HOUSTON, Texas -- This weekend, locals are invited to sweat it out, but in the confines of an innovative new gym. Film fans can flock to a classic outdoor thriller screening at Buffalo Bayou Park, while the city celebrates hip-hop's 50th anniversary downtown.
Look for art shows, a horror movie fest, a celebration of reggae and more. And those looking to bloom can hit Houston's hottest plant shop for prosecco, partying, and of course, that plant life.
