Not from the bluff, born in corpus in 70. Spent a lot of time out there in highschool trying to not get caught. Love the stories guys. If one of you put together a book or just a bunch of short stories I'd buy it in a heart beat. Take care.
later, biggreen |

Got some! I'll just have to dig 'em up and then figure out how to post 'em. Stay tuned....
By the way, anyone remember "Great Granny's" bait stand. Only one I remember that was out in the middle of nowhere and you put your motor up and poled the boat to her shack.
Sat out on the spoil bank where the channel from Pita meets the IC. Old marker 24??
Nice lady ran it (and she was a Great Granny back in the 60's) Don't supposed she's around anymore, but I bet she's smiling down on us for rememberng her |

Ed's was my first job in high school. His wife was running the place after he died. She was always sitting behind the counter smoking menthols and drinking diet Dr. Pepper. Bought and rigged up many of those bamboo rods as well as the thick fiberglass boat rods that I still have. (Wooden handles and stainless steel reel seats. What would those cost today?)
We had a crazy old guy working with us, Bill something or other. He always had a gun on his hip. Fired a round thru the roof once during a dispute with a customer.
Fresh shrimp off the boat was a dollar a pound and we sold block and crushed ice. (Which we had to crush by hand) There was a Burger Chef next door.

That's what I was thinking. They did give this site credit saying it was posted on the message board.

Well TT...with that credit and $4.00 you could get a gallon of gas and split it with floorguru. 
We would launch in the surf go out to the Chevron rigs and fish for red snapper....Ed's fish market would always buy them from us heads guts and all.

we never got to the coast very often, but I bet Capt Mike remembers when the men would get beer(returnable bottles) orange, grape, Dr Pepper and Cokes for the kids(also returnable bottles) and put all this into a metal ice chests and then dump fresh crushed ice all over them.
they'd build mesquite fires and BBQ while our moms made potao salad and drank gin and rum.
all the dads wore short-brim straw hats and all the moms had on pedal-pusher slacks and sleeveless blouses.
us kids were mostly nekkid except for little shorts.
good days.

Man you put tears in my eyes  .....But don't for get the hand-crank
ice cream makers. I would always have to sit on it while my dad turned the crank and the ice and salt would stick to my shorts.....

I thought we still did that kinda stuff.  except we don't have Grapett soda bottles or Shasta in a can nor do we have the metal coolers they rusted away years ago. But i'd like to think we still have the same family values. The potato salad may come from HEB unless you are eating at my house,its the real deal there. Theres still alot of good out there, It shows up all the time like in Clems's parking lot yesterday. Just folks getting along the way it should be.
