Good morning, Beaumont.

Former homeless veteran Dennis Simpson now lives in a new apartment—furnished with a Christmas tree, a bed, and kitchenware provided by Barbara Wilson of BAW Resale & Interiors Warehouse—as he prepares to celebrate the holidays.

A group of Beaumont mothers turns to Surviving Parents of Southeast Texas, a support network of over 400 members, to share their grief and find strength during the holiday season.

They meet regularly to ease the pain of loss and gain comfort in shared understanding (a safe space for healing).

Beaumont Public Health released inspection reports from Dec.

1 to Dec. 13 showing all inspected restaurants earned A grades despite minor issues like rusted shelving and unsanitized towels; several problems were corrected on site.

Holiday travel in Beaumont remains light with only a slowdown on southbound US 69 near Gladys Avenue.
