Corrections
Every listing here is drawn from the business's own page or the public record, but we get things wrong sometimes — a stale fact, an old owner, a business that reopened after we marked it closed. When that happens we fix the page and record it here instead of quietly editing it away. This page carries dates; the editorial pages themselves do not.
See something else that's wrong? Tell us — [email protected], or use the "Something wrong here?" link on any listing page.
| Date | What we had | What it is now |
|---|---|---|
| 2026-09-18 | Rooster’s listed under its old name and ownership, with an award attributed to the wrong year. | Renamed to Rooster’s Barbecue Co.; rewritten for the current owner (Gallardo), who reopened it in May 2025. Award corrected to Best Burger in Baytown, 2016. |
| 2026-09-18 | ExxonMobil’s Baytown refinery described as the largest in the country. | Corrected to fifth-largest in the U.S. by EIA capacity (Beaumont is fourth: 612,000 vs. 564,500 barrels per calendar day), everywhere the old ranking appeared. |
| 2026-09-18 | Population rounded to “call it 85,000” in several places. | Corrected to the actual figures everywhere: 83,701 (2020 Census) and 86,561 (July 2025 Census estimate). |
| 2026-09-18 | Goose Creek CISD described as having three high schools. | Corrected to six: three traditional zoned campuses (Lee, Goose Creek Memorial, Sterling) plus IMPACT Early College and Stuart Career Tech (specialty) and POINT (alternative), 23,308 students (Texas Education Agency, 2025–26). A handful of essays that say “three high schools” in a football or homecoming context were left as written — they correctly mean the three traditional zoned campuses in that context, not a claim about the district’s total. |
| 2026-09-18 | Houston Raceway Park listed as open. | Corrected to closed — demolished in 2023, along with Royal Purple Raceway. |
| 2026-09-18 | Thompson’s Fish Camp listed as closed. | Corrected to open — it reopened. |
