About this listen
When you think of socialites taking in a performance featuring Ray Charles or James Brown, all the while rubbing elbows with the likes of Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin, the first U.S. city that comes to mind is probably New York, or maybe Los Angeles.
But what if I told you in its heyday, those things and more were happening in a town of some 55,000 people less than 10 miles from the Gulf of Mexico. For a time, Port Arthur was the place to be, and be seen. And the backdrop to all the energy and goings on in this southeast Texas town was petroleum.
Times have changed, and residents will be the first to tell you that Port Arthur isn't what it used to be, but there's hope that the next generation of the energy industry might bring this Texas town out of the doldrums.
