Shame on Paul Burka. Again. I've already felt disgust for him since his first article in Texas Monthly back in November 2008. You can read my response here. His newest article is no better. Perhaps worse. The man is a BOI. But he acts like he's allergic to the Island. Or his vision is constantly blurred when he travels back to his hometown.
In my opinion (take it what it's worth), Paul Burka is wrong in his depiction of Galveston in its current state post-Ike. His examples of a lackluster economy don't seem to be quite accurate. In fact, I know Islanders who are doing quite well in their business ventures. Even if the Strand is desolate (that's according to Paul Burka). All in all it just puts a really filthy taste in my mouth to read his article. I don't like Paul Burka. Read the article for yourselves and let us know what you think.
