The 1990s were a great decade when it came to music, fashion, film and gas prices.
In Corpus Christi, the decade featured the Corpus Christi Public Libraries setting up its first CD-ROM service station, the Calallen High School girls basketball team’s state championship and the grand opening of the Texas State Aquarium.
It also saw the death of Tejano singer and Corpus Christi native Selena and residents’ tributes to her.
