So... You want to know about the city I live in? Well.... Most of those things in that Top Ten List above is pretty true. I filched it from About.com's site about Corpus.

Now, I'm not saying Corpus is bad, per say... I just think it could definitely be better. The main thing? We hardly ever get *really* good movies. I mean, honestly! How many screens *really* need to show one movie? Anyway, the music scene here really isn't all that hot (though there really are some great bands around here) and forget about attracting alot of artists here (though we did manage to snag SR-71, Stroke9, and Splender here this past summer).

Okay, so there is at least one good thing about living in Corpus.....
The Bayfront.
Now I don't recommend going into the water, but what I do recommend is this... Go driving down Ocean Dr. in the afternoon, on a clear day, going from one end of it to the other. It's gorgeous! I do that alot when I need to think. It's really very relaxing.
This is a photo I took of the Bayfront one morning.

So, bear in mind that most of the ranting I've done comes from someone who's lived here for, oh, 20 going on 21 years. Anyone that was born here, basically, and has lived more than 20 years here wants outta here.
