Baytown, Texas - Smell The Chemicals

[@enzigenes]

I visited Baytown two weeks ago. It's really not a bad place. It's a lot of families that live here. A lot of growth and development going on right. You can find many major retail stores, grocery, coffee shops, and more on garth road. Many new community homes are being built in the area of Garth Road and Wallisville Rd. There's a very nice Big Buceess right off the I-10. A new Shopping Mall is currently being developed off the I-10 and Garth Road which is going to increase property value. I didn't smell any bad chemicals while I was there for two weeks. There are 2 water parks there and also a nice artsy downtown art district area. It's a nice town 25 minutes from downtown Houston. Beach city is not far and you can go out fishing. There are even nice restaurants on the water with amazing views of the bay. This video wasn't a good video for Baytown. There's a whole lot more than what you guys showed here.

Sounds like Baytown.

[@mjswolfie9909]

It is not bad on certain sides. And it is definitely up and coming in the best areas

My friend Rocky and I used to go to the old town, climb on top of the buildings and smoke pot while watching the cars go by. We climbed up a drain pipe on the back of the very old building and hang out behind the facade on top of the building. I haven’t been down that road in years so I don’t know if the buildings are still there. I believe it was the center of the town at one time. We used to go to a lot of cool places and get high. I dropped acid for the first time at Milby Park on the corner of 225 & 610. That park was always filled with people laying around and getting high. I took 1/2 of a sugar cube and after 45 minutes I didn’t feel anything so I took the other half. That was about 2 in the afternoon. I got so high on acid I couldn’t leave. Rocky and I stayed there until 1 or 2am. No one else was in the park. I remember walking out of the park. It was totally dark. No moon, no lights. But when I walked under the trees the veins in the leaves illuminated. It was such an amazing sight. Acid really does expand the mind. I’ll never forget how incredible the visions were.

A chemical wasteland? Seriously? I've lived here since 1974 and there is no chemical wasteland here or bad smell. ridiculous assertion and untrue.

Haven't spent much time since I graduated in 1974. Was curious to see what you found...

Have lived in Baytown since 2014 and its surrounding areas for my whole life. Baytown has exploded in population and development in the past years. There are many things to do including the mall (original San Jacinto mall demolished and a new mall is being built in its place), Pirates Bay waterpark (amazing, everyone loves it), Showbiz theater, San Jacinto monument and battleground (does not get the recognition it deserves by the country), Lynchburg ferry, tons and tons of shopping centers and many types of foods to ranging from street vendors and taco trucks to all different types of foods like Chinese, vietanmese, Mexican, german, Italian, creole, everything. There are so many small businesses in Baytown, especially in the older part (past 146) but it also has an equal amount of franchises and larger businesses. We also have everything within a drive including the Methadist Hospital and a shit ton of different doctor offices. We have our own PD and FDs. Mailing services, libraries, a Lee community college, parks, anything you name it. The drive to Downtown Houston can depends on the time of day. Houston traffic is notoriously unpredictable. It could take you an easy 20minutes or it could take you and hour and 30 minutes. Just depends. This was a very unorganized and just thought dump. If you guys would like I could do a more organized explanation but all I can say is that Baytown is exploding in development. However,Baytown is literally built on refiners and chemical plants. Yes- you're more than likely to smell those chemical plants when close enough (especially exxon chemical plant off 146), however for the most part those refiners are away from the general population. That is the only huge downside to baytown. TO ANYONE WHO VISITS BAYTOWN, EXPLORE GARTH ROAD AND THE SAN JACINTO BATTLEGROUND.

Baytown Proud..born n raised..the name "Dirty Bays" , from the rappers at Screwed Up Click shop on I45.."screwed n chopped" was an H-Town invention..

[@karencasto5586]

You didn’t go down Garth road where all the new stores are. That’s mainly where the shopping is.

[@enzigenes]

This guy doesn't know where he's going. I just visited Baytown and it's not bad and has a lot to offer.

[@devetiawells5677]

Garth Road Alexander Highway 146 Are the main 3 streets you should’ve drove down

[@mjswolfie9909]

At 3:00 you pulled into the neighborhood I grew up in. I was born and raised in Baytown. Exxon never smelled to me other than a couple times and I’m 40 now. Pasadena was literally known as stinkadena when I was growing up so Exxon wasn’t bad compared to the plants along 225.

[@audra7422]

I live right down Baker rd and I don't smell the chemicals and my nose is very sensitive. Hispanics are the largest demographics, followed by whites.

[@willbygosh4887]

When we stayed in Houston a few months ago,I think we stayed at the microtel there across from the space center.

[@MX-CO]

What Route are Yall going Home? If you can Hit Gulf Shores Alabama, beautiful Area and It's a Super Pretty Drive along the Coast From There To Destin. And I think from Destin to Panama City Also.

[@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS]

Yeah we have done so many videos there in the past.. were going home long trip

[@MX-CO]

I spent winter of 2020 in Sugarland Just outside of Houston, and Went to Galveston, Port Aransas and all over Texas just like yall did. I thought about filming but I didn't really gave any knowledge about it, So it's very cool what you guys do. And takes balls!

[@paulaburgess8878]

All you done was drive in the old part of Baytown . All y’all doing is talking smack about a town you never been to before. Garth rd doing to I-10 have all the new business and start Bucks .

[@okn8t]

fr. this is literally old baytown. They didn't show any of Garth and the actual "Baytown" everyone knows.. and like you said talking shit about a city they don't know anything about. smh. STRAIGHT OUTTA BTX FR

I lived in Baytown for 16 years. Looks the same, just different business names 😂

[@jimmyburnett2245]

You were right, I have lived here most of my life and it is boring! If I wanted good food or entertainment I would go to Houston or Kemah...our local government is trying to make this an entertainment destination especially out by the Fred Hartman bridge but it's just wasting our money!

[@okn8t]

I disagree.. Baytown has exploded in population and it has developed so much in the past few years. Within the next decade it will probably be comparable to Sugar Land or Woodlands in terms of developed land.

[@deafbyhiphop]

Houston is incredibly boring

[@kg4021]

@@okn8t there is no way that Baytown will be anything like The Woodlands. For one Woodland's air quality is much better not to mention the forest scenery. The stores are much better like Trader Joes, Whole Foods, etc...The crime rate is lower in The Woodland's as opposed to Baytown. Baytown stinks, has massive amount of drugs and crime.

[@caliranger249]

Baytown tx is okay I like it when I was there people drive really good there lol

[@Mrshinojosa]

Born an raised in Baytown an yes it’s terrible with the chemical smells and sometimes they will have a stay in place order bc of chemicals in the air

[@yellowrose4717]

I grew up in Baytown. If you ask about the smell people will say it smells like money to them! It’s just the industry. Ranchers say cow crap smells like money to them.

[@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS]

cow poop isnt dangerous chymicals

[@kevinrichards3288]

The San Jacinto Mall there in Baytown is now an abandoned building all closed off just like many other shopping malls nowadays. The internet & the pandemic are what killed them.

[@okn8t]

Umm no.. I have lived in Baytown since 2014. San Jacinto mall started going downhill in the early midish 2010s. The pandemic is what destroyed it but it was already downhill. However, I I hate that it was demolished.

[@kevinrichards3288]

@@okn8t today all thaz left are the palm trees over where the rear Macy's entrance use to be at & the parking lot light poles. The whole building was demolished & hauled off to scrap not long ago.

@@kevinrichards3288 yeah it’s completely demolished rn. the new mall is already confirmed and designed. they haven’t broke ground yet though.

This is considered old Baytown. You should show new Baytown, that is where everything is at.

[@vysheslavuzumati1269]

Not really, the actual old baytown is down market street, they started off of baker and went all the way down main st.

[@okn8t]

@@vysheslavuzumati1269 What I mean by old Baytown is the Baytown before the population and development explosion. So around late 2000s. Not that many years ago, Garth road on the opposite side of the highway as the mall was just a long road to FM 1942.

[@Dld1985]

I was born there in 1950. Moved away in 1962. Still visit there every so often. You should of went out to Cedar Bayou that’s where all the mega mansion Exxon executives has their homes. That where I lived but that was before they build the mansions out there.
