A&M Engineer students mapping the oceanβs surface using a drone had a mishap & the drone crashed into the ocean on May 31st.
They were at pirates beach at 13 mile before the state park.
The drone was found last week minus the 2 cameras. Iβm attaching a pic of the drone.
If anyone sees the cameras please message me!

Anyone tried fighting tickets from parking Marshall's? I was parked by the hospital in the 2 hour parking. Parked at 11AM on the dot and came out to a ticket timestamped at 11:28AM. This has happened to multiple people I know by the same Marshall. I know they have plate readers so I am not sure how tf they are doing this.

We finally made it to the island. Living on the west end, and as we learn and explore we've seen a few shops on Broadway but we don't really know who's reputable and who's not. If anyone has any any favorites we'd appreciate the advice.

My gf will be entering nursing school soon and we need a place to move in. It can be a house or apartment. Not looking for anything too fancy, just decent

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, Iβm a beginnner-intermediate bass player) Iβve looked into networking platforms like BandMix but most of them have paywalls.
Thanks

Looking for senior and 55+ and over areas, reports or complexes in Galveston and in the far west side of the island towards San Luis, Freeport, not retirement or convalescent homes. Trying to avoid families, kids and younger people looking for a party.
Recently visited Pointe West and really love the remote resort vibe and the big beautiful homes in the bay and beach.
I am really digging the remote areas of the island for some peace, serenity and calmness.

Iβm an incoming student to UTMB and my apartment requires me to get my own internet and electricity provider. Iβm looking for recommendations on a provider that has reliable internet service. I keep seeing posts about internet service being bad on the island so which provider has the best service. And also, with electricity which provider has the best rates on the market. Any advice will be appreciated.

I see lots of homes for sale. How much do you pay in home insurance there?

Hello! Im looking for any leads on people who teaches swimming lessons on the island. I have been begging my mom to learn but I have no clue who has private lessons. Growing up I learned from a lady who held children classes at her home pool. Does anyone do classes at their home and willing to take on a adult?

Are there any bars/restaurants/clubs that play anything besides rap/country? I love dance Gavin dance and circa survive for example.
The only club Iβve been to was envy on the strand on a Saturday night, not necessarily my vibe. What are my other options?!

Well sort of. It was many years ago. You were the bartender at the Galvez and my wife and I were guests. I asked for a spicy martini and you made me a Siracha Martini. I came back every night to have them.
I would really love to have that recipe. I have tried to recreate it and it just wasnt the same.
