Why do Slidell folks look so much worse than the rest of the Northshore

Because it’s full of poors

Eden Isle is one of the more sought after places in the entire state.

Slidell is the leesville of south La

Among other things, I blame I-59 that gives easy access to people from Pearl River, etc. Sort of like Hammond with I-55. Mandeville and Covington were mostly populated by people moving north and very little pressure from the north while Slidell and Hammond had lots of folks moving south.

Take any random exit on I-55 or I-59 and the folks look like your average Slidell or Hammond resident.

Eden Isles here, want to bet I don’t look my age. I am older then 60

A few years ago, I heard this exchange between two black folks at our local hospital cafeteria. For context, the guy is a huge obnoxious loudmouth.

"(sort of jokingly) Say, girl, I heard you old man is in the hospital, maybe I need to pay him a visit."

"Shut up."

"(much less jokingly than the first) I heard he had an episode or stroke while in there, what happened?"

"I showed him your picture."

She said it without hesitation and it was the first time I ever saw the guy shut up.

Indian Village is pretty damn nice

Slidell is the Kenner of the Northshore.

Retirees from St Bernard

Lots of subdivisions off military road are nice, such as crossgates, French branch, quail ridge, and a few others.

Also, like others have said, there aren’t many nicer places in the entire state than Oak Harbor, Lakeshore Estates, and Eden Isles.

Slidell was a nice city before Katrina, but a lot of shitty people moved to Slidell after Katrina.
