Scenes around the Montrose neighborhood where P.G. Navarro had his graphic arts studio on the corner of Taft and Bomar in Houston. 1972. "Breathing Planet" by Doug Maxwell
I was in college 1969-1972, and moved to Houston after college. As we left sfasu every weekend, I was glad to have pals to visit Houston and back then Montrose was a hippie haven, epic fun memories….
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.
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. 💔
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? 😍❤️🙏
My baby brother lived in Montrose, and me and my friends would cruise up and down Westheimer. So many clubs and shops to go into. It didn't matter if you were gay or straight.
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.
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 was 15 at the time. I have mostly good memories of Houston back in those days. I was mostly in the Memorial and Spring Branch area, but things seemed better all over town.
@@DrOrr The Village police and Spring Valley were always around, so you had to be aware of how fast you were going. The Houstom police weren't always around, but they were nothing nice. We were scared of them and the possibility of being locked up for minor bs.
