Wednesday night takes on a relaxed, only-in-a-small-coastal-town feel when Brad Ethridge takes the stage at Moore McDonald VFW Post 8967 — a no-pretense, wide-open-to-the-public kind of place where shuffleboard tournaments run on Wednesday nights and pool tables stay busy between sets. It's the sort of laid-back local scene that reminds you Port Aransas has a personality all its own, well beyond the shoreline.
After a night of live music and a little friendly shuffleboard competition, Beached Inn is just a short walk back to the salt air and the sound of the Gulf rolling in — the kind of ending to an evening that makes you wonder why you ever vacation anywhere else.
