Port Arthur, Texas
I guess almost everyone who comes from a relatively obscure city or town is somewhat more interested in the movie when their home town is mentioned in a movie; I know that I do.
When Roy was getting ready to depart Rachel's house, he asked her where he could send her share of the money, Rachel's answer was something to the effect, "Port Arthur, Texas ... on the Gulf Coast." Also, near the end of the movie, she is seen outside outside a small house with her kids on a beach (definitely not near Port Arthur, Texas). At the very end of the movie she is talking with someone on the phone and she says in response to a question that she is living in Port Arthur. Without going in to detail, this scene makes it even more clear that the place was not Port Arthur.
The only other times I have heard Port Arthur mentioned has been in movies or documentaries about or relating to Janis Joplin. I have the following question:
Was the mentioning of Port Arthur coincidental, or was there some reason for using the name of this location?
The United States always does the right thing -- after all other alternatives have been exhausted.
