A big part of Corpus Christi for us commoners... other than the location of beaches - along the coastline our area is part of the longest undeveloped land barrier in the world; --its leisure attractions are mainly surfing, sailing, and deep sea fishing. Also a big part of this area is marine biology and natural resources in the Gulf. Corpus Christi is the 5th largest port-of-call in the nation, also situated within the city boundaries are the naval flight training base, and the state-wide Texas A&M University Branch...but, downtown, the big part would be Shoreline Drive. So much of the cultural goings-on exist here. Museums, Art & Science, live theaters, auditoriums, fountains and bronze sculptures that line the grassy knoll separating the divided street, our federal court building and more...the boulevard-like roadway is lined with eclectic structures such as hotels, banks, restaurants, yacht clubs, the marina and much more. Also, as you walk or drive the parkway, there is most always a good view of the historic 'broadway bluff' to the northwest for the most part. To conclude our walk on the Sunday past, this is what else I share with you. From resident birds, restaurants, reflections of the marina, to a church tower in the distance as I zoomed in through the fog seen from below looking toward the bluff/hill. By the way, the bluff is probably the highest point in the city, which, according to government geological records, the city's elevation is 27 feet above sea level -- but...according to this web site, the bluff probably is the highest area situated at approximately 40 feet above sea level. Hmmmm.

If you missed 'em...here is Part II and Part I
