Can You Win Houston Bingo?

What does it mean to truly be a Houstonian? Do you have to be born here? Do you have to sit in traffic everyday? What about weathering a flood? Must you name a child after Jose Altuve? 

On 713 Day, we’re challenging you, dear reader, to question your inherent Bayou City-ness and determine if you can truly call yourself a resident of this great city through an innocent game of bingo. All standard bingo rules apply (bonus points if you get blackout).

A native Austinite, Catherine Wendlandt spent almost six years in the Midwest for college and graduate school at the University of Missouri (MIZ). While there, she talked about Texas and missed queso so much she had to come back.  In school, she worked as a city government reporter and page designer for the Columbia Missourian, a communications intern at a local jazz company, a food editor and later the managing editor at Vox Magazine, and a research assistant for the Association of Health Care Journalists. She's worked in Missouri, Dallas, and Barcelona, Spain, and interned for Houstonia in 2018, when she fell in love with everything about the city, except maybe the traffic and mosquitos.  When she's not at work, you can find Catherine curled up reading a good book, out exploring local parks, taking lots of sunset pictures, and trying to pet every dog she sees (in spite of the allergies).
