contrary to popular belief, i do LOVE my city. i was raised here and without Houston i'd probably be a totally different person. and although im still hanging in limbo on whether i'll be moving out the state for awhile...there are some great pieces here in the city to enjoy! whether you're coming to visit or just looking for something to do...have you experienced these 3 gems?
1. The Ensemble Theatre [[www.ensemblehouston.com]]
I had the pleasure of enjoying some shows here before the season was over, and I can't believe I lived here all these years and never visited this place! The facility feels like a home and the staff is easy going. Great shows here & guess what? You won't spend more than $30 on this date!
2. Discovery Green [[www.discoverygreen.com]]
Came here for the first time August 2009. Love it! It's not quite Central Park but it's beautiful, huge with lots of roaming space! There are plenty of weekly events posted on the site from writers' workshops to yoga on the lawn. All free! Can't beat that...
3. Museum District [[www.houstonmuseumdistrict.org]]
Been coming to the District since I was a kid but didn't begin to appreciate it until I was a college student. Did you know most of the museums are free?! Free the Buffalo Soldier Museum in 3rd Ward. Everybody there is knowledgeable and only a $2 entry free! Walking distance between most of the theaters.
