The "Tunnel" at Cole Park

There is supposedly a tunnel, running from Cole park to a house or houses on the other side of Ocean Drive.  We found the opening (which is bricked in), and it left me wondering what was behind the bricked in doorways.




















Abandoned Super Track Grand Prix

I've passed by this abandoned race track, every weekend for the past seven years, and finally got a chance to go take a look, after seeing a side gate open. After about 20 minutes, we walked to the back and saw the "No Tresspassing" sign posted by the Corpus Christi police, and figured it was time to leave.

I've heard stories, from some of the younger adults in the area, spending time here as kids and how much fun it was.  The track had bumper boats, putt-putt golf, a catapillar ride (which looks intact, but sort of sad) and of course, the go carts.  No one really knows why it closed.















Abandoned Rail Car

I saw this abandoned rail car, sitting by itself on a section of unused tracks on my daily commute to work across the bridge. We decided to take a last weekend.
