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."

Quality, gently used goods fill the shelves of The Guild Shop. Sign up for their newsletter, they take consignments and donations on a schedule which ensures they can manage what goods are coming in. It was opened in 1962 by the Sewing Group of the Church of St. John the Divine, and is almost entirely run by volunteers. Proceeds go to assist the elderly in need, giving large donations to their beneficiary—St. James House, the Episcopal Diocesan retirement home, and many other humanitarian charities. See something you love, but it is more than you'd like to spend? Take a risk, and check the tag for the next set drop date. Just remember, it's for a good cause and there might be someone else doing the same thing.
