Snapshot of Victoria


Grilled chicken salad topped with Parmesan cheese is on the menu at Greek Bros. Oyster Bar & Grill’s Victoria location.
The D. H. Regan House, built in 1883, was actually constructed in the coastal city of Indianola. To avoid hurricanes, the mansion was moved by rail a few years later to its present location on South DeLeón Street in Victoria.
