Anna Across America - Houston
Houston -- the fourth largest city in the United States -- is filled with Texas-size charm, a perfect place for winsome Dr Pepper scholar Anna Trundle to make her Southwest debut. Houston is home to Texas Medical Center, the largest medical center in the world, NASA's Johnson Space Center, which houses "Mission Control", and a theater district, second only to New York City. Less than three hours from Houston is Waco, Texas. It was here that Dr Pepper was created by - all together now - pharmacist Charles Alderton. To commemorate its place in history, The Dr. Pepper Museum was established in Waco to tell the story of the soft drink industry and to celebrate the unique taste of Dr Pepper.
