Sure, there are a couple really good artists that display, and sell, their art there, but the real genius to this place is the "Melrose Place" vibe you get. First, there are several people living there. They are supposed to be artists but are really just young, desperate girls, living cheaply. One is a Cam Girl for people with food fetishes. One reads cards and makes oils. Finally, one is supposed to be a photographer but I never saw a camera, just a bed in her small space. She was always quite moody, with an obnoxious voice, and many times would yell out to turn the lights off because she was sleeping....at 9am. The Management, Hans specifically, is a little shady in my opinion. They will vote people "off the island" if you disagree with them. Irina is nice enough but gets strong-armed by Hans. They have a contingent of non-Americans that do their best to keep things clean. The A/C doesn't cool and the kitchen smell like mold and sweaty corn-hole. The bathrooms are ok, especially if you are ok with pubes from the "shower" restroom. Ewwww The hair stylist, tattoo artist and toddler toy maker are all really great gals, with legitimate businesses. The rest are funny, and keep the drama level high. The property is definitely 420 friendly!

It gives me NYC 5 Pointz (#1) vibes with its colorful array of urban art. This experience is free and is the perfect tub of murals while capturing the city's Urban essence in an area that is changing by the minute. Find a good weather day and enjoy the street parking along Leeland and bring a camera to capture all the colors, convivial designs, and endless homages to mainstream heads and thought provoking concepts. This isn't a place that is often advertised as something people should see, but I think it should be on everyone's itinerary when visiting Houston. The other bonus is that it's rarely ever crowded. On the weekends, this part of town is in brunch mode but it's a quiet place and perfect for the casual tourist, the ever loving art fan, or just someone looking to diversify their social media feed. It is one of my favorite places to go in town. ___________ (#1) R.I.P: https://www.yelp.com/biz/5-pointz-long-island-city?hrid=05Il9SSjbIcv3lSEaHzdIA&utm_campaign=www_review_share_popup&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=(direct)

I'm shocked that we never heard about this place before. It made for a really good date night. We checked out the main attraction that we saw on Instagram but we also check out all of the other galleries as well. At least the ones that were open. The artist at the galleries were very friendly, and willing to tell us about their set up and everything they do. I had no idea this place has been here since the 1960s. We will definitely come back here in the future to check out more exhibits. I'm shocked and it's only $700 a month to rent a space. That's a really good deal. However, there's a five year waiting list which is quite long. So good luck with that.

This store is very nice with high end bedding and a very large selection with samples of anything they don't have in the store. I haven't been able to find a store like this in the Woodlands or since I left San Francisco bay area, so I was really pleased with their selection and service. I will definitely come back for more.
