couldbetrue "Jerry Patterson said Thursday in a Coastal Coordination Council Meeting that the General Land Office has requested additional information on how the city planned to provide access to disabled people and how the public in general would access the south jetty of Packery Channel."

That is something for us to work with.

Now, right now we (each of us) must get ten people to call Jerry Patterson (and the candidates who will be affected by our ENGAGEMENT). If he is a smart man he will quash our ALL AMERICAN CITY COUNSELLED OUT SELF DEALERS. Send your land commisioner an email followed by a letter.

There is an Open Beaches Act we have to work with as well.

We also have the case law precedent that will incrementally allow the other condos to close more of our open beach over time.

Lonestar The GLO has received overwelming public response opposing this closure because the majority does not want it. The law is on the side of the opposition.

Secondvet Check out what the Cameron County Commissioner''s Court has done! Leased Isla Blanca Park to a Federally convicted kidnapping felon to develop a hotel/casino complex where the public now has a parking lot.
Your City Commissioners are no different. The have lost all sense of propriety and history of our area and are selling it away bit by bit.

It was the early 80's. Historically the Surfers hung out by Bob Hall Pier. The Fishermen and the Surfers were at odds. The waves created in proximity to the pier were cleaner thus better for surfing. The Surfers would routinely "shoot the pier" and take their boards and jump off of the end instead of the long paddle out. Hence the JP Luby Surf Park & Pier was created.

To hang out at the Condos was discouraged by the condo elite. Well on the Sea Wall we could skateboard as the steel wheels became replaced with urethane wheels like Kryptonic, Bones, Gyros and the boards and truck technology as well.

We started to hang out on the Seawall. We were not llowed to park in the parking lots so we had to park in the street and lug our ice chests, boards, towels and stuff around the Holiday Inn cuz they would not let us through to the seawall. The visitors and tourists began to interact with us and we made many friends. Still we had to walk around.

Some of us took our dogs. My dog would pull me on my skateboard up and down the wall. He pulled many others as well. He loved it. The Condos would not even allow me to get water for my dog one day when I ran out.

This became the place for all as Spring Break '84 and John Trice should remember. Do you remember the Skateboard Ramp and Contest. The Bikini Contest and all the hoopla?
