r/CorpusChristi

Hi,
we’re four guys, and we’ve put together Westminster’s restaurant scene in an app called Vota. The concept is simple: you see two places side by side (for example Famille vs. Kachina Southwestern Grill), you choose the place you’d rather go to, and the ranking updates instantly. The more people vote, the more accurate the list gets over time. There are still a few duplicates here and there, but I’m continuously cleaning up the data.

Here’s the iPhone version, with categories that actually fit Westminster’s food scene:

And here’s the Android version (finally live):

P.S. I’m not from Westminster (I live in Gothenburg). I’m not collecting data, not selling anything, and the app does not use AI-generated content. I’m posting in a few different subreddits because we now support more regions, and I genuinely want honest feedback from people who actually know the area.

I would like, for everyone to go look at the registered sex offender maps. And one thing that you will notice, if you haven’t already, all of these people try to group around schools and be as close as they can to public parks. Texas law protects the inside of our schools, but it leaves our city parks wide open. Cities like Cleburne and others have successfully pushed their local ordinance boundaries out to 2,000 feet. I would love if residence of Corpus Christi, would come to the City Council meetings and demand the council double our buffer zone to 2,000 feet to push high-risk offenders entirely away from neighborhood parks, playgrounds, schools anywhere there is a Child Safety Zone. This will not apply to offenders already next to them, but I feel like we should start making it more of a priority to protect our kids. And let these people know, that we are watching and know what they are doing. Our kids should be able to go to parks without worrying about weirdos, our kids should be able to walk down the sidewalk without thinking they might get snatched up. I really want everyone to realize, how much we keep our kids from doing the things they want to do, and how much fun things we have to take away from them because there is straight weirdos. We need to start making it a priority to stop the weirdos, instead of stopping our kids from having fun and doing what they want to do. And I want y’all to know they are lurking, they’re watching post to. All the residents of Corpus Christi, should be letting these weirdos know that we are done with this. And we are honestly done just letting the law handle this stuff because nothing gets done that way, they just get let them right back out.

Channel 3 beach cam.

Photographed is the backyard of a house in my neighborhood in Corpus Christi. As you can see, the two dogs, a brown dachshund and a blonde lab, are chained to the garage structure, mostly confined to concrete areas. The two dogs are never let off the bindings. This is how they live with minimal care given, at best, and never let to roam the yard. Whining is often heard. There are a lot of cases like this in Corpus, but this one I can possibly do something about.

The neighbors and I have called repeatedly for a week to have this sad situation addressed. We have called the city and have begun calling the police. Nothing has changed despite the, as I understand it, illegality of the situation. We have encouraged them to come and speak with us so we can show the officers what is happening. No one has contacted us.

I would like to see these dogs taken from this hellhole of a house and put up for adoption to at least have a chance at a decent life. Furthermore, these people should be heavily fined and barred from owning a pet of any kind. If these points cannot be achieved, I would rather see these dogs put down and in peace than living like this. A sad reality.

If you live in Corpus and care to help, please message me and I will provide the address, details, and instructions so you can call the city to add your voice to this case.

Was quite a show!

The Sea Nettle Jellyfish is normally found in the open Atlantic ocean but a few are showing up here according to the Harte Research Institute. Keep a jug of white vinegar in your vehicle when you go to the beach just in case you run across one of these guys.

For everyone who doesn’t know, we have one of the biggest AI data centers coming right outside city limits with the parking lot still in Corpus Christi. Peter Zanoni the city manager already came out and said, that they're going to be getting 10,000 gallons of water per day from Corpus Christi for the bathrooms. It's not for the bathrooms, it's for when they have to flush that system out and put new water into it. For some reason, people think that that water just stays there and doesn't evaporate at some point or turn into the sludge from all the chemicals. And they have to use so much more electricity for the closed loop cooling system, and they have too consume millions of gallons of water at the power plant, to put the electricity out to the data center. The facility needs 1 gigawatt of electricity, which is about the equivalent of one million homes plugging into the power grid all at once. It is definitely going to raise rates on electricity it doesn't matter if they pay their full bills. That is an insane amount of electricity that needs to be used and it is going to raise the rates on electricity for residents of Corpus Christi, and all surrounding areas. Oh and I hope we haven’t forgotten about the crypto mining data facility already here in Corpus Christi. That was using way more water, than it was supposed to be using and probably still is. The city tried to keep that for resident why trust them on any of this.
