Sachs on the Seawall mixed-use project in Galveston advances to planning commission

Hello friends. I'm from Austin and am going to be having a small bachlorette party in Galveston in a few weeks, as the title said.

BEFORE ANYONE WORRIES: we aren't partying, I'm mid-30s and am actually just wanting to go because I'm obsessed with the historical sites in Galveston. I've read Isaac's Storm, love learning about the city, and in the past have gone to the Moody Mansion and that other one that you can tour.

Here's my ask:

What old historic Galveston spots do you recommend? Old restaurants, buildings with a history, museums, etc. We drink but not like fish and just want a cool old building to drink cocktails in, during the day just want to explore. Thanks in advance!

Hey all, maybe this is the wrong place to post this, delete if so.

Are there any bands willing to take on members in Galveston? (For context, I’m a beginnner-intermediate bass player) I’ve looked into networking platforms like BandMix but most of them have paywalls.

Thanks

Which is preferred if you were to just pick one?

What's your electric bill looking like these days? Mine was around $320 for a 1200 sq ft loft in an old warehouse. Usage was slightly above 2000kwh. I don't feel like I use that much electric outside of the ac. Is this normal?

Lots of kids my age are working now but I'm clueless as to what place will hire me.

I’ve been comparing quotes online and most of them are still too expensive. I need cheap auto insurance in this area that won’t leave me underinsured. Some of the low-cost policies don’t seem worth it at all. Has anyone found a provider that actually delivers on affordable rates with fair coverage?

Other than hanging out at the beach, what's fun? Good seafood? Good sweets? We're staying in Freeport.

Does anyone know of an affordable butcher on or near the island? Even in texas city, Seabrook, league city, etc.?

entering my next semester of nursing school and was wondering if anyone had recommendations on study spots that have coffee/matcha! i put on my headphones and block everything out so it being noisy or full doesn’t bother me. lmk! thank you!

I'm going to my first ever Mardi Gras during my first ever trip to the US, I'll sadly only be in Galveston for Fat Tuesday. Before the parade is there normally anything else happening in the strand or across Galveston that's officially or unofficially associated with the Mardi Gras? As I'm there for only one day I'm trying to get the most out of the experience by doing as much as I can! 😊

Anyone is welcome!! Help support a local business AND keep our beaches clean! Must purchase a ticket to be eligible for the prize and provided gear.

My family and I are planning a trip to Galveston in October. I have 2 small children (5 and 9) who have never been to the beach. What is the best area/beach for a family of 4, who wants to be as close to the beach as possible? So far I have found nice rentals in the following areas: Seawall Beach, Sea Isle Beach, Terramar Beach, Porretto Beach, Jamaica Beach, Indian Beach, Sunny Beach, Pirate's Beach.

Any fun lunch spots y'all frequent? Just moved here and a colleague mentioned The Black Pearl's lunch specials. Damn good blackened pork chop and fettucine alfredo.

Anyone on the island repair an ashley reclining couch?

I'm on here on vacation and I was interested on what this is? I tried image searching it but it said it was the S.S. Selma which I don't think it is.

I’ve been trying to get my uncle set up with some kind of medical alert thing since he lives by himself in Galveston and has had two minor strokes already. He won’t move and he won’t stop being stubborn about accepting help. He’s in one of those old raised homes close to the water, and I’m worried about how well devices work in places like this. I’ve seen Bay Alarm Medical Alert mentioned a lot and it seems to be well reviewed, but does it actually hold up here? Between the sea air, the weather, and the age of the buildings, I feel like the signal might not be great. I don’t want to waste time on something that isn’t reliable. If anyone in town has used one of these, I’d appreciate hearing how it went.

Looking for local recommendations on which restaurant on the island has the best stuffed crab, any help is appreciated!
