“If you were located a tad above sea level, between a river, a gulf and a bayou, where it’s hot and humid enough to rot any plant or animal, and were the site of several industrial plants, you’d stink, too.” Where’s Ann Huey talking about? Oh, Beaumont: “. . . home to a lot of homes with history, or no history, or that are history. There’s old money, new money, and no money.” There’s much in this introduction to our East Texas neighbor that should sound awfully familiar to a Houstonian — even if you’ve never had a chance to visit.

The only place worse than Houston….and that’s saying a lot!
They’re downtown looks cute enough to make a visit to. I learned a little through this video, cool.
Their, sorry :(
Really hdtex is Houston that horrible ? I dont think so.
If you thought white people hated Houston, you should see how they feel about Beaumont. All those poor white people and blacks. Real cities wouldn’t put up with that shit.
If you find yourself with 12 minutes to kill in Beaumont, visit the courthouse just off of downtown. The old art deco courthouse has been lovingly preserved down to the interior of the high ceiling district court rooms.
