Man, as a South Louisiana native and former 5A coach I could not disagree more. Moved to Northeast La several years ago. Absolutely love it. Aside from high school football, it's a sportsmen's paradise that offers superb fishing and hunting. The culture in NELA is based on a solid foundation of faith, family, and high school football. I respect the diversity of every part of this great state we live in. I say there are some good things happening in Ouachita Parrish. In example, Century Link, IBM, Duck/Buck Commander, Skyjacker, Coca-Cola, and Delta Airlines.

Great post.

People on this forum wold be jealous of where I live. I have my own swamp that has been cultivated and has some of the biggest bass in Louisiana in it: caught a 12 pounder 2 weeks ago. Had someone from waterpro down the road come out and check our lake and it's health. He goes around Texas, Louisiana, and Missisippi checking local lakes and ponds. He said ours was the best he had ever seen. In SWARTZ FREAKING LOUISIANA?? What?? Say it isn't so. This dump? I have crawfish and Bream along with bullheaded catfish. Turtles and bullfrogs galore with the bullfrogs singing their deep tune every afternoon. An occasional alligator. Then I have wildlife and woods for acres behind me that I can walk and see whenever I wish.

Nah, but it is a DUMP!!! Believe it or not North Louisiana has some of the wettest wetlands with a good rainfall that allows for great vegetation and a voluptuous wildlife. I love it here. Blessed beyond measure.
