The Beach Dash consisted of a 10k, a 5k, a 2-mile walk, and a kids’ dash. Proceeds from the event went to scholarships for Port Aransas High School Seniors.

Several Cinnamon Shore family members participated in the various events and had a great time. This is the 6th year that the event has been held, and is a great way for the community to show their support for the Port Aransas students moving on to college.

Weird as it may be, there’s an undeniable pull toward the secessionist state.

Pick any 2009 economic rankings list and the “Texaplex” cities–Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth, San Antonio and Austin–will have nabbed a spot or three. Austin and Dallas are counted among The Wall Street Journal’s top Youth Magnet cities, and Texas cities were half of the Brookings Institution’s list of top 10 strongest metro areas. Texas dominated 2009’s lists of best relocation destinations, home-building markets and job-creation cities. This very magazine also named Austin one of its own Best Cities for Small Businesses.

“Texas has fared this recession better than most other parts of the country,” says Brad Burke, managing director of Rice University’s Alliance for Technology and Entrepreneurship. “The state became much more diversified over the last decade. It’s investing [billions] in growth industries.”
