I came to Houston in 1980 and fell in love with lower Westheimer and the Montrose area at that time. Although much has changed, Montrose still retains its’ eclectic charm! ❤❤❤

I watched this over and over and over,. Thats a special ability you have to put such a fantastic piece together with the footage and music the area and footage. OUTSTANDING. only if it could be a few moments longer. Thank you for this.

I remember late night Saturdays cruising Westheimer and on Sunday cruising memorial park then going to Numbers. This was in the early 90s

The last clip where the guy was watering the front yard looked like W Clay, between Taft and Stanford.

I was only 4 at the time of this video and lived on Hazard Street, but that was my old stomping grounds. Thanks for the memory.

Almost 50 years between this and now. Montrose houses still looks the same.

I lived at Commonwealth and Michigan in 1972. Ahh the good old days

The old Texaco building is there on Taft, but it's a little restaurant now, thats how I remember the area. All the old homes now gone, my mom worked at the Southwestern Bell telephone building in the 70s, which was torn down, the site had been Walgreens on Montrose since the late 80s or early 90s.

Dear one who posted this fantastic video, my son lives in Montrose, recently a lady drove by and told him Bill Haley lived across the street from him, and he had cook outs on my son's front lawn...I wonder if there are pics or video of such wonderful historical pictures of this musical genius playing outside there in Montrose? 😍❤️🙏

The true Montrose, before big money came in and replaced too many of the ww2 era homes, when art was on every block on that section of Westheimer before the Whole Foods, Starbucks, Barnes and Nobles, GNCs ran out the small mom and pop shops. 💔

Looking for Prufrock's where we used to spend evenings sipping on wine and discussing the deep things of life.

The first time I ever got drunk was at the Daiquiri Factory in 1986. I was 15 years old and was hanging out with my dad and his friends in the Montrose because we got free tickets to the premier of Ferris Bueller's Day Off at a nearby theater. As others here have posted, the Montrose has definitely changed, but there are still some parts of the area that retain that eclectic urban vibe.

Who would have thought how valuable a lot of the homes/property would become?
