Good morning Jason. Thank you buddy. We have another super windy day here in South Texas. We're supposed to get some sunshine Friday and Saturday though. Thanks for checking in buddy. Always great to hear from you.

Good afternoon my friend. What a nice drive in a beautiful place. I enjoyed the ride😊. Hope you are having a great time. Be blessed 🙌 ❤

Thank you so very much friend. I'm on the beach, which is awesome but there's not much cell phone service happening today for some reason. Kind of wet and windy.

Morning Dennis….Today’s video brought back many memories of driving along Ocean Dr. heading to summer camp at C.C. Naval Air Station. Corpus has really changed since the 60’s. Thanks for sharing today’s video. Safe travels amigo

[@dennis78382]

Good morning Doug. Thank you very much, buddy. I know I have covered all the little parks and houses along the way in other videos but so much has changed along there. It was nice just to drive and enjoy. Hope your day is going well.

Good morning friend. You know it was so hazy that you couldn't even see over into Ingleside. I'm hoping we get some clear skies or rain soon. I feel like I'm living in a bowl of soup.👍🤣👍

[@dennis78382]

Good morning friend. I didn't know that either Thelma and now it's all I can hear. Do you think I would've noticed that at some point in my life as often as I have heard that song. Thank you friend. No sunrise this morning but it seems like the sun is struggling to come out. I hope you are safe.

Good morning Dennis! When we first moved here I missed rain soo much. Troy was born in Texas so it didn't bother him as much. I've gotten used to it but sometimes I still wish for a nice rainy day. Some of the houses on Ocean Drive are pretty spectacular. It's a lovely drive. I hope you're doing well! Have a wonderful day 😊

[@dennis78382]

Thank you very much. Not much of a sunrise this morning but it looks like it's struggling to come out. I'm going to spend a few nights in Port Aransas. Have a friend visiting. Hope you guys are safe and well this morning.

[@LisaRichter92]

Good morning! Woo that’s warm in Philly. Bailey was so confused by our frontage road signs, he thought that was the name of the road. The highway system is different here, he wasn’t used to access roads. 😂 That’s a pretty area of Corpus with the houses along the coastline. Oh, wow, so pretty with the water on both sides of the road, don’t think I’ve been to that area. Some people do take advice from homeless guys in Texas! So many bases and posts used to be wide open. Hope you enjoyed your day and have a good one today! ❤

[@dennis78382]

Hey Lisa. Good morning friend. I think the first time I learned about frontage Road I was driving from Philadelphia down here to Texas. I was amazed that no matter when I got off the highway the name of the road was frontage road. That took me about a day to figure out. It is a very nice area once you get past the college. I see a lot of people fishing there on the weekends. I hope you're doing well today, friend

[@antiquingadventures]

Good morning Dennis! Nice drive. Can't imagine the views from some of those homes. Or maybe I just can't imagine affording the homes with those views, lol. Hope you have a great day, friend!

[@dennis78382]

Hello Jennifer. You know several years ago I booked up the value of those homes on the tax assessors office public records. Pretty amazing how high they are. I really like the ones that look like castles. I hope you're having a good day, friend.

[@authordebradickinson]

Carole King said in an interview once that “You’re so vain” was affectionately about Warren Beatty. My BIL told us for years that he dated Farrah Fawcett in college (UT). We never took him seriously. Then at a class reunion, someone gave him a photo they had taken of him and Farrah together. He was royalty to us then! 😂 I enjoyed the ride, views, chat and information. 👍🏼

[@dennis78382]

Good morning Calvin. Thank you buddy. I'm kind of curious as to what goes on at the Naval Air Station now. Last time I was down there that gate was all sealed off and now it seems like it had quite a few cars coming out of it.

[@rvlivingwiththegeezer7791]

@@dennis78382 Hey Buddy, I looked it up says it's primarily a training base for Navy pilots. Also some foreign Military pilots earn their wings there.

[@dennis78382]

That's pretty neat. So it's still technically a navy base? Remember when I would drive for Uber and Lyft I would pick up many pilots in that general area as well as the VA. Very cool. Thank you, Calvin.

Nice drive Dennis! Problem with the rain there (and here) is it all falls in about 3 or 4 months time, lol. Folks just north of Houston are getting a serious rain dump right now, flooding, schools closed, evacuations, the usual, it's pretty bad today. It's all going to come down the rivers too so more flooding yet to come. Oh, TAMUCorpus is in a prime spot isn't it?! Have not heard an update on that missing young male student from there in over a month. I'm thinking you probably heard about it, I think back in March. It is so sad. And weird. Hope your day is a good one Mr. D!👋🌴🌴🌴

[@dennis78382]

Hello friend. I have seen headlines about it, but I haven't read any of the stories to keep up on it. There's just so many bad things happening in the world. It's impossible to keep up on all of it. I hope you're doing well friend and thank you so much for checking out the video.

Hi, Dennis. What a lovely drive along the bay, with the beautiful houses and parks. Thank you! When you crossed Ennis Joslin Rd on your way to the scenic Texas A&M campus, you were not far from where I live. We sometimes get planes flying in formation, low and noisy, in training runs from the NAS. Do you ever cruise around Flour Bluff? There's a small airport way out on the south end, several marinas and a few RV parks here and there, not to mention the big HEB Plus and a lot of waterfront homes of a much more modest nature than the ones on Shoreline and Ocean. Good rusty stuff, too, as I recall. Hope you have a good weekend.

[@dennis78382]

Good morning friend. Thank you for all the information. I have been out there throughout flower Bluff, especially when I was driving for Uber and Lyft. I know I have filmed the big H-E-B at least once or twice. Looks like we're gonna have another overcast day. Hard to believe the weatherman keeps getting it wrong.👍🤣👍

Doc cut my wisdom teeth out or more like busted them out for a chord of fire wood and a lot of maintenance on their beautiful home. They were such WONDERFUL people and looking back I should have stayed. A lot of good funny story's right there. The teeth deal was an act of our father because of the way it came about. funny. Thanks so much.

Hey Dennis do you have any videos about the old CC courthouse? I have been fascinated by this building since I started coming down here. It has a very interesting history.

[@dennis78382]

Hello friend. I probably have at least 20 videos where I'm driving downtown and show the courthouse at some point and will either mention it or talk a little bit about the history of it. I'm sorry that I don't know any of the names of the videos offhand. I'll show it again when I'm in that area. It's a beautiful building.

[@ariesworld9125]

16:55 I'm sure you have, but just in case did you try pointing a portable fan right on your phone so it doesn't overheat? Then you won't have to freeze 🥶

[@dennis78382]

Hello friend. There is usually a very good breeze blowing here. The problem is the humidity just makes it so much hotter. Having a fan is great, but the only way I've found that will really cool off. My phone fast is to actually stick part of it in the AC vent. if I put a fan across the wall, he was filming all he would hear is the wind on the microphone. It's always a challenge.

The roadway itself is known as Padre Island Drive. There is a South Padre Island Drive and a North Padre Island Drive. The dividing point is roughly where the expressway crosses the road.
