• Houston is the egg roll capitol of the world. Last time someone added ‘em up, an estimated 240 million egg rolls were being produced here. Two of the biggest manufacturers are Chung’s in Houston and Minh Foods in Pasadena, but there are many other smaller companies in the biz as well.
• Howard Hughes is buried here. The aviator/industrialist/reclusive millionaire was born in Humble in 1905 and, after a life filled with celebrity, wealth and mental illness, he was buried in Glenwood Cemetery on Washington Avenue. Before you stop bar-hopping in the popular entertainment district, you can stop his grave. The grounds are open 8 a.m.-5 p.m. most days. Also of note (to cinephiles) at Glenwood: Gene Tierney also is buried at Glenwood.
