    In Houston, during the 60s, you could drive out into the wilderness once you passed 610.

    But with urban sprawl all the way out to Conroe, Katy, and Rosenberg, what used to be a 15 minute drive has turned into hours in the car to escape the edge of the city.

    Every new subdivision pushed the rural neighborhoods farther and farther away.
