Happy New Year from the Texas Riviera!
January 8, 2010
Check out the latest (and we hope alluring!!) videos below. You’ll find Kadi’s “travel log” shot from her Mustang convertible, as well as suggestions on great buys in property around here!! The new video is a minute or two of the beautiful Corpus Christi waterfront. You may remember that Corpus is our lovely neighboring city just 35 minutes away.
GOINGS ON AT THE TEXAS MARITIME MUSEUM
If you are not a member of our local and highly acclaimed Texas Maritime Museum, you might want to join! Here’s an example of the great lectures and events coming up. On Monday, 1st Feb, at 1800 hrs, Dr Steve Lyons with the Weather Channel will be here to talk about hurricanes and other breezy issues!! And the museum has a great nautical-themed library, fantastic exhibits, etc. Family membership is only $35/year!! Get with it! www.texasmaritimemuseum.org
TALL SHIP PARADE
And while on the nautical theme, another great “Life at the Water’s Edge” event comes up in late June and July…the city of Ingleside will sponsor a HUGE event…it’s a TALL SHIP PARADE, as part of a US and Latin American birthday celebration! Tall ships from Argentina, Ecuador, Brazil Venezuela, Spain and Portugal will come gliding in to Naval Station Ingleside in late June and stay through the 4th July. Public tours and lots of entertainment will be featured. Put this in your calendar!! Bring your boat!!
COMMUNITY NEWS
A design for our new Rockport “Community Center”, a “gathering place”, was presented recently by the project architect to city council; the new facility will be located adjacent to the Community Aquatic and Skate Park on Stadium Drive. Gathering Place will include a multi-purpose fitness center, meeting rooms, a youth-oriented social/game room and locker rooms. City council will be meeting soon to discuss moving ahead with actual plans and bids for construction.
ADV
It seems like efforts by the Feds to stabilize the housing market are paying off. Sales of existing homes nationally surged in late ’09 to the highest levels in nearly three years, spurred by federal subsidies (and a tax rebate for first-time buyers), and a massive Federal Reserve push to keep interest rates down!!
All this great stuff is happening here!! We certainly have great opportunities for you to consider…excellent mortgage rates, lots of inventory, great pricing, and, of course, one of the loveliest, healthiest and happiest locations to live in the entire US!!! Believe it!! Why, even Coastal Living Magazine says so. And so do I. And so will you!!
FOUR LOTS
In the first LINK below, for example, you will see featured four lots that would make ideal locations for a new coastal cottage for you; one might even be the perfect place for a business!
2/2 CONDO ON THE WETLANDS AND BAY IN CAPE VELERO
And in the second LINK below there’s a 2/2 condo, townhouse-style, out in the Cape Velero area, that comes fully furnished, and has incredible views of what have to be the loveliest WETLANDS in the Coastal Bend. On the two mile drive out Cape Velero Drive, you’ll see vast wetlands on both sides. I’ve spotted recently there: whooping crane, sandhill cranes, roseate spoonbills, about 10 species of ducks, and endless varieties of shore birds. Very quiet, remote and natural area!! Call me with any questions. You need to be here!! Here are your links to copy and paste in your URL:
