A few things Ike took away

The Stingaree restaurant in Crystal Beach. The best seafood on Bolivar Peninsula. It's gone. UPDATE: Terry Turney was there and said it's still there, just heavily damaged.

Rollover Pass, aka "the cut," a popular fishing spot, is still there, but the bridge is damaged and the bait shop is gone. Terry and Linda's beachhouse. A birthday of mine in 2005.

The beachhouse and pickup in the miraculous Christmas snow of 2004.

This was one of our favorite spots along the Seawall. On a Sunday, we'd go down to Galveston and get some fresh seafood at Casey's or Fisherman's Wharf, and run by here for frozen pina coladas (the only time I drink them) and then head home. Something about the sound of the ocean and the briny air would clear our heads.

I believe this is the tail end of another gift shop below, which is next to this place. Where we were housed two gift shops. All the structures are gone, including the Balinese Room another few yards down.
