Tree art restores hope to recovering community
Hurricane Ike tore through Galveston Sept. 13, 2008, with a storm surge of 15 feet covering the island with petroleum laced salt water. Ultimately, the salt water from the storm’s surge left thousands of trees dead, including the 100-year-old live oaks that lined Broadway Boulevard.

Crawfish Carnivores Crawl to Crawfish Festival
Red, lifeless carapaces alongside empty beer bottles and clean-picked corncobs fill trash can after trash can as the faint smells of smokehouse mesquite and Cajun seasoning waft through the air. In the distance, the wails and passion of zydeco music cry their unique and pleasant sounds. It is that time of year again. The Texas Crawfish and Music Festival has arrived.
