Just got back from a short vacation in Galveston (actually Bolivar which is adjacent). I was surprised to see so many PM houses. Most were small colonies of 1-2 houses. Most of the houses were the S&K types. The others, I wasn't sure, but mostly 12-16 compartments with round holes. I saw very few gourds. Lots of PMs everywhere. In my neck of the woods, PM houses are few and far between. It was cool to see. Any landlords from this area?

Interesting...For me the houses were 'super attractants' for HOSP, TS, and BB's. Gourds mostly up here around me. Cool you saw something different.
