Years ago that was a really jumping town, now it's pretty much a shadow of what it once was, its almost a ghost town. Why? Because several of the refineries were shut down and took the jobs that were there. I have some family down there that were involved in real estate, they can't unload anything because everyone left and no one is coming in. It's really sad to go there now and see what has happened. I'm not in the oil industry, but I can see.

PM me some info on your family that is in real estate down there if you dont mind. I have been looking for some land, and freeport has some pretty good surf (compared to Galveston). I would love to look into some land down there, that way we woudnt have to pay the rediculous rental fees just to have a get away.
