Ask the Enterprise about public safety concerns in Beaumont
Beaumont residents with questions about safety, noise, flooding or traffic problems in their neighborhoods now have a place to ask them: the Enterprise. Neighborhood Watch is a new column focused on the specific concerns residents have where they live, not another general public safety feature. Have questions or concerns about loud trains, drainage problems or crime in your neighborhood? Send them our way, and we’ll try to find answers. RELATED: Newton County burn ban now in effect Email Beaumont Enterprise public safety reporter Megan Zapalac with your questions. In your email to megan.zapalac@beaumontenterprise.com, include your name, neighborhood and questions or concerns. Questions can cover several public safety issues including crime, unsafe intersections, flooding, road conditions and more. The Enterprise will use reader concerns to talk with residents and officials, track down information and explain what is happening. The column will publish every other Sunday. The Oct. 11 installment will look at railroad safety and noise concerns in Beaumont’s North End neighborhood.

Five years ago, the other downtown museums joined in to create Museum Madness Week. This year, so many organizations wanted to be involved that the CVB designated October as Museum Madness Month. Christle Feagin, director of the Texas Energy Museum, said the initial collaboration with the Art Museum of Southeast Texas was a way to promote both institutions. “You want people when they come downtown to have as many things as they can to go to,” she said. “If come here only for this and don't know the art museum, it's a perfect draw. You see people outside. It looks fun. It's cross promotion as well.” Downtown visitors on Oct. 17 will find downtown packed
