You hit the nail right on the head at the end. So much potential. As a native resident, it's weird seeing your town just remain stagnant for the past 20 years

Hey! Corpus resident here! A comment you made about Corpus stood out to me. It was positive. You said Corpus looks like a city that hasn’t reached its full potential yet. Yes, you’re absolutely right. This city has latent potential, huge potential actually. I’m hoping to see it bloom in my lifetime, not only so, but I plan to take office someday to make that happen because it’s time for our precious city to bloom and show her beauty❤️

Nice video. However, of all the Whataburger restaurants you could have visited in Corpus Christi, I'm surprised you did not choose Whataburger-By-The-Bay which is their big 2-story restaurant. It would have made a more spectacular filming location. The 2nd story has an outside seating area for people who want to enjoy the view and deal with sea gulls. Did you visit Old Bay View Cemetery? It has several historical markers.

Really good job covering my hometown (native & resident even now). I'm 2nd generation with my son & nieces making 3 generations. My grandparents moved here around latter 1930s or so. My mother still remembers the beauty of that old Courthouse in it's glory days and walking around the edge of that water fountain which had goldfish in it. She still recalls falling in the water amidst the fish. Lol. Heritage Park was created in an area that was really run down & made such a beautiful change to the area. Christmastime is lovely there. The Lichenstein House is nice and they had a retail clothing store downtown (Lichenstein's) which was lovely & even I still remember it. The Galvan house is beautiful & rents out for weddings with courtyards and Rose Garden, etc. Not far from Heritage Park is the Museum of Science and History which houses loads of interesting items like the accounts of the 1919 Hurricane and a room with the the Bucanneer Days area complete with some of the jeweled coronation dresses which are handmade. Hurricane Alley waterpark and Whataburger Field (home of the Hooks baseball team) are just down the street from all this. We love our Lady Lex. It had an IMAX theatre last I knew. Not a good tour if you have knee issues, but you can definitely spend all day there so the price is worth it. The Pearl Harbor exhibit is amazing & sobering with the name lists of the soldiers lost that day. Unfortunately, you didn't cover our Texas State Aquarium which is right next door to the Lexington. (Probably due to time constraints, I imagine). It's another great thing to do here and you can spend an entire day there, too. It's partnered with The Harte Institute & has an Osearch area, too. Our TAMUCC Biology Dept work with the aquarium for research & studies. Dolphin shows, Wild Flight theatre, hands on exhibits like feeding the sting rays, etc are just a few things to do there. The construction several yrs ago added even more. There's a 4D theatre & even a zero depth water park area. That area is North Beach. It was formerly known as Corpus Christi beac. Add a trip to eat at Blackbeard's restaurant while there for some great seafood like Pirate Stew or Fish Tacos. Many people have come here and mistakenly thought North Beach was The Island, but it's our bay area. The Harbor Bridge to North Beach is in the process of being replaced these days so pay attention to construction signs or you may get turned around a bit. Ocean Drive is definitely worth the trip & is also lit up beautifully at Christmastime. Corpus Christi was the home of Ray H.S. graduate Farrah Fawcett. Lou Diamond Philip called CC home at one time, too.

You hit the nail on the head when you said it's a Texas city what hasn't reached its full potential yet. I've said for years that C.C. is supposed to be our San Diego.

Between infrastructure upgrades, Theme & Amusement Parks, High End Hotels, Tourist Amenities, Food options, Culture and overall recreational activities, if those were heavily invested in, Corpus Christi would be a global destination San Diego/Orlando hybrid...Tejano Style🤘🏾😎🌴🌴🌵

Reading some people's complaints about this place, I still really want to move there. I come from a rural home in the middle of nowhere and the conditions around here are like the cons of Corpus Christi x 10. Potholes in my area are unbearable, it takes 15 minutes by car just to reach a gas station or grocery store, there's no beach to make up for it, no tourist attractions, no public transit, currently no affordable housing available, and it's not bike friendly like Corpus Christi. So to me, Corpus Christi sounds as heavenly as it's name implies. Plus, the grass is LITERALLY greener in Corpus Christi 🤗

That room that slept 6 had mesh metal bases for the berths, that was later. During the 40s and 50s for enlisted sailors the depth of your berth was elbow to tip of finger and a lot more flexible.

LULAC was established in 1929. It was a great organization that helped legal immigrants assimilate themselves in their new home by teaching them English, help with employment and adjust to their new culture.

Where are your must avoid areas? I am moving there and don't want to learn the hard way 😊

Don't park your vehicle too long and adhere to all the signs. Those signs of take your stuff, lock your car also means for your trunks and truck lock boxes as well. 4 generations of millwright tools, dates from the late 1800s to the early 2000s were stolen from me. My tools are replaceable but my great grandfather's tools were not along with his boxes and they were in my locked tool box which looked as if they used a giant can opener to open it. According to the police, there was nothing they could do but I could check the pawn shops to see if they had my tools in there and that happened in front of a security camera at the OMNI Hotel parking garage. Yes, Corpus Christi is beautiful but it's fun to visit. Reminds me of Galveston...just don't stay too long. You'll end up with barnacles on the bottoms of your shoes.

Corpus has the interesting distinction as having the largest percent of residents of any Texas city with their credit under debt collection

Old Nueces County Courthouse although, Oasis sounds better! Love your video. There are only parts of Corpus that look amazing beautiful! A native of Corpus Christi, Texas. It's ashamed that no one from City Council or Mayor refuses to beautify other city neighborhoods that are so desperately in need improvement. I've left 21 years ago and we come visit our old neighborhood and it still looks so so depressing and very left out from the entire city. Yes, it has so much potential but the City Council or Mayor will use city tax dollars to keep improving from ocean drive to the south padre side to reel in tourist. Who would ever want to visit the northside or westside? Looks so forgotten & neglected. It's just sad that for many years there has only been one main focus attraction that gets invested yearly beside yearly potholes on city streets.
