re: What are some things unique about your hometown?

not a single stop light or caution light. so traffic was a non-issue

We were called another city despite that city’s limits dancing around us completely and now getting sued to keep from being treated as an actual different city.

I grew up in a small town that had and still has a noon whistle. A lot of smaller towns in the midwest do.

A 19th century visitor described it as "a miserable collection of log cabins.". Opinions vary whether it has improved.

Did you go to LSU in the 70’s?

I am from Bogalusa too

Extreme hardheadedness. To a degree that defies logic. The mention of change is enough to fold most families.

We have Archibalds BBQ.

They build Mercedes M classes down the road (technically in town but only because our greedy politicians required it to be in the city limits for us to provide them with water. On a map there is like a 20' section that runs along the interstate connecting the plant to Tuscaloosa).

There is also a much hated University here. One that I went to and wish was 1/3 the size it is now.

My hometown does not have any RR tracks except by the one plant on the outskirts. Does not have a MLK or a bus station. And is the cleanest city I’ve ever been in.
