When I was a kid at Eastern Point, one day my best friend and I decided we would swim out to Black Rock. We waited until the beach was closed, and swam out there, got buzzed by terns, and swam back. And there was Steve Zbierski, and he banned us from the beach for two weeks! We had thought we wouldn't get in trouble since it was after hours, but he was watching out for us. Thumbs up if you remember Mr. Zbierski!

I lived there for almost 3 yrs in Groton in the Heritage , I hated it so glad Im back in Austin Tx. now. Plus the people especially the women are always rude morbidly Obese and talk funny.

[@Carolina-nn6ye]

Morbidly obese and talk funny is ALL you got in Texas. My brother lives in Corpus Christi, that's all him and his friends say.
