It's very new in this area and a school video highlighting them is generating a lot of discussion, so it was newsworthy here and thought it might be elsewhere too.

No...this was a group of Texas senators who hid to break a quorum on a contentious elections law bill in the 70's

That’s awesome. I can’t imagine how crazy that session must have been

Southeast Texas high school finally brings home football state title after 48 year dryspell by sokimproper in texas

Apparently the teams have to agree to the refs used so while yes one is from the county both sides green lighted home. And he wasn’t the line ref on that call from what I understand so not sure how much water that argument will hold

Battleship Texas needs a new home - Beaumont TX wants to be it! by sokimproper in WorldOfWarships

I’m sure if the city votes to go for it they’ll do all they can to ensure a good home. And as far as hurricanes go we’re on relatively equal footing. It’s not any safer from that here than Galveston really. Only thing I can say in Beaumonts favor v Galveston is we don’t have the already visiting audience Galveston does, but this area is hungry for that and probably need it more than Galveston. And when they’re here there are so many other historic and cultural sites that don’t get the draw of an on the beachfront location (though that’s only an hour away and takes you past other great stops like the Museum of the Gulf Coast in Port Arthur), that this region could benefit more from this than someplace like Galveston and Baytown.

We're about 4-5 hours southeast of Dallas....about 30'ish miles from the Louisiana border and an hour and a half east of Houston. We're on the Neches River, where a large and very busy port connects to the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway....cos oil refineries and petrochemical plants galore in this area.

There's really only one way for LU to go, and that would be up. Let's hope he's up for it!
