"Port Arthur has absorbed hard times in recent years. On a recent Saturday, its downtown was so desolate it appeared virtually abandoned, even as people in town talk about the promise of new enterprises ahead.
The city’s entwined troubles of poverty, drugs and street gangs made it a place full of trapdoors that Charles had to overrun on his way to rushing for 4,107 yards and 50 touchdowns during his last two years of high school."
Port Arthur has a lot of great History and it's sad that people are moving out. I go junk picking on the roads(people throw out some good stuff in PA..lol), and some of the houses still have the blue tarps from the hurricanes. WTH.
