Flour Bluff

An economically depressed suburb of Corpus Christi, it's the last place before you cross the bridge to Padre Island, home of renowned Texas surfbreak; Bob Hall Pier, seedy hotels in which many area "surf stars" were conceived, multiple gas stations that still take checks while acting as stop-overs for the 4 x 4 driving "chimps" from wealthier suburbs and a feeling of disparity when you look in the eyes of local bumpkins, that whatever magic existed here....is gone the way of Sid Vicious...
