Towers Fall and Creole Rocks

We made a whirlwind trip over to South Padre Island to check out some properties.
In 2006, construction on a beautiful, 31 story condominium tower began at the northern end of the developed area of South Padre Island.
Unfortunately, the structure took on a nickname of “[2] The Leaning Tower of Padre” as one side began to sink into the sand. In December, 2009, the building was[3] imploded. This is all that is left…….
While on the island, we stopped for lunch at [4] Daddy’s Seafood and Creole Kitchen, 3409 Padre Blvd., and were not disappointed.

I know that you’re supposed to eat seafood at the beach, but Rick had a ribeye with a Cajun seafood cheese sauce on top. It was outstanding. Tinka stayed with the seafood fare and enjoyed a sampling of various shrimp dishes.
There are a number of good restaurants on the island. This is one of the best.
