Some cities have tours of their “historic areas.” Some of those tours are you driving and reading a brochure, and other ones you got a person sitting with you explaining what was what. (And some cities, the “historical areas” are that extensive and/or interesting.) For Galveston, the tour was placing you on a large golf-cart and having the driver tell you about each of the many available items.
There was a trend in the city to carve up old tree stumps into art after Alicia hit in 1983. Most fared pretty well through the years, although the mermaid had been damaged by the then-recent Hurricane Ike. The pictures of the Stork Club were interesting because on the column out in front of the establishment were signs marking flood heights of various hurricanes through the years.
One of the other great things to see on this tour were the
houses. But if you’re ever in a city
which has a historical tour, be sure to take it, as you never know what you’ll
learn.
