When you see this on tv come back to SA for a few days
Im moving from San Marcos
Hope you're Caucasian or don't get offended by the confederate flag.
JK, good luck with the new job.
dont get shot
If you run across a foul mouthed little boy, don't lip off to his dad.
Try to stay away from East and North Corpus. Definately do not live ANYWHERE in the West part of town, and BY GOD stay out of the Southside.... and by all means... stay out of the outskirts... If you keep away from these parts of town, you should be ok.
Im moving to Tennessee where the condferate flag is welcome. My fiances bro in law has a General Lee, it is a blast driving around in that thing honking the dixie horn.
Move to Bishop. It's beautiful and only 45 minutes away from Corpus.
The south side is pretty nice but for the most part its tough to define what are good areas and what aren't. This town is littered with neighborhoods that have 4 or 5 good streets followed but a few streets where things are run down. So your best bet is south to south west further twords the Bluff. But whatever you do don't move into the bluff.
Fishing is pretty solid everywhere. Once you pass the bluff and start heading to the island you can fish the red dot and cos way both of which are solid. Don't bother with the piers there just crawl underneath the highway and fish the opposite side or right underneath the highway. Its good there at night because of the big highway lights that beam down to the water. Then if you go all the way to the island you can fish Bob Hall pier. I'd stay away from fishing down off of Ocean drive because its just not that productive. Indian Point pier heading twords Portland is good and the bridge in Rockport is great over night fishing.
The restaurants pretty well suck here. There is a place called Batters Up on Webber its ok for burgers and beer. There are a million mexican food restaurants all of which are average to above average. There is a Saenz meat market that doesn't sell meat just Barbacoa and Lengua on the weekends. They're across from the HEB on Kostoryz. Its probably the only mexicany related food that I would consider well above average to great.
Your best bet is to just cook yourself. They sell live shrimp at the T-head downtown but don't buy it in the bait shop try and find one of the shrimpers hanging down at the piers there. There is also a guy that parks a big van down on the island with fresh fish. Looks scary but its always good. Moody's meat market on Alameda is easily the best meat market in town.
Be prepared to wait for in this town. No one is in a hurry to do anything for you. People don't return calls. I'm talking cable companies, storefronts, repair shops you name it and they're unmotivated to go the extra mile. Its like a weird Jamaican type at ude here...."I'll get around to it latta mon". I can adjust to just about anything but its one of the things about this town that I absolutely ing hate. Its as if people don't want work in this town.
What else do you want to know?
the best place to eat is Whataburger!!!!!
i think they have a website, whataburger.com
I just now caught that.
I was wondering how long it would take you to get that.I just now caught that.
Mac's barbeque ftw.
I've eaten at the one here in town and yeah its pretty good but I hear the one in Portland is solid but I've yet to eat there.
I used to live in CC, we moved right after hurricane Celia ...
B2B, do you know where Whitehall Drive is?
I lived in Portland for about a year and we went to the one there almost every day. It's easily my favorite bbq of all time. I didn't even know they had one in town.
Is the mini-golf place with the big dinosaurs on Leopard drive still there?
I always liked going to CC. One of the few places in TX outside SA I would live.
You have to come up with some tongue-in-cheek thing that CC can stand for. A friend of mine who lives there now says she lives in Crappy City, Texas. I preferred calling it Crapus Christi when I lived there.
The Macs in town is on Alameda. I doubt the mini golf is still there because leopard street is a now a haven for pros utes and druggies, the island has a kick ass putt putt layout so everyone just goes there. Never heard of Whitehall
watch out for underage strippers and sorry to say, but Selena's boutique just closed it's doors so you've missed your chance for a bidi bidi bouffant.
If I remember correctly it's right off of SPID ...
Been so long I cant remember. LOL
born and raised there...... nolans steakhouse, blackbeards seafood, U&I restaurant, harveys barndoor, pete's chicken and more, of course whataburger are some of the places i liked - there are mexican restaurants every 3 blocks - that's what i miss the most from texas is good mexican food
