Now I gotta do a times two on rcasady's post! LOL As far as a relief from the big city...u cant beat the island. No, its not Destin...but its also NOT a days drive away. If you catch it on the right day..the water can be as nice as just about anywhere on the planet. ESE winds bring in the gorgeous emerald green water to the beach...u just have to know when to go. Also...can someone name me ONE city that doesn't have a "dumpy" part of town?

Anygunanywhere...I think your chances of getting "jacked" are FAR higher at the walmart or target right outside your little hamlet of clear lake shores. Bullet proof glass in the golf cart perhaps??

Times two on Alvins statement. Since Ike flushed out the public housing on the island and the major perpetrators of most island crime scattered to the MAINLAND (some in the vicinity of CLEAR LAKE SHORES), crime is down dramatically on the ISLAND. Galveston also has an excellent interim police chief by the name of Henry Porretto who is doing a tremendous job in erradicating crime on the island. Why he is not make permanent chief is beyond me.
