Yowser! Amazing story. Good to hear the river has crested. Sorry to hear about your camera. Hang in there.
I’ve been without cable (not surprising that there’s a delayed reaction — again), so now that it’s back on, I’m trying to play catch-up as fast as I can.
Did anyone recall seeing recent pictures of a restaurant called Fish Tales at 2502 Seawall in Galveston? I know a group of people who met at Fish Tales regularly, so I went down there once in July 2007 with my daughter and a family friend who was familiar with the area. We came into Galveston via the Interstate and left town via the ferry route, so I’m really glad that I had one opportunity to see the city of Galveston and the Bolivar Peninsula before Ike. We had spent a really pleasant day in Galveston and planned to go back again in May 2008, but we had a family emergency and went to Florida instead and didn’t get a chance to return. Someday, in what I imagine will be a very distant future, if there’s anything left of Fish Tales, I’ll bet those regulars would return again given the opportunity. I wonder what happened to the place?
