Is Houston allowed to celebrate its birthday?

Isn’t that, you know, insensitive? But KTRK-13 is out there with a story saying there’s a big to-do planned this evening:

ZZ Top will be inducted into Houston’s Hall of Fame Wednesday. It’s part of the city’s 170th birthday bash. The band formed in Houston back in 1969 and has always kept a base here in the Bayou City.

Houston’s 170th birthday party will happen at the Wortham Theater on Texas and Bagby downtown. It gets started at 6pm. Mayor Bill White will be there to give out the honors.

Hopefully Harris County Commissioner Sylvia Garcia and UH Professor Raul Ramos don’t know about the shindig.
