Finally a new Yoga studio on the west end

Been waiting forever it seems to see a studio open on the west side, the owner worked at Island Salt Air for a couple years and is now opening her own studio on November 4th. Kris is awesome and much loved by the people she works with..can't wait!

What Trades are hiring entry-level this time of year on the island?

Name recommendations would be great too. I asked an hvac company if they took on helpers but they said they probably won't until the spring. I have no problem with dirty work, lifting heavy things etc. Kind of looking for something like hvac that could turn into a technical career.

Jobs for college students

Are there any places that are hiring in the Galveston area that may be compatible with a college students schedule or that is actually hiring?

bachelorette party

Hi! I am currently planning to have my bachelorette party this summer in Galveston!How’s the night life there? Is there any places you can recommend? We’re wanting to go to plenty of bars/clubs. I do have one bridesmaid that will be 20 so it would have to be places that are 18+. Thanks!

Lost item! Please help me in my search!

Looking for some Reddit luck here… I’ve already posted in a few Facebook groups. I live ~50 miles away from Galveston and willing to meet + pick up or pay for shipping (in addition to cash reward) "Meatloaf" was a gift and has been my comfort object for nearly 10 years. I've taken him everywhere with me! It would mean everything to me to get him back safely. I've been in frequent contact with the hotel with no luck. Unsure what could've happened and its a long shot but I'm hoping this post reaches the right person. Last time seen was in our room. Kind comments only, please. I know it might seem like a long way to go for a stuffed animal, but it’s a mental health support for me.

Trick or treating

Is there a map of neighborhoods that are good for trick or treating? This is our first Halloween since moving to the island!

PSA Seawall Parking

I have an active yearly pass for seawall parking. I received 3 tickets in the mail for parking during September and October visits.

I contacted the municipal court and they are working with me to dismiss. Appearantly there is an issue with a new reader system not working with yearly passes.

Just wanted others to be aware.

Job suggestions

I’ve recently parted ways with my former employer and I’ll be looking for work. Any ideas would be appreciated. I have a pretty varied background, my résumé’s quite wild, but at this point I’ll take anything. I live on the east end so something around here would be great but at this point I’ll do whatever. Beats not getting a paycheck, know what I mean?

Suspect charged is Channel Yonko of the somewhat infamous Yonko family of Houston, who usually restrict their felonies to grift and other property crimes.

Rosenberg Elementary

I received a notice in the mail that the Rosenberg Elementary property is going to be put on the market for sale. Surveys were sent out asking what should happen to the use of the property. Did anyone else receive this?

High water

What's the explanation for such high water level and strong waves? I don't recall seeing the beach like that

The Experience

Went to this store on post office? today and it was very eclectic clothing that was refurbished in a way and homemade stuff. seemed cool but everything was $65-95 and claimed as redyed vintage but most had a “made in china” tag on it and not super great quality. also decorative belts for up to $60???? just wondering if anyone else has been here or knows more about it? don’t know if i’m just cheap and it’s actual real vintage and i’m crazy

Attractions in Galveston

Hello! My husband and I will be traveling to Galveston in the beginning of December for our honeymoon. I’m looking for recommendations on places to eat and things to do!

We know it will probably be too chilly for the beach (we are from Iowa so it’ll definitely be warmer than where we are). We for sure plan on the railroad museum and others but would like recommendations for a couple others we should definitely see! Thank you in advance!
