"Great American Detour" Grabbing Headlines in Texas
The Port Arthur News caught up with Lauren and Tyler on their swing through Texas.
From the article:
From the moment Lauren Cerre stepped off the big Greyhound bus in Port Arthur, her nose for news got a good whiff of the city that lives and breathes in the shadow of the petrochemical industry.
The 25-year-old journalist from San Francisco was in Port Arthur this week to capture the concerns of young people across America. In Port Arthur, she interviewed young people, ages 18 to 25, on a variety of topics including air pollution in a city that is experiencing one of the largest industrial boons in the nation.
“From the taxi driver to the store clerk at the convenience store, everyone is aware the odor and air quality of Port Arthur. It’s just a matter of how they deal with it,” Cerre said during a telephone interview Thursday.
Port Arthur is one of 10 U.S. cities included in Current TV’s Vanguard Special, “The Great American Detour.” The show will air on Current TV in early October at a yet-to-be-determined date.

Amazing, Magical Journey
Limbeck's got an album that has been called "THE Roadtrip Record of All Time." It might have something to do with the fact that on it they mention almost every city and highway in the contiguous U.S., but it also could be because it's just plain good to listen to on the road. Their newest, self-titled album is also getting similar rave reviews ... maybe they're in competition with themselves for the best roadtrip record. Who knows. To hear more from them go to Limbeck.net or just search Limbeck right here on Current.com! Limbeck's got an album that has been called "THE Roadtrip Record of All Time."
