Downtown Low Down
Hey, Downtowners!

Hurricane Hanna made it's way through the Coastal Bend Saturday evening causing businesses and residents to hunker down and brace for landfall. Fortunately, most of our beloved downtown only suffered minor damage from wind, rain and storm surge. We all feared for our businesses upon seeing photos of high waters, strong waves and intense winds littering our social media feeds and news channels. Bright and early Sunday morning, our Clean Team, employees and volunteers of favorite establishments began chipping in to clean up. It was truly remarkable to see our downtowners coming together to support one another during tough times. 

House of Rock celebrated their 15th Anniversary this week with the help of El Dusty, some socially distanced curbside festivities, and some of the best vibes in town. If you didn't make it to their Curbside Quinceanera, make sure you stop by soon to help them celebrate!

Our latest #MuralMonday features "Better Together" by Alex Gillis. It reminds us that we can get through anything as long as we stand together and help one another. Check out what Alex had to say about art in Downtown Corpus Christi here!

Last, but certainly not least, let us know what you've checked off your #SummerInTheCityCC Bucket List this week. If you need some inspiration, follow our favorite collaborator @ccbucketlist! We've even got a little surprised cooked up for you all this weekend on our social media channels!

We hope everyone has a great weekend!

Art Museum Update:

Many of you probably saw the photos of the storm surge on Saturday afternoon lapping up and threatening damage to the Art Museum of South Texas. Miraculously, the museum only suffered minor damage and none of the permanent collection was harmed. With the help of many including staff, the city manager, and board trustees, the museum was able to open with regular hours on Tuesday. For a full statement, click the link below.
