Galveston- New Year's Eve

I also posted these in SSC

Drove around the African Amercian neighborhoods New Year's eve...


The couple who opened this coffeehouse returned to Galveston from Los Angeles after 25 years, the local drug dealers tried to burn the place down TWICE




This building was interesting, it has some sort of artsy monument outside




















This neighborhood was once rows and rows of government housing projects, now it's a section 8/low income neighborhood







This guy has a local public access tv show called "Hood TV" :|


On to another neighborhood near downtown....



















New Year's Eve in Texas!
