RGV, you've really outdone yourself. First, Houston, and now this. Great downtown pics and wonderful palm trees. Keep up the good work!

RGV, does Corpus sorta give you that un-kept feeling? Like it could be the jewel of the Texas coast with some street maintenance, and paint it could be a real gem in the rough. your pictures are always amazing.. I love the steal bridge flanked by two buildings the most.. but again they are all great pictures.

It does give me that feeling, except for Ocean Dr. and Shoreline Blvd and the other neighborhoods around there.

You make Corpus look good!! Very nice photos indeed You captured the best looking part of CC.

Don't forget to take pictures of the refinery smoke stacks in the distance behind the American Bank Center next time.

It gives me that same feeling. Even North Padre Island in the last 23 years it has not developed anything NEAR what other coastal areas have even Galveston. I'd even say down Ocean Dr. in Corpus that while it does have some of the really nice older, stately homes there are MANY that are disrepair. Older rundown apartment buildings and motels, etc. It is a shame. I'd LOVE to know the DOM for the listings along Ocean Dr. I have a feeling many are owned by elderly that have lived there for many, many years on a fixed income and just have not had the means nor the desire to "update" much of anything. Between Ocean and Staples and Alameda there are some really nice houses that have been kept up. Over around the USS Lexington and the aquarium they could come in and do a bangup job revitalizing that are to turn it into a true destination getaway.

Over on the island of North Padre I found out there had been some political squabbling and that is one reason it has not flourished and developed. I would hope they would shy away from the huge mega story condo's and keep it nice but with SOME development.

Port A is cool and has a funky kinda jive to it. Just not many good condos to stay at IN Port A and be w/in walking distance of most of the great dining establishments. Or should I say a golf cart drive away?

At least you DID manage to get a picture of the two story Whataburger in the background of one picture. I was wondering when I was finally going to see a pic of the old courthouse. GREAT JOB THOUGH!
