So tell us about the rednecks in Lake Charles

I’ve heard my share from friends .. hoping for Eddie myself.

Also it’s not a bad place to raise a family .. we’re in the country but close enough to Lafayette for things we can’t get here.

It was always an agricultural parish.
North Vermilion around NVHS was rice fields around Leroy. Leroy had a country light, oilfield business at the corner, church, and breaux country store. One of my family members was instrumental in either donating some land or selling it cheap to the parish for the school.

Oilfield business did help it in the 70’s.
Never grew beyond an agricultural parish.

When I would visit my grandparents especially the winter as a kid I took a shotgun out, took my grandfather’s lab, and walk the fields shooting ducks. There was really no one out there except a few farm houses.

Back then the kids like my cousins went to Indian Bayou.

Grandfather, only spoke French and didn’t know what weed was. Cut down some weed plants on his land and tried to burn the plants. That was really a truly interesting day for him. Lol!!!

My grandfather also worked for Emory Sonnier who owned a lot of land and Phillips 66 distributor. Emory, left my family a lot of land as a Thankyou for my grandfather, grandmother, aunts, and uncles working for his businesses.

My grandfather flipped a fuel truck by the court house in Abbeville leaking fuel on the grounds 3 or 4 times over his career.

Then he retired from farming, driving fuel trucks for Emory Sonnier, and drove garbage trucks for the parish. Back then they had front load cans every so often for people to dump trash. Yup, he flipped a parish garbage truck around the court house in Abbeville a few times.
Judges, never did anything to him as he knew all the locals back then.

He also found a few dead bodies dumped in cans back in the drug era of the 1980’s. He got use to seeing dead bodies which most were people from Lafayette illegally dumping dead bodies by the trash cans.

Maurice, was just the city bar, church, a small restaurant, and convience store. Been to the bar as a kid many times as my super cool uncle was also an alcoholic. He was well liked.

French speaking residents went to Abbeville or Kaplan vs going to Lafayette for medical care and shopping.

Now you have more residents on the North side and North Vermilion is suppose to be a great school.

Maurice, has grown from a small town that was a speed trap to almost a town closer to a small city that is still a speed trap.

Hard to pick. Neither really has the right haircut. A trip to the barber could take this election!

Blackie had the `brief encounter`
Euda(yooday)was the sheriff
