The marker has been well exposed to the elements as it stands next to the harbor and has survived storms and winds and much more. The marker reads, "Dedicated in 1962 the site now called Anchor Park was the original idea of Charles Lowry, brother of long time Mayor Emmett F. Lowrey. After locating the anchor from the Grand Camp, Charles had the anchor moved to his shop by L.J. "Junior" Elgin. Former Mayor Jack Godard arranged for the anchor chain, and Emmett placed the forms and poured the concrete. "A formal dedication was held April 16, 1962 by Chamber President Stan Sheppard,Terminal Railway President Bill Wimberly, Mrs. Earl Noble, Rev. A. D. Bird and Charles Lowry. Former Mayer Curtis Trahan presented the anchor, which was accepted by Mayor Walter Holland. ""The presentation will not be for the purpose of awakening long dead and dismal thoughts but as a tribute to a great and growing metropolis with a bright future." (Quote from Dedication Program) This plaque was erected on April 16, 1996 following the removal of the old Holiday Inn in December, 1995 by Mayor Charles T. Doyle and the City Commission." The marker was erected in 1996 by The City of Texas City. Check it out. [Review 861 of 2024 - 616 in Texas - 21891 overall]

I stumbled upon this park when I decided to take a different route during my evening walk with my…read morepups. This is a small, quiet park tucked away in the middle of Montrose. What this park has to offer: - Lots of trees that offer a ton of shade - One tennis court - Basketball hoop - Big grassy area to run around in, have a game of soccer, or picnic on - Tables and plenty of benches - Small playground great for young children - Water fountains, even one set close to the ground for the dogs to use - Plenty of trash cans - Always clean - Never crowded - Community center that offers recreational activities for the public - A peaceful place to sit and relax My dogs love walking by the playground because they get tons of attention from the kids. This is definitely a nice, small park to check out if you're ever in the area and need some peace and quiet.

Cherryhurst is a great little Park located on the back streets of Montrose in Houston and it's not always the cleanest, but the community center here is a nice addition for the community and we've definitely had lots of nice walks around here and also spotted a lot of beautiful people here - and I'm not talking about ourselves but thattoo.

We've been here MANY times for birthday parties and church functions. Every time I've been has been…read morein the same room, however I'm sure there are also other rooms for rent. The particular room we always use for church has an attached kitchen with a small room between the kitchen and main area. That's always where the food gets set up when we have church dinners. There's a wall of windows and the opposite wall has some large mirrors on it. There's a short hallway near one entrance where there's a men and women's bathroom. I believe there's also a water fountain, but I'm not 100% positive. It's a great space for events... even though it smells kind of musty. The only thing is that you have to be a resident of Webster to rent a space and the guy you speak to is often hard to reach. Don't bother calling, he won't call you back. You have to email him and even then, be patient. The last part is not really a big deal unless you're the one renting. If you're just attending then it doesn't matter how hard he is to reach.

This is a great library, and I've been here multiple times. The first floor is separated into a…read morekids zone on one side and a quiet study area with tables and computers and a lot of charging stations on the other. The second floor is huge and has a wide array of books for adults including fiction, non-fiction, etc., and again, there are a bunch of sturdy wooden tables, computers, private study rooms/quiet rooms, and even individual seats with attached little tables to get work done in the back. Overall, a great vibe. Also, I love that the entire front of the building is covered and has shade because it's nice to walk there if you just want to stretch your legs, etc. The front entrance also has a separate ramp to get up if you're not able to use the stairs!

You don't have to live in friendswood to get a card and it's free. You could apply online but it's pretty simple in person. There is a QR code and it takes 2 minutes to fill out.
