I think being 30-45 minutes away from the entertainment and restaurants in New Orleans is better than what Lafayette has to offer. However, it’s been a while since I’ve been to Lafayette so I’m not sure. I’ll sit this one out.

Having the number 1 attribute for your "city" be the 2 hour round trip away from a place that has awesome restaurants and entertainment isn't a great selling point, IMO. What does the actual "city" have to offer?
