Wenkebach1943

Montrose will always be Montrose. It's just changing. Like it always has been doing. I was born in Montrose in 1943 on Jack Street, near Alabama St. I those days (1940's and 50's) it was simply a family neighborhood. Then in the late 50's and early 60's it became the place for college students to live. Then the late 60's came along. (I like these times the best). Hippy's and a nice time to live there. I moved away in the 70's so I missed the gay times and now it's the yuppies with money. My wife and I met there in 1971 and are content to remember the 60's and 70's.  Montrose is what one remembers and liked about it then or what is to come.

I remember this motel very well. In the late 1940's when my grandparents would travel from La Grange, Tx. to visit us they would stay at this motel. We lived down the street on Waugh Drive in a small apartment. If the room that they wanted to rent wasn't available when they wanted to visit they wouldn't come. There was only one room that they liked. As a young boy, I thought that they lived there.
