This is the developer of TheStrand.com, a web site with more information about The Strand. Here is information from the web site about The National Historic Strand District in Galveston:
The Strand District, in downtown Galveston, has transformed itself into the "Social and Shopping Center of the Island." For shoppers, this 36-block historic district holds everything one could desire: clothing, factory outlets, souvenirs, art galleries, antique galleries, and excellent restaurants.
The Strand's daily attractions include: The Galveston County Museum, the Railroad Museum, Victorian architecture from the 1800s, horse & carriage rides through town, historical markers, excellent shopping, an old fashioned trolley for transportation, and even a giant chess set in Saengerfest Park. On the outer edges of The Strand is the Post Office district, known for its antique and art galleries, and Pier 21 with daily showings of a movie of The Great Storm of 1900, excellent restaurants, the OffShore Drilling Rig and Museum, and the Texas Seaport Museum with tall ship Elissa. Finally, The Strand also hosts a variety of yearly events like the wildly popular Mardi Gras celebration, and the Dickens on The Strand festival, celebrating Galveston's Victorian heritage.
