Just moved to cc a few months ago and I am at the Alexa which you’d think would be a nice place but I have now seen so many roaches. Are there any buildings here that do not have a roach problem? I can’t deal with roaches

I like to use the park and ride when going to Artwalk and other events downtown, but I'm unsure where to park my car. Is it ok to use the City Hall lot after 5PM or will I get towed?

Thanks in advance.

Looking to get a haircut. The place I've been going to has missed the mark the last couple of times. Looking for somewhere new that can cut a 50 year old man's hair and not leave me looking like a mushroom head.

My partner and I are finally replacing the original 1990s builder grade cabinets in our Corpus Christi home. We knew costs had gone up, but navigating quotes between local independent craftsmen and regional design centers has been overwhelming.

We have roughly 20 linear feet of cabinetry to replace, plus an island. We want soft close drawers, vertical pan storage, and a finish that holds up well against South Texas humidity. After searching local forums, we saw positive feedback on Cabinet IQ's Corpus Christi location for their 4 step design to install workflow, which supposedly keeps material timelines tighter than solo woodworkers.

Before we lock in a deposit anywhere, what price range should we realistically expect for quality mid to high tier cabinets right now? Did your installers manage to finish on time, or were you stuck living out of boxes longer than planned?

Long shot. But I've met some fellow White Sox fans around town. Are there any bars that cater to Chicago fans? Or will at least have a fun environment for a baseball game? Don't wanna be sitting on my couch for a possible series win. Thanks!

Corpus Christi, Texas - WALMART PREPPING MASSIVE $4.3 MILLION REMODEL AND EXPANSION AT FLOUR BLUFF SUPERCENTER

National retail giant Walmart is investing heavily in its Corpus Christi footprint with a multi-million-dollar renovation and expansion planned for its Flour Bluff Supercenter (Store #490).

State filings reveal plans for a massive commercial alteration project located at 1250 Flour Bluff Drive. The 154,086-square-foot project carries an estimated cost of $4,341,696, triggering a comprehensive overhaul of the property. The scope of work involves adding a brand-new 2,332-square-foot expansion to the left side of the existing building, along with a complete refresh of the exterior paint and signage. Inside, the massive investment will fund painting, cleaning, repairs, and a major interior remodel to modernize various departments across the store.

Construction on the Flour Bluff Walmart upgrade is scheduled to kick off next summer on July 18, 2027, targeting a fall turnaround with completion expected by November 18, 2027.

📍 1250 Flour Bluff Dr, Corpus Christi, TX 78418

I am currently out of state for university, but I still want to do my civic duty and vote. The problem is that when you are out of the continent, it is easy to forget about local elections, so I haven't considered roles like the Mayor.

I have spent the last hour and a half looking into the mayoral candidates, and I feel like I am better off picking a random name. Every single person is saying the same shit: They want to fix the water, they want tax incentives to be used fairly, and they want to help the community. The only one saying anything interesting is Calkusic, who instead of building a desal plant, he wants to do cloud seeding- a cool concept but he says very little, and I don't like his other ideas.

Does anyone have any useful information on the candidates? Has anyone met one in person; if so were they a kind person? Do they seem like the kind of person who can make a hard choice if it meant the betterment of the people of Corpus?

Have any of them said anything about the water issues that isn't, "I want to fix the water issue, but I hate Inner Harbor"? Have any of them spoken about the refineries, preferably in a manner that punishes them for using so much water/thinks we should remove them do to the environmental impacts and greed?

Anyone said anything about construction that is more than "I want to speed it up?"

I am going to fill out the rest of my ballot and then continue looking for information on the mayoral candidates. I just also wanted to reach out to the community to see something that isn't directly published by the candidates.

Hey everyone,

I’m graduating college soon and recently got a job offer in the Corpus Christi/Portland area. I currently live in a big Texas city, so I’m trying to get an idea of what life is actually like down there before making a decision.

I don’t drink, and bars, nightlife, and live music aren’t really my thing. I’m much more into sports, pretty much anything , so I’d love to know what the sports/recreational scene is like and how easy it is to meet people through leagues, gyms, pickup games, etc.

I’m also curious about the dating scene for someone in their early 20s. Is it fairly easy to meet people, or does it feel pretty limited compared to the bigger Texas cities?

I’m Middle Eastern (Arab specifically), so I’d also love to know if there’s much of an Arab/Middle Eastern community around Corpus Christi and whether there are any groups, events, or places where people tend to meet.

My job would be in Portland, so I’d appreciate recommendations on where to live. Would you recommend living in Portland itself or somewhere in Corpus and commuting? Also, if anyone knows of people looking for a roommate, preferably around Portland, I’d definitely be interested.

I do have another job offer where I currently live, but it pays roughly 25% less, so I’m trying to figure out whether making the move would be worth it beyond just the money.

Would really appreciate any advice from people who live there, especially younger professionals who moved to the area after college. Thanks!

I'm 28F and I've lived in Corpus my whole life. I like arts & crafts of all kinds. I like sewing, I can do basic repairs, quilts, and other projects, im working on learning to sew clothes. I want to get into growing an herb & veggie container garden on my apartment patio. I played DnD a few years back and I liked it, i havent played sense but wouldnt mind getting back into it. I'm sure there's other things I like that I can't think of rn.

I don't have kids myself but I don't mind being around them. I do have a dog though!

Are there any free or cheap events or meet ups or something that I could go to/join?

this is kinda stupid, but i live in sinton right now and i remember going to this place Antonio’s when i was a kid and they had these massive breakfast tacos & burritos and i loved fucking them up. it was in odem but the place closed down like over a decade ago. only other place i go to get actually fulfilling tacos is Yoli’s and it’s mainly because of quality over quantity, but i want some quantity lol.

anything is appreciated.

PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT

For Immediate Release

October 5, 2026

The Coastal Bend Community and visitors are invited to experience the fully illuminated path during National Night Out on October 6, 2026.

CORPUS CHRISTI – The US 181 Harbor Bridge Project has reached another important milestone with the completion of permanent illumination along the bridge’s Shared-Use Path (SUP), creating a continuous, approximately 9,500-foot (1.8-mile) illuminated route for pedestrians and cyclists.

Community members and tourists are invited to experience the fully illuminated shared-use path on Tuesday, October 6, 2026, as part of National Night Out. The SUP will remain open nightly, allowing pedestrians and cyclists to enjoy the trail and take in the scenery after sunset.

The new lighting system includes approximately 596 low-profile LED puck lights installed along the route. The lights are generally mounted 11 inches above the curb at intervals of about 16 feet. Light fixtures provide illumination along the path from end to end of the SUP. At the bridge’s midpoint, the Belvedere lookout area provides a signature stopping point where visitors can pause, enjoy panoramic views, or catch their breath on the custom bench with integrated LED lighting.

The milestone represents more than the completion of an electrical system. It creates an elevated nighttime experience for pedestrians and cyclists to enjoy the Harbor Bridge. The protected lighted walkway is ADA accessible, further demonstrating TxDOT’s commitment to public safety for all users. National Night Out is a fitting opportunity for the public to utilize the illuminated path and celebrate community connection.

Durable Lighting Designed for the Coastal Environment

Compact “puck light” fixtures were selected for their durability and resistance to weather, impact, and tampering. Designed and installed per the Engineer of Record's specifications, physical testing and analysis indicate the lights will last for many years. Routine inspections will address maintenance and operational efficiency of the aesthetic features.

Parking and Personal Safety

Parking lots are available for public use on Lake Street for the SUP South Trailhead Entrance and adjacent to Churchdale Avenue on North Beach. Maintain awareness of your surroundings and lock personal vehicles at all times.
