S P O T L I G H T Bringing Community Together, One Event at a Time. Behind every strong community are people who dedicate their time, energy, and hearts to making a difference. Meet Barbara Peirsol, where serving others is more than a commitment, it’s a passion that continues to inspire her work with LULAC Council 151 in Galveston.
Barbara Peirsol For the past four years, Barbara has been a proud Woman of the Year by Galveston LULAC Council 151 and LULAC District VIII
member of LULAC, an organization built on unity, service, and the belief that working together can create a stronger community. Inspired by her desire to help others, Barbara found a place where her passion for giving back could make a meaningful impact. LULAC’s motto, “One for All and All for One,” reflects the values she carries into her community involvement. What keeps Barbara motivated is seeing firsthand how community service touches people's lives. From the smiles and waves of children during local parades to the heartfelt emotions of elderly veterans watching honor guards lead the way, these moments remind her why service matters. For Barbara, even the smallest act of kindness can bring joy, honor, and a sense of togetherness. Her dedication has not gone unnoticed. Barbara was honored as Woman of the Year by Galveston LULAC Council 151 and LULAC District VIII, a recognition she accepts with gratitude and humility. Rather than viewing the award as an individual accomplishment, she sees it as a reflection of the dedicated people she serves alongside, individuals who continually inspire and encourage her. Island Vibe celebrates Barbara Peirsol for her dedication, compassion, and commitment to making a difference.

Lights, Camer Galveston’s For decades, moviegoers on Galveston Island didn’t have to travel far to catch a film. They could head straight to the Galveston Primetime on Seawall for modern blockbusters today, but long before that, Broadway Avenue had its own iconic cinema that anchored what once was a bustling neighborhood entertainment corridor. Longtime locals still remember the Broadway Theater, a single‑screen neighborhood movie house that opened its doors on February 14, 1947 with Cary Grant in Notorious. Located at 5121 Broadway Avenue in Galveston, this Art‑Deco‑styled theatre seated about 849 film lovers, a sizable crowd for its day and offered first‑run films during the post‑World War II boom in cinema attendance. Over time, however, changing tastes and new competition from larger multiplex cinemas began drawing audiences elsewhere. By the late 1970s and early 1980s, the Broadway had fallen on harder times and even screened adult films for a period, a sign of how some older neighborhood houses struggled as television and suburban mall theaters rose in popularity. After years of trying to stay relevant by including shifting to

ra, Broadway! Long Lost Broadway Movie Theatre second‑run dollar features the Broadway Theatre closed for good on April 12, 1998. The building was ultimately demolished, leaving behind memories of nights spent under its marquee and the familiar footsteps of generations of movie fans strolling Broadway after a show. Though the Broadway Theatre itself is gone, the memories remain of ticket stubs tucked in wallets, date nights under the neon, and the unmistakable smell of popcorn that once defined moviegoing on Galveston’s historic boulevard.

CREATIVE MIND Meet Ernal Mayberry III., III., the creative mind behind Islandary, a vision rooted in community, purpose, and the power of bringing people together. In this month’s Creative Mind feature, we explore the inspiration behind Islandary, the journey that brought it to life, and the impact Ernel hopes to make by empowering others.
Q. Before we talk about Islandary,
tell us a little about yourself. Who are you outside of being a business owner, and what experiences have shaped the person you are today?
A. Outside of being a business owner I’d say that I’m a curious
and resilient young boy who grew up watching his grandmother’s forage a way for their family’s through inner city Galveston. My grandmother’s ; my peers living in low income situations along with me; my father being harassed/brutalized by GPD and me having his name; plus great people with great hearts showing me love helped me grow into the man I am now.
Q. What inspired you to create Islandary, and how did the idea grow into what it is today?
A. Islandary was created by one of my best friends who is like a brother
to me named Brandon Parish. The idea was based off of our lifestyles and how we plus many islanders like us push forward to achieve our goals no matter the circumstances/obstacles placed in front of us. It slowly grew into what it is today when I was asked to become the head and body of the organization. Simply because it’s a reflection of my soul.

Q. Islandary is built around empowering communities to imagine
boldly, live purposefully, and build together. What does that mission mean to you, and how do you hope to bring it to life in the community?
A. The acronym for island in islandary is Imaging Successful Lifestyles and
Never Doubting. The ary extension is to add the lure of legendary to the word, thus a person being islandary is an island legend. So the whole essence of its creation was to display our souls and The Island’s soul. This is why we have the FMLY Collection which is full of apparel with many people who meant a lot/ made a huge impact to The Island just to ensure that their greatness lives on and hopefully inspire the future generations.
Q. What’s next for Islandary? What impact or legacy do you hope to create through your work?
A. Next, I’m working on putting islandary under the umbrella of Hundredfold
Community Impact Alliance, a nonprofit organization that I’ve created to do as the name implies and provide some positive impact to the community through many great avenues like islandary. With this and many more of my ventures I plan on empowering young people that grew up like me to swing for the fences while also being the support and/or finding the support that they need to achieve whatever they plan on.
Q. If you could bring any bold idea to
life with unlimited resources and no fear of failure, what would you create and why?
A. That bold idea is Hundredfold Community
Impact Alliance. I say that because I plan on it growing into something similar to the workforce solutions but 100 times greater. Greater by exposing all of the avenues that are out here to be successful like construction, arts, agriculture, mechanics, sciences and so on. Past exposing them I want to get them trained, certified, and working instead of the traditional pipelining into careers where they won’t be too successful. My why is simply because that’s what my soul is telling me. www.IslandVibeMagazine.com // November 2026 // Island Vibe 13

The Balinese Room was an iconic nightclub and beachside entertainment venue built on a 600‑foot pier over the Gulf of Mexico, just off Seawall Boulevard. It opened on January 17, 1942, and became a glamorous hotspot for dancing, drinks, live music, and illegal gambling
During its heyday in the 1940s and ’50s, the Balinese Room attracted some of the biggest entertainers of the era, including Frank Sinatra, Bob Hope, George Burns, Duke Ellington, and the Marx Brothers — making it one of the Gulf Coast’s most exclusive nightlife destinations.
The city has been featured in films, TV shows, and novels because of its haunted history and coastal charm.
