More often than not I find myself traveling through town and stumbling upon sites or places I've never been to, or noticed for that matter. It amazes me how many times this happens, even on my normal everyday trips down Postoffice and Church streets while driving my lady friend to and from work. Whether it's a house, a new tree carving, or a new street walker.
I know I can't be expected to canvas and know/recognize all the different parts of town, but I still enjoy pointing to something that I've probably passed by before and thinking "well wouldja look at that... where did that come from... how long has that been there?"
This mainly happens to me when I'm cruising through the neighborhoods. Historic districts mainly. A certain house will all of a sudden, for some reason un-be-knownst to me, jump out at me.
I also enjoy lazily going through parts of town that I don't frequent and stumbling on new finds that way. I love to drive through Cedar Lawn from time to time and crawl along its narrow winding roads. And even though I don't get out there much, I enjoy driving through the West End of the Island so I can appreciate the different way of life.
It just seems that of all the places I've lived in my life that Galveston maintains a quality of stay-a-bility.
Think about. Ever noticed something you've never noticed before?
One place that comes to mind is the unique residence that is far west Stewart Rd. (just before it turns south to meet 3005. It's right on the corner and is a compond of sorts. I've asked people about this and, once i got an informed response that beer has since erased. But next time you're headed west, take stewart and check it out.
