"mild to almost boring"

There isn't much to say about this street except for that it can be very boring. It doesn't offer really much in the way of great dining or great shopping. I don't think this street was meant to really be a tourist attraction so much as it was meant to be a way to get to the great shopping and dining on other streets in the area. I really can't think of a reason to come to this street unless you are driving down it to avoid some of the busier or noisier streets.

"A peaceful place in Downtown"

Well most of the time, downtown is associated with hustle and bustle as it is supposed to be the business center of a city. This particular place in downtown Houston is different, however. I had visited the place when I attended an event at Hilton Americas more than a year back. You will find lots of Open Wifi access points in this area. Like a typical downtown, there are sky scrapers around. Hilton Americas offers a nice view of the downtown from the place.
