“Great hunting and fresh water fishing” in this context means “ain’t shite there but pine trees and bayous”

For whatever reason the hottest girls at LSU for the 16 years I was there were from Bastrop, Funroe area, and then Eunice. Flip flop the order and that’s not denying someone was from somewhere else wasn’t great. On average that Eunice, Ville Platte,
And that area were pretty hot
There's some good genes in those parts. Eunice is like ground zero for hot Cajun girls (at least the ones who leave Eunice are hot). North Louisiana has a fair number of tall pretty blondes and brunettes since they have a little more German and other Northern European stock where as South Louisiana is largely French and Italian.

N. LA is basically West Mississippi.
Great for hunting and freshwater fishing...
Other than that it has the personality of a bundt cake.
The question is whether that is a personality you want to confront every day of your life

Okay, It’s western eastern northern Mississippi

Yes. If those things sound good to you, just remember, that is literally ALL that is there. There is NOTHING else there, period.
Are you retarded? There's a metro with several hundred thousand people, a metro with around 100k and a college that's almost doubled in size in the last decade. I'm not here to white knight for North LA, but youre acting like the whole region is equivolent to Wisner. That's like saying Boutte is what represents South LA.

Ruston, Bossier City, and Alexandria have decent schools, but most of the schools are still pretty bad. The vast majority of Louisiana is extremely poor.

The only good thing that comes out of south La is Saints football. For the love of all mankind, we get it, y’all are cajuns, you don’t have to remind us every time y’all speak, we don’t care. South Louisianians are the only ones that have to try and compare the 2, we don’t care up here, we just a bunch of baws chewing on pine needles.

I don’t think I ever met a chick from Eunice that wasn’t good looking. I also didn’t stalk chicks walking out of Jenny Craig meetings.
My experience at LSU was wow those Eunice girls are hot and I still use that as my well I’ve seen better in the Quad argurment.

Surprised nobody has mentioned traffic yet. The traffic and crime are the two main reasons I am not sticking around South LA and am curious about North LA.

Boutte is more representative of the vast majority of South Louisiana than Shreveport/Bossier is representative of the vast majority of North Louisiana. Granted, Shreveport/Bossier also still kinda blows. There's probably more great restaurants and bars within 20 miles of Boutte than there is within the entire Shreveport Metro area.

It's been stated...depends on where. I spent 3 years in the small bible thumping hell that is Monroe and was miserable.
In the flip side I now live in Shreveport which certainly ain't as bad as people on this board make it out to be. There's crime, but I don't live in a neighborhood where it effects me. There are enough things to do that I'm entertained every weekend, but it's not the overhyped and overcrowded festivals like the ones in NOLA have become. There is a downtown with enough bars to keep me interested and no traffic whatsoever. In 30 mins I can be taking the boat out on the families land outside of Mansfield. I miss the south, but the living really isn't bad up here.

I’ve been all over south Louisiana and the only places that really impressed me were Northshore, Lafayette and some parts of the FL parishes. All of the places I just listed have horrible traffic and are expensive to live in though. Basically everything along hwy90 from Lafayette to Nola is total crap. Same with the towns along 190 from BR to Opelousas.

There's an old saying:
If you ain't havin' fun in Shreveport, you're not trying very hard.
If you ain't havin' fun in Baton Rouge, you ain't tryin'.
And if you ain't havin' fun in New Orleans, you're dead.

Those places look like shangrila compared to most of the pockets of civilization in the Delta or along I-49.

How’s the Haughton area? I’ve heard good things about Bossier. Also Desoto Parish doesn’t seem bad either. Northwest LA trumps Northeast LA easily right?

Good place to raise a family, but not somewhere a hound single person should live. There's the chain type things for kids to do, but not really adult entertainment. Good schools, nice neighborhoods, etc.
