You and me had to have crossed paths and didn’t know it. Steak and Egg, Sears escalator, probably the Fair (the real fairgrounds)…
Lots of things have changed in Beaumont, just like anywhere else. 11th street used to be “The Drag”. Taking out the circle killed that. Used to be a Gandy’s restaurant on 11th (think that was the name), Popeye’s Chicken used to be a McDonald’s. Laurel and Liberty streets were opposite one-way than they are today. Carnation’s Ice Cream changed to a foot doctors office. Gaylynn theater and shopping center is now part of St. Elizabeth. Showtown is now a golf practice range. South Park drive-in is now a parking lot for plant contractors. I remember Cardinal Drive when it was only the access roads. Lots more, but my fingers are tired.
