TX/Rx labs in Houston is VERY interesting.  A hackerspace, 
but with a lot of emphasis on electronics, too.
They have a pick and place machine, one guy there has a 
fantastic electronics shop.  They have a machine shop with 
some CNC machines that they retrofitted.  I did see a PDP-8 
in the mezzanine of the front room.

Lots of 3D printers, wood shop, bike shop, welding, arts and 
crafts and sewing, and on and on.

This is probably only of interest if you are flying in/out 
through Houston, however.
