What is the story with Vidor Texas?

Spinoff from the outsiders thread--there seems to be quite a story with Vidor Texas. I have only been to Texas once, and my trip took me through there. I had lunch at the whataburger in Vidor and thought that it was a rather unremarkable and somewhat run-down place.
What am I missing? Can Texas baws bring me up to speed?
On a side note, I liked Beaumont. It has a cool downtown area, almost frozen in the early 20th century. Texas has never struck me as a vacation destination, I guess that's why I have never really been there despite living fairly close to it.

Last I heard was that someone was murdered there and some Vidor higher ups refused to investigate/prosecute.

It's known as the most openly racist city. They even conveniently cut the cable (AKA had a technical difficulty) when CNN was airing a story on how racist the city was years ago.

Not great for black people

Vidor used to be a sundown town with KKK ties a long time ago. Couple that with the Jasper Texas dragging years ago and people are still scared of it based purely on reputation.

I feel the same way at times
Country Texans are cool but not like a lot of those towns are tourist destinations.

Place known mainly for the KKK. Many years ago there was a guy in Lafayette named Darrell Flinn with a public access tv show on Acadiana Open Network where he'd dress in his outfit and burn crosses live on the air. I believe he moved to Vidor at some point to continue his "work" there.

You visited the part of Texas that is virtually part of SW Louisiana.
