Jorge Gonzalez's Website and Larissa Leal's Website

Jorge's project helped to show some of the improvements Corpus has involved themselves in as a community. I think we lack giving Corpus the credit they deserve when it comes to prevention of things happening such as the seawall as Jorge talked about about also my topic before the seawall was built, the lighthouse. The Seawall was built in order to prevent another hurricane like the one in 1919 from happening again so a wall that extends from Ocean Drive to Downtown was built and elevated higher to prevent an over flow due to how close we are to water. After reading this information I learned some similarities in Jorge and my project by the need of prevention Corpus accomplishes. Another related website was Larissa's regarding the port of Corpus Christi and how it was beneficial to Corpus's economic growth. Corpus port is extended to Aransas Pass by a canal that was built to help good go in and out of the port. The main purpose of the Lighthouse was to protect the port from getting destroyed as Pearl Harbor so it is nice to learn the history of the port and the danger it overcomed and success it has accomplished.
