Not at all a hate thread. I had spent some time this week with a representive from some place called Stine lumber and he was from out there. We were all talking O&G and affects on our territories and he was saying Lake Charles was seeing the biggest boom in their history. Billions in investment, lots of new jobs and such.

That's great news for the state. I guess I just hadn't paid attention. The only thing I know about Lake Charles, is the interstate slows down, there is a very high bridge, and the Darrel's Special is worth the side trip.

But bravo Lake Chuck, good to see that area doing well.

The single largest investment ever by a foreign company on US soil is happening in Lake Charles/Sulphur

There are some large multi-year projects started and several more coming. We aren't in the "boom" phase yet but we are right on the cusp.

It's weird how things are being built everywhere. It's like BR.

The ethane plant is a go. The big Sasol project will not happen. Never.

Why is the bridge so high? What goes/went underneath it and to where?

Stine Lumber was a big deal back in the 80's. I did maintenance on their computer systems back then. They had stores all over south LA. Then Home Depot and Lowes took over.
