Really sad what that town has become. I graduated in 2002 and it was nothing like this.

Enjoyed the month I spent in Ville Platte in 1994. Did a rotation with Dr. James Ardoin and felt I I got to meet the whole town. Unfortunately tragedy hit a few weeks after I left as Dr. Ardoin died in a helicopter crash. Sorry to hear the town is facing tough times

Like a lot of towns, the normal middle class folks that was the reason for Ville Platte’s charm has basically high tailed it out of the city and live way on the outskirts. It’s a shell of its former self.

That's so sad. It seems every time we eat at El Charro on the main drag the entire VPPD is in there having lunch. The officers all look so young.

Nice little town. Had a friends dad buy the cable system there back in the 80's. Would go visit from time to time. Sold it in the 90's I believe. Hottest crawfish I ever ate was at the Jungle Dinner Club.
