It's funny how you mention Galveston is a horrible dirty place or whatever. My mom's friend just moved there from Houston and she loves it. Apparently she was looking at properties there for a few years, and she found one that overlooked the water so she bought it. It sounds as though you would have advised her to stay in Houston :laughing:

WTF dude I've been to Galveston, I have some relatives that live there. It's not bad at all.

it was horrible in the 80s but I hear they cleaned it up pretty well since then.

I thought it was a really nice city actually, I liked the beach a lot and there were a lot of really nice houses.

you were there in the 80s? didn't think you were born yet.

Well frigg, I meant when we went there.

It's a joke. I've lived on nice beaches before. Galveston is only nice if you've lived in Houston your entire life or have never been to a half way decent beach. Everybody who has moved here from out of state knows it.

This woman is originally from Corpus Christi, but I don't know how that compares to Galveston.

I was raised in Houston but I'm spoiled from my family on my mother's side coming from St. Thomas. Caribbean beaches trumps all US beaches. I will never go into a US beach.

The pacific is pretty nice, and there are some gorgeous parts of the Atlantic. But I can understand, the Caribbean would pretty much ruin every other beach in existence.

I actually like Corpus Christi a lot better. Same generally region but much cleaner, less industry. Still a gulf-coast beach though. I can't stand the gulf.
