydrologic pattern, flowing through a mosaic of upland and riparian shortgrass prairie plant communities, supporting a diversity of common and rare plant and wildlife species. West Bijou Site provides an excellent example of a valuable geologic resource located within a natural shortgrass prairie ecosystem."
