Say good night, folks; Amazon has killed this site as a change of pace from killing retailers. Whether or not it even stays online henceforth is a good question. Miss Cellania didn't even get to say goodbye. :-(

An American Werewolf in London should have made this list.

True. There was apparently a delay of five months. From her grave info:
Her body was buried with the unknown dead, but five months later was identified by her father.

Yes, I suppose that it is looking south from Johnstown toward the Stone Bridge. Taken before the fire, obviously. And to think that there may have been 1000 or so people trapped in that, crying for help........
Regarding history, even one's own local history, my axiom is
"Few know, and many fewer even care."
I visit Galveston frequently and probably 99.9% of the residents there couldn't care less about the 1900 hurricane. Sad.

i'm glad you liked it, Mike. Too few appreciate this kind of thing these days, as they are usually too busy Keeping Up With the Kardashians or some such.
Have you seen the long shot of the debris field against the Stone Bridge? It didn't make the editorial cut but is truly impressive and easily worth 1000 words.

What happens if a really incredible post appears before 12 am next Monday, since the list for 2017 is now a done deal?

There certainly remains a considerable German influence in Galveston, New Braunfels, and of course, Fredericksburg, but mostly it is the German food that one notices today. Relatively few of the Germans survived the 1900 Galveston Hurricane and those in Fredericksburg didn't fare too well in the Indian Wars. More noticeable today is the Czech influence.
Here is info on two of the more prominent Galveston Germans:

More on their story can be found in Isaac's Storm.

My chili, aka Pray for Death, contains lots of onions, garlic, and tomatoes, as well as a host of other things not discussed in the article. Competition chili does NOT have beans except as served on the side, but when I make Wick Fowler's for plain satin' I put in beans.

Amazon killed the Neatoshop, which is how they had been staying afloat. And the site may just close; it's up to Alex.
