Thinking of moving to south padre Island, My fiance and I both work from home during the day we both also bartend nights/ and serve. I have a couple of a couple of questions about the Island. starting with is there a local community we would like to make friends. Another for anyone in the hospitality business what is your business season? A little bit of us we are in our early and mid 30s and are looking for a slower pace than chicago with better weather. One big thing on our moving list would be staying on the Island so we do not have to drive and prefer using our bikes instead of driving.
