Crockett Street Redux

If you're like me, you start planning your weekend around 10:30 Wednesday morning. Sometimes earlier. Don't get me wrong, I love my job, but who isn't ready to get out of the office after the computer screen/fluorescent light cocktail makes you feel drunk without the perks.

For those of us in Southeast Texas, finding great places to go out can be tough, especially with you have to drive everywhere and there's a lack of cabs and/or shuttles to help fend off DWI's.

That's why it's great that Crockett Street is coming back after it's "hiatus." Let's face it, downtown Beaumont is never going to be like 6th Street in Austin, because the city of Beaumont will never be anything like Austin, or another city where young people flock. And that's fine.

Crockett Street is what we've got to work with folks, so instead of sitting around complaining about not having any place to go out, let's patronize the bars and clubs we've got. It's like the wise ancients once said, "If you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with."

And people, if you're drunk don't drive, text, make phone calls, hit on twins, dance on a bar, or pick a fight with a large person. Just don't.
