Montrose

For decades Montrose has been a neighborhood where you can come as you are and feel welcome. Now filled with museums, cafes, shops, and dives, you'll often find them shrouded in greenery or intermingled amongst residences. A great escape from the sea of concrete. We feel pride when we support our community, and inspired by the people who work tirelessly to run the places we frequent. We know parking is a nightmare, it's just something you learn to deal with. A sign of a more progressive and welcomed time, Montrose may no longer be the ubiquitous gay community it was once. This doesn't mean it's lost its charm or forgotten its roots. To take a quote from one of the neighborhood's original developers (J.W. Link) a little out of context, "Houston has to grow. Montrose [will] lead the procession."

If you are ever in need of a quiet moment of thought, meditation, or prayer, you can find it at the Rothko Chapel. Spiritual or not, you will feel welcome and moved here. The dim, diffused light and the 14 panels by Mark Rothko that line the wall create a calm, peaceful space to contemplate. The chapel's other vocation is action, and provides a forum for human rights. Outside, is a beautiful green space, and a sculpture by Barnett Newman standing in memory of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. They host a myriad of events for the community from yoga and midnight-meditation to live music and lectures.
