off topic but this is insane ever for Brownsville:
ReplyDelete"Further rate increases of 7 percent are scheduled to take effect each Oct. 1 through 2017, with the exception of 2016, when the approved rate increase is 8 percent." http://www.brownsvilleherald.com/news/local/article_88480378-a993-11e3-a5cf-0017a43b2370.html
At this level of increases the compounding will push PUB bills up about 30% over the time period (four years). Nobody will be able to pay this. Are you people crazy? The rates are already sky high on a national basis.
No "news" today, Jim?
ReplyDeletelittle miss smart alec,
DeleteMy pay is the same, whether I write a story or not.
South Padre is a thirty-four-mile-long barrier island a half hour’s drive from Brownsville, Texas. It is accessible only by a slender bridge, at the foot of which there are signs warning drivers to beware of low-flying pelicans. The northern end of the island is undeveloped, and consists of mesmerizing sculptural dunes. Farther south, dozens of large hotels and condominiums hulk along the oceanfront. The main drag, Padre Boulevard, is lined with single-story shops painted in primary colors which sell T-shirts and surfwear. A few years ago, the mayor of South Padre, Edmund K. Cyganiewicz, signed a local proclamation that made it an offense to wear a tie on the island.
ReplyDeleteThe year-round population of South Padre is a little more than two thousand, of which the majority are retirees; during March, however, a hundred and eighty-six thousand students pass through the resort. The biggest week of the year is Texas week, during which twelve thousand students, mostly from the state’s colleges, descend on the island. According to a study that was undertaken in 2000 by the Center for Tourism Research at the University of Texas-Pan American, the average South Padre spring breaker is a twenty-one-year-old male who spends about eight hundred dollars during a five-night stay, including two hundred and sixty-six dollars on accommodation, just over a hundred dollars on dining out, sixty dollars on groceries, and a hundred and forty dollars on “recreation.” (The study does not specify in which category alcohol purchases are included.) Spring breakers spent an estimated hundred and fifty-six million dollars in South Padre in 2000. The poorest students may not be able to afford spring break, but it is by no means an activity reserved for the Γ©lite—many of the students attend state schools and make spring break affordable by sleeping eight to a room and eating nothing but Hot Pockets for a week.
The heart of spring break in South Padre is the beachfront of the Radisson Hotel. Every afternoon, the yellow-brown sand fills with students and their detritus: the empty crushed cans of cheap Keystone beer; the condoms or deodorant sticks or bottles of Nair that are handed out as promotional gifts by sponsors; the orphaned beach towels half submerged in the drifting sand as if by ash from a volcano. During the spring-break season, Coca-Cola sets up a soundstage from which a d.j. plays bouncy rap music—Baha Men, Nelly—and on which daily wet-T-shirt contests are conducted. Gray ranks of portable toilets are set up near the waterfront, obscuring the view of the ocean.
No Coca Cola Beach this year, it has been moved to Port Aransas.
ReplyDeleteBut have no fear Clayton's will be open and has some good acts coming.
