  1. Carnival to add another year-round ship to island operations Posted: Thursday, April 24, 2014 8:06 am | Updated: 9:56 am, Thu Apr 24, 2014.By LAURA ELDER GALVESTON -- Carnival Cruise Lines next year will base a third year-round ship in Galveston, luring thousands of additional visitors to the island while marking the first time a cruise line has deployed three passenger liners in Texas.The Miami-based company, which homeports ships Magic and Triumph in Galveston, said it would add Carnival Freedom to that lineup in February 2015, beginning with a special six-day Caribbean voyage before the start of year-round seven-day departures from Galveston.The news secures Galveston’s status as the No. 1 Gulf Coast cruise port and underscores Carnival’s bullishness on the seaport city.“In partnership with the Port of Galveston and the local community, we have been able to increase our passenger counts fivefold since we first launched service from Galveston in 2000,” Carnival President and CEO Gerry Cahill said.Moving the 2,974-passenger Freedom from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., to Galveston represents a 38 percent capacity increase for Carnival in Galveston; the cruise line’s ships from Galveston carry about 600,000 passengers a year.Before arriving in Galveston, Freedom will undergo a multimillion dollar makeover, Carnival officials said... http://www.galvestondailynews.com/news/local_news/article_33618be6-cbb1-11e3-afba-001a4bcf6878.html?TNNoMobile
  2. Baybrook Mall began getting its act together when Tanger Outlets moved down the road in Texas City. I had never seen an Almeda billboard/advertisment in the Texas City/Dickinson area until Tanger went up. These malls serve the same area. An amusement park was announced near Tanger, now Almeda is adding a Dave and Busters, plus 30 stores. The local news paper reported Tanger is expected to announce an expansion this summer.
  3. I sure hope it does. Galveston County will add to Schlitterbahn, Kemah Boardwalk, and Pleasure Pier!
  4. Thanks for the info! Your username is in Hebrew right? I've seen your photos on flickr for years now, you take some great shots. Welcome to the forum
  5. Never heard of this mall, before my time It's the PCP building here right? I've been in this building a lot, and quite recent. It resembles nothing of a mall on the inside. They've sectioned it off with walls and doors for a variety of clinics. Now that you mention it, it does look of an old mall, go figure
  6. I'm sure the Mainlanders would greatly appreciate that. Why would you say such a thing? These people are Galvestonians, products of the Galveston school system, and the GHA. Texas City and West Texas City/La Marque have been making their own strides in building a better community as of late.
  7. Perhaps some of the problem lies in advertisement? No one that I've spoken to (around Galv Co.) about the development even knows it exists. I'm only aware of it because I'm a HAIF geek.
  8. Great win for the team on the road last night! GO ROCKETS!!!
  9. Are they really "The people of Galveston"? Think about this, some of those same "Galvestonian's" residential developments were frowned upon by earlier "Galvestonians" who were out west first. Now they have the audacity to oppose new development out there LOL!! By the way, they perfer to be called "West Galveston", seriously.
  10. There was also a Foot Locker and an urban clothing store named Q.T.'s next to the "Pizza Place" on that map.
  11. This pic is from the 13th. I thought DT's club scene was doing well
  12. What do you think about Russell TJones? He's a pretty big guy!
  13. Or how about the Texans pick up Jamarcus Russell in the draft! (lol) I'd really like to see that guy play for Houston... ok I'm done with my campaign
  14. Does anyone know when LSU's Jamarcus Russell is entering the draft?
  15. I'm a Texan fan, but I found this video to be quite funny lol
  16. Anyone think it would work? I guess it would kind of be like DFW Airport http://news.galvestondailynews.com/story.l...24d2e0994d73b18
