  1. Well, just drove out to Whitecap. Cars parked on it from Windward to the beach and they've still got barricades up. Oh well...
  2. I may go drive out and check it in a bit. As far as I know, we're still on vehicle lockdown. But, y'all at least have the excuse that you have your own PD. We're still part of CC and mainland CC only cares about us for the insane amount of taxes we send them...
  3. 6 feet is for when you're walking past someone. The distance should be larger for people who are seated and in proximity for a chunk of time. That's not what the CDC says https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/social-distancing.html#:~:text=Social distancing%2C also called “physical,both indoor and outdoor spaces. But, let's please not turn this into a Rona thread...
  4. BTW, I recommend Jacala off West Ave for Tex Mex...My dad grew up literally 3 blocks from there (off Santa Barbara). It's been there since the 40s and is pretty damn good. It's our go to when I meet my Dad in SA.
  5. I grew up in SA in the late 70s-mid 80s, too. I didn't mind SA...big town with small town feel almost. But I don't even recognize it now. My folks moved to Lakehills (Medina Lake) after I graduated HS (Madison). So, I drove through Helotes a ton back then. Holy Shit, I was just back there a few weeks ago and it was like I was in DFW. Almost got completely turned around it was so different. Still, it seems like a pretty cool place to live now.
  6. I live on N Padre Island. 20 min south of Port A.
  7. BTW...I DID give y'all some food porn from Per Se. I didn't hate it in NYC. It was fine.
  8. That's great!!!! And I will enjoy it here in Corpus...
  9. No. It's other people pissing on me because they're butthurt I don't genuflect to NYC.
  10. Opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one...have fun with yours...and your opinion too,👍
  11. Nah, not you. The poster I was responding to...I just kept your quote in my reply for context...👍
  12. Yeah...we may revolt over here, too. We're getting pretty close to going nuclear on Canales. And when they first opened it up for restaurants, yeah, it was a clusterfuck, but they really did start to manage it a lot better after that. I think the tourist scene is different here than up in Port A, though...even though we're so close. It's just a different vibe between the 2 places. We tend to have a lot more laid back atmosphere.
  13. If trends continue, I fully expect a new ban over Labor Day weekend... And while I think the masks are dumb as shit and mostly useless (I don't want to turn this thread into a Rona thread so, please, people don't do that), if it will get things back to normal quicker I'll suck it up for now (not just wandering around outside not near people though). And I'd do restaurants at 50% indoors if they can do the 6 ft thing (what's the difference between 6 ft in Walmart and 6 ft at Fins?). Other than that, I'm with you on the plan.
  14. My first post was asking about what to do there (with a comment about not going back) LITERALLY, the next post I made started like this: Die? Nope. I'm just not that big of a city person
  15. Here's a pic that one of our pilots took when we were helping the county do a damage assessment after Hanna...
  16. If pissing me off is one of Judge Canales' intents, then yes. Yes, there are a lot fewer people on the beach. But, due to the few locations that people can access it, you now have a MUCH higher concentration of people in a smaller area.
  17. N Padre Island needs to keep allowing cars. You can't just park somewhere and walk to 90% of the beach because of the dunes.
  18. God I want to Falcon Punch Judge Canales...😤
  19. It was a sweaty and sleepless night, that's for sure. Winds weren't bad all day. We were inside and out all day long. Even had people swimming in the pool. It was that shit at the end that was ugly. Kind of caught me by surprise...but, then, this is my first hurricane.
  20. Storm really fucked up Bob Hall... Beach is open over by Windward and I heard one other place, but I think they're really restricting folks from getting around the pier. It'll be closed awhile I think until they can do a full structural analysis on it. My kids went out earlier and said the beach was covered with crap and the water also had tons of debris in it too. We've got some of our drones going up this week to help the county assess the damage. I'm not on the list of required personnel but I may bug my boss so I can go out and play, too...
  21. Is that done by CCFD? I know all their drone guys. Our research agency will be out on the beach in the next couple days doing drone surveillance to help out the city/county....
  22. We lost power at 11:35 pm Saturday. Came back on at 6:30 pm Sunday. Had no cell service until about 2:30...
  23. The T head is gone...Apparently also really damaged the ramp going up the pier. .
  24. Looks like y'all are getting some of the nasty outer band stuff coming from the back side. Stay safe. We're getting the worst winds right now since this shitstorm started. Luckily it took a sharp left turn before landfall. I had a bunch of family come into town today for our annual get together. It was meh most of the day. Even had folks swimming in the pool about an hour ago. Now it's getting ugly again.
  25. I just saw that New Orleans has done away with To Go drinks right now...WTF? Texas GETS To Go drinks and NOLA LOSES them? This truly is Bizarro World...
