Opened in 1942 by the Maceo brothers, it flourished until 1957, when the Texas Rangers shut it down permanently as a gambling establishment. In the times that followed, the building served as a restaurant, night club, and curiosity place for wide-eyed visitors. Mainly, though, it sat closed with its door locked—yes, it had only one door.

  • The Balinese Room
    The Destruction of a Galveston, Texas Landmark by Ed Hertel On September 13, 2008, the residents of Galveston, Texas, woke up and emerged from their wind battered homes to find an island of devastation. Hurricane Ike had made landfall and brought all the fury of a Category 4 storm unto the island. Across the country, stories and images of the weather beaten community flashed across televisions. News reporters stood by piles of rubble, water and complete chaos trying to convey the utter devastation and loss of the city. As the disaster toll rose, a better picture emerged as to what was lost; including hundreds of homes, businesses, hotels and one very important historical landmark. 64 Casino Chip and Token news | Volume 22 Number 2 Almost as an after thought, the news reported on the rim with cases would anchor outside of federal limits destruction of the Balinese Room.

  • Island Empire: the Influence of the Maceo Family in Galveston
    ISLAND EMPIRE: THE INFLUENCE OF THE MACEO FAMILY IN GALVESTON Tabitha Nicole Boatman, B.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2014 APPROVED: Scott Belshaw, Committee Chair Chad Trulson, Committee Member Richard B. McCaslin, Committee Member Eric Fritsch, Chair of the Department of Criminal Justice Thomas Evenson, Dean of the College of Public Affairs and Community Service Mark Wardell, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Boatman, Tabitha Nicole. Island Empire: The Influence of the Maceo Family in Galveston. Master of Science (Criminal Justice), August 2014, 127 pp., bibliography, 80 titles. From the 1920s until the 1950s, brothers, Sam and Rosario Maceo, ran an influential crime family in Galveston, Texas. The brothers’ success was largely due to Galveston’s transient population, the turbulent history of the island, and the resulting economic decline experienced at the turn of the 20th century. Their success began during Prohibition, when they opened their first club. The establishment offered bootlegged liquor, fine dining, and first class entertainment. After Prohibition, the brothers continued to build an empire on the island through similar clubs, without much opposition from the locals. However, after being suspected of involvement in a drug smuggling ring, the Maceos were placed under scrutiny from outside law enforcement agencies. Through persistent investigations, the Texas Rangers finally shut down the rackets in Galveston in 1957. Despite their influence through the first half of the 20th century, on the island and off the island, their story is largely missing from the current literature. Copyright 2014 by Tabitha Nicole Boatman ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my deepest appreciation to my thesis committee members, particularly Dr.

  • Thanks for the Memories
    Thanks for the Memories The Hotel Galvez and Spa lives eternally in the memories of thousands of people who have been its guests over a century. The following are a few of the mementoes they have shared with us. ———————— 1915 Lawrence A. Wainer Dallas, Texas My father, Max Wainer Sr., was born in the Hotel Galvez, in Room 231, during the 1915 storm. (Room 231 was located where the elevator bank now stands.) I have a copy of his birth certificate and a letter from the general manager of the Hotel Galvez, written in 1915, congratulating the parents on the new arrival and assuring them that the Hotel Galvez would take care of them. ———————— 1926 Dr. E. Sinks McLarty Galveston, Texas We moved to the Galvez in 1926, when I was about five. The hotel back then had a lot of permanent residents. Times were hard and a lot of peo- ple worked for the hotel and lived there, too. Pop was the hotel doctor. Even though my dad was the doctor, we were too poor to eat at the hotel. We got our meals at a boarding house a few blocks away. You learn to eat fast at a boarding house. We lived in three rooms in the middle section of the sixth floor, on the south side, overlooking the Gulf. Sam Maceo had his penthouse on the floor just above us. Sam was a good man, really nice to me. He had a nephew about my age who stayed at the Galvez sometimes. His nephew had a secret hiding place inside one of the closets where you could look into people’s bedrooms, but I was always afraid to go with him.

  • From Harvard to Enron
    http http://www.newsmakingnews.com/lm4,4,02,harvardtoenronpt2.htm NEWSMAKINGNEWS.COM FOLLOW THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD: FROM HARVARD TO ENRON PART TWO by Linda Minor © 2002 Permission to reprint with acknowledgement, granted by author Why Did Pug Go Bananas? We learned from Part One (Click) that Pug Winokur began working in 1974 for David H. Murdock's companies based in Los Angeles, CA. We also looked at information indicating that during the time Pug was at Murdock's Pacific Holding Corp., that company acquired 100% of the stock in International Mining Company--the largest shareholder of Zapata common stock. Two directors of ITC were closely connected to AtlanticRichfield, one director a long-time employee of Shell Oil. There were also close connections to First City Bank of Houston, which a Congressional investigation in 1976 found to be heavily immersed in influence from the Rothschild Bank of London.(1) Between the years of 1966 (when George H.W. Bush resigned as chairman and CEO of Zapata Offshore) and 1974 (when Pug went to work for Murdock), Zapata, the management of which interlocked with that of AtlanticRichfield, (2) was attempting to acquire control of United Fruit Company. Understanding United Fruit's real history, and its financing apparatus through an international investment consortium that dates back at least 100 years, brings Pug's role in that takeover attempt into sharper focus. That history is set out more thoroughly in Part Two-A. Click and Part Two-B Click. After Zapata lost its attempted takeover and accepted greenmail from United Fruit in 1969, Eli Black took charge of United Fruit.
