Boyds Untethered #37


I think I would have to say that Fall was my favorite season when we lived in Colorado. There always seemed to be a clear crispness to the air that was particularly nice… even though it meant that winter was in the way.

I was thinking that we might be giving up “fall” when we moved south… and most probably would be giving up “fall as the best season”.

But it turns out I was wrong. 

Here is proof that we do get a changing of the colors here. 

And the September, October weather has been quite nice. A little bit cooler, a little less humid and the very occasional thunderstorm with torrential rain to spice things up a bit.

When the Galveston City Company laid out the city in 1838, it was done in a grid-like fashion, where all of the streets that ran north to south were assigned a number with 21st street being labeled as the "center" of the city and thus, it was also called Centre Street. North to south streets east of 21st decreased in their numbered assignment as one traveled east and increased in their numbered assignment as one traveled west.  When the Sandusky map of Galveston was drawn in 1845, the city stopped at 7th Street to the east and 57th Street to the west. Some of these names evolved, too, as 21st/ Centre street did, most notable 25th Street, also known as Bath Avenue (because it led to the bathhouses along the beach, and today it's Rosenberg, in honor of Henry Rosenberg) and 23rd Street, known as Tremont because of the original and second incarnation of the Tremont Hotel, both of which fronted 23rd Street. Contemporary re-branding of 21st, 22nd, and 24th Streets honor three l...

There aren’t many things about Galveston that we don’t like. We have the beachfront lifestyle we were looking for in a city big enough to have all we need. But at the same time we have a small town feel. If I did have a complaint it would be about the sunsets. The quality is fine but the beach is on the wrong side (east) of the island to get great ones, daily.

But all that being said, this one’s not too bad.... so maybe more after dinner beach time is in order as the warm weather comes.
