Theatre patrons leave The Hobby Center after a matinee performance in Houston's downtown theatre district June 1, 2013. Houston is known for its energy companies, urban sprawl, humidity and NASA's Johnson Space Center. But lately the Bayou City has been gaining accolades for a robust cultural scene. From the performing and visual arts to food and festivals, the nation's fourth-largest city is gaining recognition as a sophisticated and multi-cultural center. Picture taken June 1, 2013.
