We did survive!

My wife and I honeymooned at South Shore Harbor Hotel in Kemah ... any word on whether it survived?

Bravo Bump!

Speaking of which Bell, did you replace your boat?

The Boardwalk Bullet is a nasty roller coaster. Very rough ride and if you are tall, a killer on the knees. First roller coaster I wanted to end well before it was over, and it isn’t that long of a ride.

Howdy Neighbor.

I'm in Seabrook, west of 146. We managed just fine.

Not so for those on the east side of the highway.

Boy, nothing is happening on Seafood Row across from the Boardwalk.

I guess they'll level Papadeaux's, it looks bad.

I miss Roses! ...where ya getting your fresh shrimp?

I went down to Hillman's last week, open but short supply.

I just read where Tillman Fertitta is in big time debt and is trying to sell off his Landry Restaurants chain, or his shares.

I'm sure Ike didn't help matters.

Glad to see things slowly getting back to normal.

When is the Christmas Boat Parade this year?

Always lots of fun.

This thread finally motivated me to call the Galveston Historical Foundation to find out that the Elissa has survived. I was very happy to find out that it did with relatively minor damage. I know there were a lot of irreplaceable historical sites in the Galveston Island area, but Elissa is one of my favorites.

We will be Cruising aboard the Carnival Conquest Dec. 7-14th. Many Cruisers stay in Kemah the week before or after the cruise. We are going to follow along with one such group. Watch for pictures.

If anyone here is aboard freepmail me and come up and say hi!

And the Old Quarter in Galveston has been rebuilding and should be reopened next month.

[NTegraT]

Thanks for the update. Life comes back to those who endure. Take care.

We did survive!

Excellent!

I grew up in Seabrook.

Rode down there shortly after the storm to help some friends do demo on their house. It was heart-breaking seeing what toddville road looked like.

My family took me there three weeks ago for my birthday to eat. Only two restaurants were open for business and so we left since neither one was on their prefrrable list (since sis was footing the bill anyway). One was a very UPSCALE sea food restauarnt I believe and the other a steak house. My sisters is coming up in two weeks so we'd like to try again but not if the selection isn't any better.

Do you know if any more restaurants will be open in the very NEAR future other the two from three weeks ago? We'd like more variety to choose from.

Good news, been there many times. My brother is prominent in that area.
