Westheimer Street Festival 2000:
What Remains Behind
After a day at the Westheimer Street Festival - In Exile (5/6/00), I
decided to go back to the lower Westheimer again, and snapped several pics
a few blocks west of Waugh - Yoakum Blvd., going west on Westheimer.
Loud music was prevalent on this day, since it's a reminder that the Westheimer
Street Festival isn't dead or ostracised for good.
A few blocks west of Commonwealth Blvd, not too many people came to the
section of Westheimer, where it curves slightly. The pink house (now
a clothing store) was playing loud music during the day of the WSF, as
a message that the WSF is alive and kicking, except for the lost partygoers
on Allen Parkway.
It's sad to see fewer crowds, like if it were a Friday night.
Even musicians were still playing their instruments, but the party goes
on...
Throughout the entire day, traffic flowed (which is common on this section
of the Lower Westheimer), and the party goes on. What used to be
a large crowd every spring and fall has disappeared, in a neighborhood
once a haven of hippies during the late 1960s in Houston. Today,
gays and lesbians have replaced the hippies.
