New Scavenger Hunt

ANOTHER CHALLENGE!!!!!! HAAAAZZAAAAAHHHHH!

Mr. Martinez has posted again and this time there was no cryptic riddle.. so seven points for Slytherin. Instead there was on this image:

 

I am supposed to find where the current location is and then post a picture of it. 

Update:

Apparently this is Sorghum field in 1984.

And after putting this image into Google search I have found out that in an article that i will link at the end, it is now Moore Plaza. I'll update with a current picture!

Update:

Here is the same area in 2014:

If you notice, the sign in the back says Moore Plaza. I look rather unhappy and that is because I am standing in Moore Plaza barefoot. 

Here is the link to the old picture where I got my information of it being Moore Plaza.

Scavernger Hunt: the First Mexican School in Corpus Christ Marker

The first challenge Senor Martinez threw down was that of finding out where this marker was. Not gonna  lie, it was super easy. Well, to figure out where the marker was easy , but as a Corpus Christi teen with minimal driving skills, especially in the downtown area full of confusing one ways, it was very difficult to actually get there.

 

I'll skip the specifics on how long it got there because I am not all that comfortable embarrassing myself, especially on the forever internet. What is important is that in the end, I did in fact get there. Along with my partner and radio specialist, Sabrina Chapa (and her boyfriend Andrew Garcia who took the picture(Give credit where credit is due.)). 

 

That's me and Sabrina at the marker,it explains in detail what it is so you should definitely read it and save me the expense of having to reiterate the description. But in essence the marker is for the Cheston L. Heath School, the first school where Hispanics could attend, that taught Mexican Americans English and other academics in 1896 until 168 when the schools were integrated. The importance though, might be a bit more hidden. Corpus Christi is populated primarily of people of Hispanic heritage and has been so since the inception of the town. That being, before the school, Mexican American and Hispanics were not being educated. It was a huge step in civil right in Corpus because Education makes huge differences in minority culture because it begins to allow people to know where oppression is occurring and gives them an ability to stop it. SO the education allowed for Corpus Christi to begin the temper into a more equal playing field  .

Lake Apache

I live on the street that is generally addressed as Lake Apache. Well, according to the letters that end up in my mail box. I would not know otherwise because currently the street sign is gone missing, or at least on my side of the street. It is located in 'The Lakes' neighborhood in South-side Corpus Christi. It is in the the Carroll High school, Grant Middle School, and Luther Jones Elementary section. According to my neighbors who I shan't name, the street was made in 2003. And my house, according to the pamphlet that the real estate sales person gave my parents, was built in 2005. I do not think that is 100% accurate though because I am pretty sure my house is haunted. 
My street, like all the streets in 'The Lakes', is named after an actual Lake in the United States of America. it is a theme really. Developers built glorified ponds in our backyard and suddenly we are 'The Lakes'. It really was a marketing strategy. 
I'll update this soon with a quick walk through my street and a few pictures.
