It would be nice if Houston's Symphony performed their annual July 4th concert in Houston, on the steps of City Hall, maybe? I'm not trying to be territorial, I just want more of these traditional events in Houston-proper, and not in the suburbs.
They will be playing tomorrow, on the 4th, at Miller Outdoor Theater.
