Hey Y'all! Happy New Year!
Going out to Corpus next week for work and wanted to know if anyone knew of anything of interest to see or do while there. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Ask any of the Texas planners about their experience a couple years ago at the state APA conference... or don't. They might not say anything!
#1 - this is one ugly city when viewed from the highway... be aware. THe older neighborhoods are pretty nice though.
Stuff to do in the winter... stuff I've done in bold.
beachcombing/hiking on Padre Island/Mustang Island
walking tour of downtown & surrounding neighborhoods (self guided)
Texas State Aquarium
Tour the USS Lexington
There are some Eco-tours in the area
deep sea fishing, if you are into that
Selena Museum (never been, but a friend really liked it... I don't know how she has her own museum)
Asian Cultures Museum
Personally, I'm not a huge fan of Corpus Christi. The seawall area is very nice though, and the downtown is improving. There's a couple of live music spots, which are mostly Texas Swing & Country (think George Strait more than Keith Urban).
"Oh, that is all well and good, but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country."
