Historic Victoria Texas

Mark Jefferson — Fri, 27 Mar 2015 22:09:35 +0000

30 miles from the Gulf Of Mexico, Victoria Texas is known as “The Crossroads” because of it’s strategic location between Corpus Christi, Houston, San Antonio and Austin. With a population of over 80,000 Victoria is in the Texas High Country in the area called the “The Golden Crescent”. Its position between the ocean and the grassy prairies was a strong draw for Native American tribes such as the Jaraname, Toncahua, Carancahua, Lipan, and Comanche. From the 17th through 19th centuries Victoria was occupied by the French then the Spaniards. Eventually it became Mexican property after the Mexican revolution and was a key part of Mexico’s attempt to colonize Texas. The city was named after General Guadalupe Victoria, the first post revolutionary president of Mexico. Following Texas’ independence from Mexico the city began to flourish and eventually the city of Victoria was officially founded as the county seat of Victoria County.

The Victoria economy was largely agrarian through the 19th century. Crops such as rice, corn and wheat were grown in great quantities. Cattle ranching was another major part of the economy. Early on the main non-agricultural business was brick making. Everything changed in the 1930′s with the discovery of oil. During the depression growth slowed, but quickly resumed during the Second World War due to demand for oil and the placement of several military bases nearby.

Today Victoria is a vibrant modern community that maintains its connection with it’s past. Victoria has several museums and many restored historic buildings. One of the most popular is the Museum Of The Coastal Bend which features exhibits on regional history. The 1892 Victoria Courthouse is considered one the best examples of Texas Gothic architecture. There are plenty of outdoor activities as well including fishing, kayaking and horseback riding. Another popular attraction is The Texas Zoo a 5 1/2 acre facility focusing on Texas wildlife.

Victoria continues to grow. if your future is in this historic city call your friends at All My Sons Moving & Storage and we’ll help you get to “The Crossroads Of The Golden Crescent”.

Corpus Christi Teen Moving Home After Heart Operation

Will Cosey — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 17:03:48 +0000

Two Corpus Christi residents are about to have the most stress-free moving experience either of them have ever had. In January of last year, Corpus Christie teen, Taylor Berry, moved to Houston with his mother into an apartment near the Texas Children’s Hospital where the young boy awaited the arrival of his much-needed donor heart. When Taylor was a four-year-old, he received his first heart transplant. Complications made his first operation a difficult experience both for him and his family; however, his condition eventually stabilized, and Taylor lived a pretty normal life for about ten years until his donor heart failed requiring a second transplant. Taylor and his mother, Tamara, moved to Houston away from Taylor’s father and sister where Taylor waited for his new heart which he received in mid-July. Now that doctors have approved Taylor’s return to Corpus Christi, he and his mom are packing boxes and bins in preparation for their much anticipated move back to Corpus!

The Corpus Christi Police have recently acquired some high-quality video production equipment, and the intended results are presumed to benefit both the department and Corpus Christi locals alike! Corpus Christi PD, using seized drug money, has purchased video equipment which they are currently using to film and edit both training videos and demonstration videos. Training videos will provide a standardized curriculum for new officer education, and will also enable officers who would otherwise be on the job training new cadets to be on the job serving and protecting Corpus Christi.

Grocery Shopping: How Do You Do it?

Will Cosey — Mon, 25 Apr 2011 21:39:42 +0000

What is your technique when it comes to shopping for groceries? Many families lead such busy lives that when it comes time to restock the fridge and pantry, they go on a grab-and-go spree at the local super market! Grab-and-go quickness is a great method for moving in Corpus Christi, but not so much for grocery shopping; you should have a plan when you go to the grocery store so that each purchase is a smart purchase! Never go to the store without a list!

One technique that works really well for grocery shopping starts at home. It is easy to make food purchases based on nothing more than impulse, which can end up costing you a lot of money over time. How many times have you grabbed something off the shelf that never ends up leaving your fridge or pantry until it is time to be thrown out? To be sure that every food purchase has a purpose that will be carried out at home, consider shopping based on a menu! Make a menu of recipes that are frequently prepared at your home, and always keep the necessary ingredients in-stock in your kitchen. With the proper ingredients to prepare all of your family’s favorite dishes on hand, you can even cook dinner based on the majority preference each night, or designate a delicious meal for each night of the week. Efficiency in your grocery shopping means that no item will be wasted -and no money wasted either!

Decorating Tips from your Corpus Christi Mover

Will Cosey — Fri, 08 Apr 2011 18:34:07 +0000

When you move to a new place, your first steps after moving furniture in are likely to be decorating and personalizing your new home. Hanging up pictures paintings and other wall décor is common, and will probably grace your to-do list. Hanging up each frame can be a difficult task, especially if you have quite a bit of art to hang on the wall; making sure each piece is level on top of properly spaced from the next can make you grow impatient. Your Corpus Christi mover happened upon a helpful tip which should make the task rather simple though! All that you need to do to get it right the first time is take a little time to trace each picture frame you intend to hang on a piece of paper and cut it out. On the top of each piece of paper, measure a halfway point and mark it with a pen. Arrange the papers on the wall so that everything looks the way you want your actual frames to look, and use the marks on the papers as your guide to know where to place each nail. You avoid having to re-do botched nail hammerings, and can have an easy time deciding the most optimal placing of pictures according to your preference!
