Website Needs Improvement  I agree that listing "watch traffic go by at Starbucks" is an embarrassment! Support local coffee shops!! We can come up with more to do in the valley ...

overall  I really think this whole website need improvement. I mean I came here to see what I could find to do around here, I think I should get to know the valley ...

Palo Alto Historic Battle Field  Palo Alto Battle Field in Los Fresnos is free and has great walking trails

More fun things to do in rgv  The ZONE: mini golf, go carts, video games, food, batting range, etc. get off on 23rd EXIT, cross it and after coca cola company.

Bowling: Flamingo ...

Children's Museum in Brownsville:(  That place $%^&@!!! There is nothing for kids over the age of 6 except one small building area. Don't waste your time!!!

There is More to the RGV!!!  There is more to the RGV other than what you have listed here.

If you go to Mission don't forget to head north on La Homa Dr. until you get to Mile ...

Sitting at Starbucks???  Stating to sit at Starbucks as a thing to do is embarrassing. Plus there are Starbucks all over the valley. Why would this be stated for McAllen? Also ...

starbucks  Instead of suggesting someone sit outside of a Starbucks and watch cars go by, you should probably encourage people to support locally owned coffee shops ...
