Houston is a pretty nice city in quite a few ways.
It's definitely got character.
If you're ever here again, check out the Sugar Land area. It's mostly fairly well-off suburbia, but it does have some areas that have character in the older parts. As do nearby Richmond and Rosenberg.
Oh, and there are a number of very good small theater companies. The Alley is not all there is, and in my opinion not even the best.
