anyone in Beaumont Tx.????

[driver775]

Beaumont?????

Charleez, my being a truck driver, I have seen most of this country and find houston to be one of the worst cities to drive in. The people are suicidal almost as bad as in L.A. But as far as Beaumont, the water table is one of the worst in the nation due to the petro-chemical plants and PGEs has allergies that would give her hell in that part of Texas. Also the school system is not that good. I will say that you can find nice down to earth people whereever you go, but that is still KKK country in a big way. Overall, Beaumont sucks. sorry if I pissed anyone off. I just call 'em as I see 'em. And besides it rains alot there and then there are the monsoons from the hurricanes.

Keep on truckin'

Don't feed the bears.

Beaumont's east of Houston (as I'm sure you've figured out), and there are plenty of us in the Houston area. Come visit, stay a while. Just don't get too close to Louisiana unless you're heading on into New Orleans.

I live close to Beaumont, it's a nice area, I live near Tyler, TX. Tyler is a really nice city, if you ever want to come and visit let me know.

Beaumont????/

PGEs I don't know what Beaumont this person is talking about, but it can't be the one in Tx. I drove through there during and after they got heavy rains and floods last year. As far as racist
that is clansmen (kkk) country big time, and if a person has alergies and/or asthma it is a living hell. As far as the Dallas/Ft.Worth area, it has a mixture of all peoples there. It is not all white, nor is it all racist. The person who pm'ed this to you makes me wonder where they have been and what they use as a comparison. You know me and what I do for a living and where I have lived PGEs.It is a beautiful green country, but for a good reason, "IT RAINS" a lot. As far as tornadoes, I know it is rare, but it does happen, but what does happen is when a hurricane hits the coast it hits there too and it floods there big time. And it is funny how the Beaumont fans fail to acknowledge the petro-chemical plants that over the years have screwed up their enviroment, air and water supply. If you like a very humid and muggy polluted enviroment hey that is the place to live. Well that is the basic gist of it. In reality a better place to live would be in Boulder, Co. I have been to a lot of places and it beats anywhere in Tx. as far as weather, education and a lot of other things as well. That's my story and I am sticking to it.

Keep on truckin'
and don't feed the bears.

Beaumont

Just a bump and a hmmmmm to no rebuttle to what I said. PGEs I think I hit a sore spot with my fellow Texans. All I did was speak the truth. hehehe

Keep on truckin'

And don't feed the bears.

Hi prettygrneyes !!!!!

bumping ths up for a good cause.....I am still considering moving to Beaumont Tx...butt I want to know more....schools,etc.........

I've lived in Texas most of my life and was born in Dallas.
Beaumont is a great little town from what I see of it when I work over that way. It still has a lot of small town appeal but also has a lot of the things I like in a large city.

I'm not up to much on the schools there.

If you do come to Texas Welcome !!!!
You'll find we are a friendly bunch

 

[prettygrneyes]

I guess I will have to move and see for myself cause eveyrone here has been helpful but alot of different feelings.
so I will have to see for myself huh?

i have live in bmt for 20 years

i love beaumont texas. i have lived there for 20 years. it is a very nice place to be. there is not a lot of cowboys or cowgirls there. the people are very freindly and it is not that small. it is smaller than houston though. there r many things to do there. i went to lamar university for a while and that school is really good. but i d have to tell you that the galveston bay is yucky looking. if u r into seafood u can get a lot there. it kind of gives u that hometown feeling when u will eventually get know a lot of people. the small cityof portarthur is about 10 minutes away and the water there is pretty cool but it is not pretty blue. what things do u like to do? i can tell yu all the good spots to go to. unfortunately, i had to move to another city and i reall miss it. and to whoever told u that it ha hurricanes really lied. it floods about every five years. they had a really bad one last year so u r good to go for four more years. it does not snow and the winter is mild to other cities but it does get cold. if u want to know more than email. aslmjg@aol.com

I lived in Beaumont during my teenage years... I went to Odom Middle School and Westbrook H.S. Compared to the Louisiana school system, I'd say the Beaumont School System is pretty good. My younger brother also attended elementary school there (I forget the name of the school)... The western part of Beaumont is the nicer area with more shopping, restaurants, etc. Most of the people are Southern Baptist.

That's about all I can remember off the top of my head... My sister still lives there, but she prefers coming to New Orleans to visit.

[Celtic Warrior]

PrettyGreeneyes Good morning baby. I am thinking of you wishing you were here. I love you My most Prcious.
To unregistered, I guess Beaumont is alright if you like A LOT of rain mosquitoes and an extremely humid enviroment that and living in KKK country. I think there are better places to live. To each his or her own who ever you may be.

We get the same amount of rain as Houston, Baton Rouge, New Orleans, Mobile, Pensacola, Galveston, and most of the Gulf Coast...nothing new there. Yes we have mosquitoes but Minnesota has them too, probably more (yes I lived there, not just drove through) and as far as KKK crap goes that is bullsh*t that some ignorant as*hole spreads around as the truth. The KKK is NOT active in Beaumont. It is active in Cleveland Texas. Get your facts straight and talk about crap you know about.

Beaumont, TX

Howdy PGE,

I'm going to tell you what I know of the Golden Triangle area of Texas. Beaumont is included in that area. I lived there for eight years of my life. I am a sufferer of asthma and I do know that in the drier climate that I have been in for the last five years it has been much more difficult to handle my disease. The moist air in Beaumont, and I imagine all of the gulf coast, is soothing to the constantly irritated lungs of us asthmatics. And it is moist there. The average rain-fall in that area is about 78 inches a year. You will not have to worry about watering your outdoor plants. There are mornings when you awake to the smell of sulfur in the air, if you don't know what that means, it's like the smell of rotting eggs. I'm not exagerating. There is some KKK activity in the area, but I couldn't give you an exact location, cause, well, they are a secretive group by nature and out of necessity. We always joked that Vidor, a town in that area, was the KKK capitol of the nation, but I can tell you through eight years of the public school system, that I only saw one girl belonging to a minority group and that was for less then one week, and I didn't go to Vidor schools. During my junior year of high school, we moved up to the Tyler area. As far as that being close, I guess it is all perspective, it's about a four hour drive. I missed the area for about a week, and now, I don't think that you could pay me enough to move back there. That's just my opinion though. I would advise a visit, like the man said. I hope for your safety on your trip, regardless of the outcome or reason. Good Luck

Hey there,

I live about one hour from Beaumont, and about 15 minutes from the nude beach others were mentioning earlier in this thread.

I am originally form Huntington Beach, California. People ask me WHY ON EARTH would I move to the TEXAS GULF?

Why? Because my house, one-eighth of a mile from the shoreline cost me $17,000 nine years ago (needed cosmetic work, looks awesome now SEE THE PIC!). In Huntington, that would cost, roughly, a quarter mil for a little bitty house.

I don't have to pay $8.00 to park even remotely close to the beach and hike several hundred yards to the sand. Here, I drive my Texas Truck right up on the sand, up to the surf, and unload buttloads of coolers, barbeque pits, lawn furniture, heck, we even brought a full-sized wooden swing-loveseat thing. Party down!!! No fee. All access. 24/7, 365!!!!!!!!!!!!

The beach I live on is a topless beach, and you can drive on the shoreline on all 23 miles of it, and you can drink on it, and make bonfires, and camp out, and YOU CAN LET YOUR DOG RUN FREE ON IT, whenever you want, year round. The only thing you can't do is pee on the dunes ( humans get an instant trip to the jail for doing that). Gotta maintain the ecological balance, you know.

Everyone is extraordinarily nice, helpful, and they all have cool nick-names like Barefoot, Pebbles, Possum, and Pookie (real people, all).

In my town, because I have all my teeth, I am practically treated like a fucking beauty queen everywhere I go. Men here fall all over themselves to talk to you/dance with you/ sit by you, when in California, my sister and I could grow moss on our North side, we would have to wait so long for anything exciting to happen.

Now, we did make some concessions. Some folks aren't the brightest bulbs on the tree, and a few I have met are downright illiterate, and one girl I know who is 23 can't even say her abc's. But there are some really interesting and educated folks here, too. Schools are fine here. You just have to learn who to strike up a converation with, and who not to. And whatever you do, don't tell them to come over anytime...because they will. And yes, there are a fair share of racist jerk-offs, firing off a slur or two, but when you tell them to shut up, they often say, "Yes, Ma'am." It is irritating, but I have never heard of anyone acting out against anyone for their ethnicity here, other than the occassional rude remark. And it is improving all the time. We have a very tolerant community, for the most part.

People in Texas are the most friendly people on the planet. Period. There is no comparison to any place I have ever been. Texans will help you do ANYTHING. Need a chainsaw, you got it. Need a flat fixed...no problem. I have saved a small fortune just by taking folks up on their offers to lend a hand, or a power tool, or their expertise.

In my particular town, I have never locked my front door, nor my car doors, for 6 years, and have never had a single problem ('cept a coon got in my car window and ate a bag of cat food that was stored there once). In Cali, I had my rear window smashed in and my radio stolen 4 times in one year!

I LOVE TEXAS, and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. This is what home should feel like. I have real people I can count on, not just my immediate family. I have an affordable beach house that I actually OWN OUTRIGHT, not one that I have to pay off for 30 years. I have a savings now! I can travel! The liberation is fantastic not to be eaten alive with a huge mortgage, and association fees, and having a committee pass approval because you want to change the color of the trim on your house!

City life sucks. I never knew how much, til I found my little corner of Texas. If Beaumont doesn't appeal after all, check out the cool little towns all around the area. You might really enjoy it. I have three other family memebers into relocating here, and now, THEY LOVE IT AS MUCH AS I DO.

It's like that little plaque my mom gave me once...

If you are good
and say your prayers,
when you die,
you'll go to Texas.

Yeeeehaaaaw,

I appreciate all of what you said and for the most part agree with you. I like all of the people who are in Texas for one reason or another. It is definately home. The only reason I would move is for money (and lot's of it), but as soon as Texas declares it's independance, I'd be back the next day. Ya, I'm a nut, but I also say things like, ya'll and howdy. I'm probably one of the best spoken people I know also. My wife has a degree from Texas A&M university, and I'd have it no other way. I looks like we'll be moving down to the Wharton area of Texas ourselves, which is, if anything, farther from Beaumont then we are now. Not that I'm complaining, mind you.
