Lone Star Flight Museum Proceeds with Plans to Move Inland

The Lone Star Flight Museum has been located in Galveston at Scholes Field,2002 Terminal Drive, since 1990. The museum has become home to a collection of historic aircraft from the World War II era. Some of those planes include a B-17 Flying Fortress, P-47 Thunderbolt, and an F-22 Raptor. Along with the static displays, guests can purchase a flight aboard its T-6 Texas, open-cockpit biplane PT-17 Stearman and T-41 Mescalero. Educational tours are also available for students of all ages.

But all of this came to a halt, in 2008,  when Hurricane Ike’s high winds and high water pummeled the Galveston coastline. Some of the aircraft were flown further inland, but the museum’s structure sustained damage and the storm surge brought in 6-8 feet of saltwater. Substantial damage was made to historical static displays, but major damage was made to the aircraft by the saltwater, the muck that came along with the storm surge, or by floating into walls.

The decision was made in 2011 when the Houston City Council approved a 40-year contract with the museum for 14 acres at Ellington Field, part of the Houston Airport System. Although the museum had become one of Galveston’s featured tourist attractions, the museum needed a location that would keep the historical displays/aircraft protected.

On November 9, 2015, the Lone Star Flight Museum broke ground on it’s new $35mil museum at Ellington Airport. The 130,000 square-foot location, located at 11551 Aerospace Avenue, will house the historical aircraft, the Texas Aviation Hall of Fame, a technology aviation learning center, and opportunities to purchase flights aboard several aircraft.

While local residents observe the development of the Houston Spaceport at Ellington Airport, the construction of the new museum will also be taking place. The museum is projected to be open by February 2017.

The City of League City Celebrates “100,000” During Community Celebration

League City Event Announcement ~ “The City of League City will mark a major milestone in the City’s history with a community celebration on Dec. 29, at 1:30 p.m., at Hometown Heroes Park.  The celebration will highlight the City reaching 100,000 in population and will also focus on the important role our citizens’ play in making League City the best place to live, work and play.

“It is important for us to preserve our history and our small-town feel even though we will shortly exceed 100,000 in population,” said City Manager Mark Rohr. “The celebration we are hosting pays tribute to our heritage and creates a community gathering area for us to celebrate what we have achieved together and, more importantly, focus on what is to come.” City staff selected Hometown Heroes Park as the location to commemorate this milestone to help foster community spirit and camaraderie.”

“We will plant three trees – a Live Oak, a Red Oak and a Bur Oak – in forming a unity triangle during the ceremony,” said Rohr. “The Live Oak represents our tradition, heritage and strength. The Red Oak represents the transition our City is going through. And, the Bur Oak, represents our future and our next generation of League City residents.” The celebration, which is co-hosted by the City of League City and the League City Regional Chamber of Commerce, is free and open to the public.

“It is exciting to be one of almost 300 cities in the United States with a population of 100,000 or more,” said Steve Patterson, League City Regional Chamber of Commerce President & CEO. “Our future is very bright and with the staff we now have at the City and a City Council which has shown its desire for well-planned growth, we are in good guiding hands.”

A 50-year time capsule capturing the heart of League City today will also be planted at Hometown Heroes Park to help future residents and City officials have a better understanding of the vision League City was built upon.

“We hope the entire community comes out to the celebration,” said Rohr. “League City is what it is today because of our citizens. We still have a long way to go in building the future of League City and are committed to engaging with our community to implement their Roadmap to the Future.” City Staff is seeking community input regarding items to include in the time capsule. Details on how to submit suggestions will be released shortly.”

Texas City Amusement Park Holds Official Ground Breaking Ceremony

Announcements about the new amusement park and concert venue have been slow coming, but now Galveston County residents can stop holding their breath! Adventure Pointe’s official ground-breaking ceremony was held on November 14, 2015. The preliminary ground clearing had begun in October, but now the Adventure Pointe Team has shown their commitment toward bringing this highly anticipated amusement park to Texas City in Galveston County.

Adventure Pointe’s visionary and owner, Dr. Harvey Slusky (a local cardiologist), was on hand to use the ceremonial shovel to mark the event. Family entertainment has been a prominent business for prior Slusky generations.  Mr. Slusky’s father, Louis, had two separate Playland parks in Houston and Galveston in the late 1940s; his uncle had one in Nebraska; a cousin had a park in Oklahoma City and others in Denver own one which has been in existence for over a century.

Adventure Pointe Amusement Park & Concert Venue is located at 5500-5600 Gulf Freeway (HWY 45) Texas City. The Park will be nextdoor, just south from, the Texas City Tanger Outlet.The 35 acre site will host a thrilling and innovative theme park, a hospitality center with restaurants, retail and hotel accommodations, and an entertainment section complete with a state of the art concert venue.

Volunteers, (or are they elves?), have gathered to help get the holiday lights ready for the The 18th Annual Dickinson Festival of Lights. The Dickinson Festival of Lights Society, Inc. is a 501(c) (3) not for profit organization.

The park will be open to visitors nightly beginning on November 28th thru December 31st, 2015.



Due to the small amount of parking available and the popularity of the displays, a FREE shuttle bus service has been established. FREE Parking is available at the Dickinson Plaza Shopping Center, (Exit 19 (HWY-517) I-45N feeder Rd) which is where the shuttle bus will pick up visitors to travel to the park, and return them from the park.

While at Paul Hopkins Park, guests can enjoy a leisurely pace walking around the many different themed light displays, stop by the Cookie Factory & the Blinkey Hut. Donations are welcome. There will also be an opportunity to have your photo taken with Santa! A concession stand will have snacks & drinks for sale, but you could also visit one of Dickinson’s many restaurants.

UT System Announces Major Houston Expansion, Other 'Quantum Leaps' as Part of Strategic Plan

Houston Business Journal
Olivia Pulsinelli, Senior Web Editor, November 5, 2015

Excerpt from Houston Business Journal - “The University of Texas System announced on Nov. 5 a comprehensive strategic plan full of "quantum leaps," including a major expansion in Houston.

One day earlier, the system’s board of regents approved the acquisition of more than 300 acres off Buffalo Point, about 3.5 miles from the Texas Medical Center. Although specific plans for the land have not yet been decided, Chancellor William McRaven called it a game changer for Houston, the UT System and the State of Texas.”

“This will not be a University of Texas at Houston. Rather, it will be an ‘intellectual hub’ for UT — an opportunity for all our campuses to take advantage of the Houston professionals in the fields of medicine, energy, engineering, business, aerospace, health care and the arts,” McRaven said in prepared remarks to the board of regents on Nov. 5.

Early next year, McRaven will convene a task force of civic leaders, legislators, academic and health presidents, faculty, students and regents, along with other constituents, to begin the planning process for the property.

“We have educational and research gems across our UT System portfolio that, if leveraged with key sectors of health, energy and business in Houston, will allow us to accelerate discoveries and expand research and educational opportunities — complementing our existing UT health institutions — and significantly grow our state’s economic competitiveness,” McRaven said in a Nov. 5 statement. … “
