It's Live: The Best of Downtown Walking Tour
Dropped in — and I stripped the Facebook tracking parameters since those are meant f
or ad campaigns, not a blog post link.
Corpus Christi has always had a story worth slowing down for — we just didn't have a way to hand it to you, stop by stop, at your own pace. Until now.
The Bayfront Bliss Walking Tour is officially live, and it's ready whenever you are. Pull it up on your phone, start at the Selena Memorial Statue, and follow the pins through a little over a mile of downtown — no ticket required, no set start time, no guide to keep up with.
Along the way, you'll pass:
The Selena Memorial Statue, a beloved tribute where fans still leave flowers to this day
Artesian Park, where three future U.S. presidents camped before any of them held office
House of Rock, a live music venue with a past life you'd never guess
La Retama Park, home to a 1929 tunnel built straight through downtown's bluff
The Foundry, once a single family's building for 120 years
A Farrah Fawcett mural honoring one of the city's own
K Space Contemporary, tucked inside an old five-and-dime store
Norma Urban Park, where the tour ends the way it should — bay breeze, marina views, and the woman who helped bring art back to downtown in the first place
Five hundred years of history, packed into a walk you can start on a whim.
Whether you're a visitor staying downtown or a local who's walked these streets a hundred times without knowing half of this, we think you'll leave with a favorite stop of your own.ting from here easiest?
