Disappointing news about the hepatits-infected, crime-ridden sand bar called Galveston.

From the Houston Biz Journal:

Nearly three years since Hurricane Ike ravaged the Gulf Coast, the University of Texas Medical Branch is moving forward with construction of a replacement hospital in Galveston. The $438 million Jennie Sealy Hospital, to be built on the site of the existing Jennie Sealy building, will feature nearly 250 rooms, surgical suites and intensive-care space. The facility was already in the planning stages before the hurricane.
