What do you think about the new signs in Port Arthur?

They are located on 73/87 coming from Bridge City and Hwy 69 coming from Mid-County.  That is the only two I have seen, are there more?

Thoughts?

Price tag?

Haven't seen them. Are they simply billboards promoting Port Arthur?

Another on 73 coming in from Winnie by the levee. Too small to be cool. But definitely noticed them on my trip. Bet they spent way too much for them. 

What about the "side walk" in the median of 73 between PA and Winnie? Looks like another waste. I mean it can really be a side walk. Txdot must have some reason for it. Maybe a divider net.

I have not noticed this.....maybe a base for a wall or fence?

At night it's lit up from within the tower but not clearly recognizable as saying Port Arthur. Seems like a big waste of solor power when they could have used reflective paint.

I saw them a couple of times before I realized that that was the signs that people were talking about. 🤣

They’re hollow kind of, but lit up on both sides.  Makes it hard to read 

WRONG!!

They are of an excellent design, I am sure paid for at a high engineering and consulting cost.

 These signs scream of success!!

Seriously, if you are going to waste money on such an endeavor, that is the best they could come up with?

On the order hand, maybe one of the big oil companies donated the money and it really has no bearing on the taxpayers.

 On the other hand is it any different than the money wasted on the Welkom To Nederland sign?

    • The locals have almost finished firing the first ever Speaker of the House from Southeast Texas upon direct order of Trump and his minions.   It's a sad day... Locals have decided that being represented by the most powerful man in the House didn't mean anything.... they'd rather a political novice to represent this part of SETX.  And why is that?  He wasn't MAGA enough for them.  Who cares that it will hurt locally... What Trump says, goes.     Just yesterday I saw Trump on television demanding that we fire Phelan... How he's a RINO, weak on the border, etc... why?  Because he wouldn't overlook the criminal actions done by Ken Paxton, one of Trump's key supporters in the effort to overturn the 2020 Election and allow Trump to remain in office despite the will of the voters.   Trump never even mentioned Covey's name, and I doubt he would recognize Covey if Covey walked up with a cup of coffee.  Who cares that it's bad for SETX?  Not the R voters from SETX!   Then I saw Covey's preacher on a different ad tell a bald face lie.  Why should Phelan be fired?  "He put Democrats in positions of power in the House."  Really?  That's been the position of BOTH parties for as long as anybody can remember.  They ALWAYS give the minority party committee chairmanships.  But in 2022 the Rs decided that the practice should stop.  Democrat voters should not be allowed a voice in the crafting of legislation if there is a single majority Republican seat in the House, according to the Rs.  Representative Government?  Never heard of it, huh? Never did I believe that we'd have an abortion ban, constitutional carry, huge cuts for school property taxes, and Texas law enforcement being greenlit to enforce immigration law.  But it all happened while Phelan was speaker.  Without a doubt, the most conservative Speaker, ever.  But still a dirty RINO for not being MAGA enough.  It would be funny if it weren't true.   I've been following politics long enough to remember when Rs couldn't get elected in Texas... I'm confident that we're headed back that direction.  I mean, it's obvious that with population shifts we'll be turning blue eventually.  I think that the behavior of the leadership of the Republican Party is going to cause that shift sooner than expected.  I won't be surprised to see Democrat Senators and possibly even a governor elected within 12 years.  Maybe less.  The Rs will be a party apparatus without a voting base behind them.
