pandering for political gain, especially the way he did, is bad. he may not be a "bad guy" in your mind, like he is a nice person. but his politics helped accelerate Franklin running into the ground.

No. Went there once and I thought it was on same side as truck stop further down. Full of zombie people dancing with glow sticks fked up on XTC. The one across from truck stop was something else.

A lot of the locals in my hometown are like that with our representative too because his mom was a school principal and his dad is an ex mayor. The guy has passed dozens of regulations that have slowed down economic development in this state and helped his donors but he's still "a good ole baw" because his dad was a mediocre mayor and his mom was their principal.
That's why I refuse to believe in the whole "Louisianans are victims to corrupt politicians" conspiracy. There's plenty of people around here that are dumb enough to put people like this in office.

Willing to bet there is about 15 years of difference between anyone in this conversation with personal knowledge of Franklin.


What do you mean?



I think he means there is a lot of people talking about a place that they knew 15 years ago and not from people who actually live here now. I love to hear or read about whats going on here.

15 years was not that long ago.....I'm willing to bet Franklin is still the same as it was 15 years ago.....probably worse but not by much

my Dad is from Opelousas and my step mom is from jeanerette

you can easily substitute the name Franklin for either one of them and it is still the same sad story
