Blimp flying over Houston has city talking

The Dick's House of Sport blimp has been spotted in the Houston sky the last few days.

HOUSTON — If you live in the city and have looked at the sky in the last few days, there's a good chance that you've seen something a bit out of the ordinary.

A blimp has been making its rounds around the Bayou City.

It's a Dicks House of Sports blimp promoting the sporting goods company's new store concept.

It has been seen circling downtown, NRG Stadium and also taking trips up and down I-10.

Anyone who has lived in Houston long enough probably remembers the Goodyear blimp that used to be stationed along the North Freeway. From 1969 to 1992, it was kept at a base near Spring. Now, a Home Depot and Lowe's occupy the lot.

Here are some reactions from people who have spotted the blimp:
