my friend with a gsl-se lives there, hates it, come move to tyler tx, its a great little place. not too far from dallas or anything.... cost of living is cheap, jobs pay well and its a fairly wealthy little town.

a decent rx7 community and a good overall car scene full ofr fast cars.

 

I dont have a choice where I live, my new job maybe down that way. I have gotten a lot of mixed comments all around..

Anything else from anyone?

im not really interested in the car scene, just what is there to do etc....

 

you going to corpus christi? what did you want to know exactly?

its halfway beentween houston and mexico on the gulf coast.

the texas aquarium is about 15-30mins north of the main city.

there is a us aircraft carrier next to the museum you can tour.

has small litlte malls.

its an small town, but cleaner than san antonio.

you can go fishing, the beaches are decent, slightly tinted due to the low rise gulf of mexico... better than japan, but if you go south 3 hours they are crystal clear and can do diving or other beach activities.

 

courpus isnt too bad. cant forget about the powerful selena statue and the nina, pinta and santa maria!!

 

I have an interview for a job down that way.

My wife is asking about shopping.

Me im just asking in general, cost of living?

thanks guys

The cost of living in Corpus is about half of what it would be in the trendy north San Francisco Bay area. $500,000 will get you into a very nice 4,500 sq. ft. house with a pool and most importantly a three car garage.

The Porsche club has a very active chapter, I have travel down there to some of their events when it's not too hot.

Keep in mind that you are only a couple of hours from Houston or San Antonio so your wife can always make a weekend trip and spend lots of money.

As far as Corpus being cleaner than San Antonio I don't think so. Corpus has an ever expanding refinery and chemical processing industry. My guess is that if it weren't for the prevailing gulf winds the air be pretty bad.

 

thanks guys...

I did my phone interview and it went good I think...

I hope I can get over there, it will help out my career a lot.

 

I live in Corpus. Shoot me a PM if you want some more info.

Thanks man, I will take you up on that for sure. I was already looking at buying a house down there, but no job offer has made it yet. Its the government so it takes a little time, im being optamistic (spelling)...

 

I totally understand man. I'm active duty Navy down here for at least 1 more year.
