Galveston, Texas- Anyone Visit There?
 

I've been looking up other potential areas to live in and have been checking out the beach town of Galveston, Texas. Are any of you all familiar with the area and whatnot? Looks like real estate is decently priced compared with many areas in Florida!!

I can give you a few reasons NOT to live there.

1) It's Texas

2) It's already been destroyed by a hurricane once, it'll happen again.

3) Did I mention, it's TEXAS???

I gotta agree with chili on this one :laugh:

Why dontcha live on Long Island? While the houses do tend to be expensive, the people are nuts on the roads, and there are some hard-to-pronounce Indian names for towns (such as Copiague and Ronkonkoma), it's a nice little place. And if you live in Suffolk County, you can visit me!

What's wrong with Kentucky, Ethan?

Galveston or???

The song Galveston by Glenn Campbell is one of my all time favorite songs. I wonder when the oil spill will reach the shores of Galveston?

Sooner than they'll hit Kentucky, that's for sure.

And with that girl living in Kentucky, how can one go wrong?

ethan, i think galveston is a good choice. of course, i'm always partial to kentucky, but galveston is also first class. i have a few friends who live there, so if you have any questions, let me know and i'll make sure to get you in touch with them.



:thumbsup:

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

captured from above:

Y'all are soooo goofy!!! :laugh:

I'm just not a fan of cold winters at all- they REALLY drag me down. Plus I love a coastal atmosphere, so who knows- one day I may end up somewhere south. Other than the cold though, I have not too much to complain about with KY! :)

OK, then LI is DEFINITELY not for you. We get some nasty snow storms in the winter, and my school (Stony Brook) catches some nasty North Shore "breezes" in the winter that could knock you off your feet.

^^and a bonus is the hospital in the area is really good. i hear.
it's a win-win! warm winters, close to the coast and you'll have connections to people. you should do it :blob1: :blob1: :blob1:

what can i say? i was born and raised in the bluegrass state ;)





BR :wavey:

Long Island? Yeah, SBU is known for being science-y and they have a hospital on East Campus (or as I call it, the other side) that's supposed to be really good (and my jackass philo professor last semester had an office there).

oh, sorry. you posted and that was towards ethan :o

btw, random. my good friend's name is cassie and people get it wrong ALL.THE.TIME. do you get that a lot?

Not really. People sometimes spell it with a Y, but my last name (which i'm not posting) tends to be screwed up to hell.

Hey Ethan,if you come up to Connecticut,make sure you bring your wallet,due to high taxes all around,and cost of living too.Also Snow, cold .I would love to come down to Kentucky and get out of here.The only good thing about CT is ,I'm right in the middle of of the state ,which it makes traveling to NYC or Boston quick.Also I've notice our Stevie like coming up to the northeast to tour.

people call her "kathy, casey, sissy, patsy" lol cracks me up.




so give us more info, on your possible decision, ethan.....

Wait, I've gotten Cathy, but that's from me talking too fast

:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

And you'll probably die there too. :angel:

because you're on your way with a sharp object?

I'm not giving any details.

i'm not home, just yet. wait til sunday, please and make sure max is looked after.

:cool:

it says in your profile, you're from texas. which part? do you know much about galveston? maybe you could help out our ethan...??

Cold winters in...Kentucky? I had no idea. Don't go further north, you will turn into an ice cube.

a few years ago we had 26 inches of snow!!!

Did y'all remember me saying....IT'S TEXAS???????????????????????????????????????




"Kinfolk said 'Jed, move away from there", said "Californy is the place you oughta be..."







:lol::laugh::lol::laugh::lol::laugh::shocked::eek::thumbsup:

why is it that i've had ZERO desire to visit cali? not that this thread is about visiting, OR california :laugh: but i'm just sayin. i think it's too laid back for my blood. i want the hustle and bustle of big city life-which is why i want to go to NYC sooooo so badly. *cough* i'd never want to LIVE there, though. oh, hale no. take me straight back to kentucky, please. after that little stint in youngstown, i'd get killed in NYC, for sure.

I've lived in many parts of Texas. All I can say is that Galveston is a pretty rotten place, and I think Ethan would be much happier staying in Kentucky.

So I take it you live in Galveston? :laugh:

My cousins and I had a time share condo, for about 10 days, a few years ago, in Galveston. I was completely UN-impressed with Galveston. It seemed to be a drab and dreary place, with not much night life. Borrrrrring.....

Yeah, I like the night life, even if I don't boogie.

Well there goes the door prize... ;)

i think The Internet needs to provide ethan with a f*cking gazetteer so he can stop posting these threads.

Tell me about it. 3 pages of replies and he's got two posts in here? :rolleyes:

he'll post one more in which he'll quote either you or me and say "you all are so funny!!!"

:cool:

and that'll be that.

:blob2::blob2::blob2:
What did I win??? I have but one wish for the Ledge, if the wish of my choosing, is the prize!
:blob2::blob2::blob2:

Yeah, I've been told I have that affect on people. :distress:

You want coastal life, and you pick Galveston, TX?

Go fish.

The reason I was thinking about getting more information about Galveston is because Texas is a state that has a history of a fantastic choral music tradition. That is why I have been looking at Texas as a potential option. :)

Really though, I'm definitely not wanting to limit myself when it comes to teaching options, because the more options you have, the greater chance there is that you'll get a job offer! :nod:

You know the Ledge will NEVER allow that to happen. :rolleyes:

I know, right? Cut off your own nose, to spite your face!:lol:
