I
magine Austin's cool older brother
who fondly remembers the good-
old counterculture days and was
hip before you were even born:
that's the Montrose area of Houston.
Often called Bohemian and liberal,
Montrose may be Houston's most
interesting, eclectic neighborhood.
The home of pirate radio in the 70s and
the now-defunct internet radio Earthwire
(2000-2002, RIP), Montrose today has
gentrified somewhat from its earlier, grittier days.
But a few classic homes remain, mixing with newer
townhomes and high-rises to become the sixth
most-expensive ZIP code in Texas.
