No one downtown

I went downtown with my wife – we are in the woodlands right now trying to buy a house. There was nothing going on. Is this common? Like nobody walking around or anything happening. I’m in the Marine Corps, have lived in San Diego, Columbus Ohio, mostly Okinawa Japan. San Diego was always busy, Columbus had the north market and had people – but here in Houston – nothing. Am I missing something? Is it really too hot and humid ( used to it in Okinawa and we did stuff) that there are no events or gatherings going on?
