Question: Which once-thriving Texas railroad community on Galveston Bay is now down to a single house?
Answer: Virginia Point. Trains once rolled through this busy community on Galveston Bay, but today, just one vacation home remains near the causeway. Hurricane Ike destroyed about 25 homes in 2008, and Texas City refused to let owners rebuild. One couple’s property, however, lay outside the city limits, giving them a chance to rebuild their coastal getaway.
