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 Students Hold Walk-a-Thon to Raise Money for Tech Equipment

Will Cosey — Thu, 10 May 2012 14:13:19 +0000

Roughly five hundred Corpus Christi Catholic School students held a walk-a-thon on May fourth, and raised over thirty thousand dollars! The fundraiser was geared to finance new technology equipment for the school. Students mailed pledge requests out to Corpus Christi residents rather than trekking door-to-door. Your Corpus area relocation specialist thinks that the mail method was a good way for the kids to conserve energy prior to the walk-a-thon! Thirty thousand dollars is a rather impressive grand total for the May Fourth event… ‘May the Fourth be with you’ indeed!

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!

Modern Day Moving

Where were you twenty years ago? What were you doing? What were you wearing?! For most people, the answers to questions such as these come accompanied by a blushing face. It can be embarrassing to remember how ridiculous we used to be years ago. Imagine how ridiculous we look and act now when compared to twenty years from today! To keep up with the pace of the times, we must constantly redefine the standard. Your local Corpus Christi movers are masters of modern technique when it comes to moving your property. You may think that there isn’t much that changes over the years in the moving industry, as do some less reputable moving companies. However; it doesn’t take too much observation to see what your professional Corpus Christi movers see.
As movers, we move your stuff. Stuff changes! Today’s high-dollar televisions show an excellent example of how products evolve over the years. New model TVs are far more compact, but nowhere near as durable as the televisions of yesteryear. The slightest of wrong moves can destroy a plasma television. Washers and dryers have also evolved over the years, and sometimes require locking pins to protect the suspension with which they are now equipped. Your Corpus area mover knows the proper techniques required to safely move your flat panel television, your new front load washer and dryer, and anything else you have because they pay attention to the times. Your local moving companies who fail to evolve with the times may no longer sport legwarmers and spandex, but they do still look ridiculous when on the job. And there is nothing funny about watching an old-fashioned mover struggle to move your modern belongings. So if you have new stuff, if you like your new stuff, and are hiring movers any time soon; remember how silly you looked in your parachute pants twenty years ago, and hire Corpus Christi movers who have moved on and moved up, as you have!

Moving a Student?

Will Cosey — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 22:12:35 +0000

Soon, universities all across the country will have thousands upon thousands of students moving into thir dorm houses or apartments nearby. Moving into a dorm room or an entire apartment can be quite a trouble. When it comes to college students, your move could be either long distance or a local move depending on where your student chooses to continue their education. However, taking the time to follow these simple How-to’s will make the job much easier.

How- To:

1. Plan! It’s hard to make something easy when you don’t plan ahead. Chart out your travel route, assign who will take what items where, move large items first, and

2. Make a detailed list of what you need to buy for the apartment. It’s hard to take a shower without a shower curtain. It’s even harder to enjoy a burger without ketchup. So be sure not to forget anything.

3. Take the time to organize and carefully pack items based on weight, content, and how fragile they can be.

4. Invite some friends to help you move. Everyone needs a helping hand, so get as many as you can.

5. Make a “Care Kit” to make the move easier for them. They may be moving away, but they still want to feel like part of the family.

Whether your move is a local move or a long distance move, All My Sons has the tools you’ll need to make it easy. We can offer you custom moving supplies at a low price, and if you don’t have enough help our experienced movers will make it effortless for you. Call your local office for a free quote today!
