Is there a good place to buy one (even used) so I don't have to move mine all the way from Minnesota?
Are you with a radio group or ??? With the name DJGirl I was curious as to why you would move to SE TX for a job, etc.

You are making a big mistake moving down here.I had two friends from up north come down here. One lived in orange, the other lived in nederland and they both left before a year was up. People are friendly only if they know you and if you went to school here, otherwise its as closed-minded as you can get. You will encounter some racism here, as for port arthur it's is not all bad, my best friend lives in griffin park, i stayed a few months and then left. It was the nicest area, very quiet and peaceful..also green, wish all of PA was like that.

It is actually Griffing Park. :-) I drove through there a couple of years ago and was surprised at how run down it is now compared to what it was even in the '80's. PA has gone seriously down hill.
