Hurricane Ike roared through Texas on September 13, 2008. Its path of destruction included Galveston Island and Bolivar Peninsula and Houston. Bolivar was nearly flattened, few structures remain. The Ballinese Ballroom was a Galveston landmark. Frank Sinatra even performed here! Here is a link to this famous ballroom built in the 1920’s: http://balineseroom.net/historyofBalinese.htm
