Over the past couple of months, our In Their Words videos have shared the stories of friends and partners who were impacted by Hurricane Harvey. All of us who were in the storm's path—including our Corpus team—will never forget the havoc wrought or the lives changed. One year later, we remain humbled and deeply honored to be a part of Texas' dynamic, strong coastal community. Together, we persevered and continue to rebuild. We hope you've enjoyed watching the videos and have felt inspired by the courage, persistence, and grace of these Texas restaurateurs. Our last video from this segment features a family-run restaurant called Benchwarmers in Fulton, Texas.

Like other businesses across Mustang Island, Black Marlin was forced to re-build post-Harvey, but it has come out of the experience stronger than ever before. Continue reading →
