Help me out with some info. The fam and I are going to be heading down there in a couple weeks and I need to know the "Do's and Do Not's" of the are!  Which areas to avoid and which is the best area to stay in!  Any help will be greatly appreciated. I just noticed this is my 7777th post! Thanks, BigDozer66 |

I have a place in Rockport, but when I stay in C.C. I stay at the Omni Hotel Bayfront (NOT THE MARINA) and I always make it a point to eat at Pier 99. Nothing more to say other than relax!!! The USS Lexington is always a hit for the kids and If you stay at the Omni your just a hop skip and a jump away from the Aquarium thingy. For the Donts... The only thing I would pass on is staying at a hotel that is on the same area as the USS Lexington. They all seem to be run down. Maybe one of the locals can tell you what this area is called. |
| That would be the "north beach area" They did finally get a new hotel over there that is pretty good looking the radisson came and made a hotel there but i do believe it is a bit over priced. What activities are y'all in to there are a few good activities you can get into. by the way i live in portland which is about ten miles from corpus across the causeway and tex rednec would be a good wealth of knowlege also he lives about twenty miles or so outta corpus. |

The Omni people "say" that the Marina property is more kid friendly. I just thought it was more run down. The Marina is a couple blocks away and faces the Marina area. The Deluxe Room With View shoud have you directly facing the bay and has the best view. I think they call all the basic rooms a deluxe...but some of these have views of the AC units for the hotel and a slice of the water!!! Maybe call and ask the hotel what rooms fit your requirements before booking. BTW I decide to book this hotel use the hotel and not any travel service like expedia. I tried it once. You end up getting the worse room available. |
i can think of 6 right offhand, none of which are anything to write home about no, wait, theres 7, what do you want me to get you?  as far as ranges................i can think of one and its membership only

| Try the SharpShooter indoor range. I believe it is located at the intersection of Staples and Airline. Turn south off of SPID to go in their direction and they will be stuck back in a corner of a strip shoping center. They have two or three bays and one of them is 35 yds long. I left Corpus in '99 so anything could have changed for the better or for the worse by now. The hotel that was recomemded is a nice one and stay away from the North Beach area hotels is you are looking for nice. |

the sharp shooter is by the intersection of holly and airline the CC gun club is by membership only I think and the starry gun range for 8$ A GUN IS out on Yorktown road.There is a gun shop out on leopord somewhere that is supposed to have ar's and full auto's.
