citykid09 Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 WOW! You just improved my image of Galveston! I didn't realize all the new buildings that are going up down there. I want to see more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houstonfella Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I haven't been in a while, but that will change immediately! We Houstonians are so lucky to have Galveston and the Bay Area. Can't wait to get back down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris Posted March 13, 2007 Author Share Posted March 13, 2007 Thx guys.Galveston's really starting to look good. Can't wait for more highrise construction and historic preservation.We have a gem here close to Houston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aslowdodge Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Boris those are some great shots. I was just in galveston last week and didn't get nearly the flavor of galveston like you did in my photos.I was on the plane home and a guy behind me was saying how disapointed he was in galveston. He must have missed all that you shot and been on the wrong part of the island or something. Good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jax Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I thought I was the only person who thought galveston was cool, but I've only seen the good stuff (in these photos) not the sketchy parts (luckily I guess). I like it more west on the island where it's less developed and a bit more natural. Anyways cool photos, I am glad that people can get an idea of the nice parts of Galveston!

J.A.S.O.N.

It's funny hearing "sketchy" in relation to the poor areas of town. In all honesty, there is nothing dangerous about those parts of town. I grew up there. There are drugs, and homes in poor condition, but rarely any violent crime. In Galveston's case, perception far exceeds reality. The fact of the matter is that the island is so small, you can't get away with much. Now, the stuff that I see happening on Channel 13 news in Houston......

editor Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Wow! It's been a few years since I've been to the island, and it really has changed quite a lot. Lots of new development, and more people. It even looks cleaner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vertigo58 Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Wow, TAK! You're really a small guy. I will always LOVE Galveston for 2 big reasons: 1. The historical significance of the place. When I visit (quite often) I make it a point to attend mass at St Patrick's and or St Mary's Basilica 2 of the most historical places on that island. I then head to my "salvage" places over on mechanic district to scrounge for more cool old stuff. I have found some wild things that someone considered junk or tossed out. Many items survived the 1900 storm. Just too cool! 2. Benno's Seafood place on Seawall Blvd. Cajun style seafood at reasonable prices and you dont have to dress up to go in. Fills me up and so convenient. Now I'm hungry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highway6 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Boris.... small world. I noticed this thread for the first time last week, but hadn't uploaded my pics yet. I was on the Strand the same afternoon and 1/4 of my photos have some of the same subjects in them as yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
