I lived in the Veterans Memorial off HWY 73. The ground is so toxic that trees won't grow. The trees will just fall out of the ground. We lost several cats just because they drank the ground water.
The only thing hazardous to your health are the black gangs.
Born and raised there. My kids were sick all the time. ear infections, RSV, swollen lymphoids, etcetera. My sister was diagnosed with cancer. espouses is bad out thete. my kids are doing so well here in Austin. My two youngest boy born out here, have never had one cold! (hill country area)
the chemicals are what destroyed port arthur though
I was raised on 9th Ave. I moved to the Pacific Northwest to get away. Port Arthur has killed many of my family. Each month my siblings and I get settlement checks from many of the corporations that run the deadly business. I have damaged lungs. I too will be dead from the sickness. I hope I will see my kids grow up.
