e-mail me if you really want to discuss reasons to move to corpus (roperjoe@yahoo.com). I can give you some real insight about living here. Good, and bad.
I had a high school teacher who told us that when we came back from college, that we would realize that "Corpus isn't the end of the world, but you can see it from here." That was, of course, because we grew up there.
Relatively small city, witha big city feel. It has most of what you need there. It's a 4 hour drive from Aggieland, 1.5 hours to SA. You got beaches and numerous places downtown named after Selena. It's a decent city, it just depends on what's important to you.
