Beautiful and cleverly designed, this bridge spans the Houston Ship Channel and joins Baytown and La Porte. It is named for the editor of the Baytown Sun, a local newspaper from 1950 to 1974. It is the longest cable-stayed bridge in Texas. The bridge replaces the Baytown Tunnel that was removed in 1999. There is no toll to cross the bridge. Fun to cross in heavy fog but it all worked out just fine. [Review 854 of 2024 - 609 in Texas - 21884 overall]

Sometimes it smells like snot, stale pork rinds, burnt hair, luke (however no one else knows the meaning of that), dirty socks though I know all it is, is pollution & chemicals that's offseting it. I'm always driving across this bridge and often have to hold my breath while driving across. The odor is that bad. You'll use this bridge connecting Baytown, to Mont Belvieu and Dayton. I drove across it every morning at 4 am to go to work. 5 years later, the smell has dissipated one day and back another day. Accidents occur on this bridge typically because cars in the far right lane don't merge over until the last minute to rush to meet their exit.

Just visited for the 2nd time with my Grandmother, first time for Mother's Day and again this week for her birthday, and she (we) had the BEST time! There are a ton of really fantastic paintings coming up for Fall, come give them a try! If you weren't impressed before, give them a second chance, things have immensely improved from a few years back. They have even switched paintings for me before because we preferred one over the one they had posted on the website. You won't regret going!

I mean, who can pass up a cool memorial that is similar to the Washington monument in DC but it's in Texas so bigger (of course). We came on an afternoon during the hot, mid-June sun and there was not a soul there. The indoor museum was closed and we thought the whole park was closed at first, but no, it was just hot and most sane people were indoors. Hey, we're Minnesotans, we thrive in harsh weather conditions, mother nature be damned. We wandered around the grounds to see what this place had to offer. The monument with reflecting pond was cool to walk around, it is a really tall monument that can be seen for miles. Not a lot of stuff is built up around it though, so it feels way out in the middle of nowhere. It was also somewhat unnerving that we didn't see other people. A few more crazy people like us came after awhile and eased our nerves. It seems most people give a quick walk around the tower and then leave. Unfortunately, there was no battleship on the property as some other sites and reviews mention. That was a bummer, I would have gladly paid to take a look at that piece of history. That was kind of the ticket I used to get my family here, so once they figured out there wasn't a boat here, we packed up the car and left. Still a great piece of history that holds a special place in the heart of Texans (and the nation) everywhere. Interesting historical story to read about later too after visiting the site and seeing it first hand.

It was not the same place. I found the department chair to be unwelcoming, unsupportive, and unsocial to the point of being rude to her students and employees alike. She has left for a similar position at San Jacinto College. The culture of the school remains. I found them to be ageist, and seemingly more discriminatory against those with disabilities under the guise of a "culture of accountability". I was immensely disappointed.
