Looks like a slow enough day to ask for some OT help. I just moved to madisonville, so where do you baws out here get a haircut? Gym? Dry cleaning? Drink after work? Get new clothes? Any other places that are part of your staple list, please tell. Thanks

At home, at home, wherever the wife takes them, at home, wherever the wife buys them.

Aquistapaces for the best selection and cheapest prices on alcohol. Pardos, Gallagher's, Water Street Bistro, N.O. Food and Spirits for good food. There are many more, and cheaper, but the above are some of my favorites.

You have to think of Madisonville, Covington and Mandeville as one town. Everything is within 10-15 minutes.

Oh, and welcome to the least trashy part of LA. We're not "baws", we're gentleman.

I agree. Wife went to target yesterday and she said everyone in there was polite and had a good attitude. Hell, she even said one lady in the check out line asked for a manager so she could pay a compliment...

You should head to the Target around 3:30 on weekdays. Milfapalooza.

So only 10-15 minutes worth of low trash in the state? Damn...

Probably, but I said "least", not "only." There are five minutes scattered here and there as well.

I could poke around Georgia and deem almost all of that as trashy as well.

As stated below you have to think of Covington, Mandeville and Madisonville as one city. But you are not within 10-15 minutes of everything. Getting around can be a bitch depending on where you live. What part of Madisonville are you in?

Please elaborate, because I can guarantee you it's far different than Pontchatoula or Denham Springs or even Metairie.

Right. It's far less trashy than those I mentioned. Do you live there?
