re: Why do Slidell folks look so much worse than the rest of the Northshore

What I’ve come to realize is that trash is everywhere in Louisiana rather you are from the West Bank or Chalmette. What I’ve also come to realize is that great people come from all these places that we all shite talk.
Very true.
I tend to judge based on appearances,
but often pleasantly surprised by how nice and dignified even classy ugly people can be.

Too much Louisiana. Gotta take smaller doses

Slidell sucks, slightly above Bogalusa. Slidell is trashy, I snub my nose at you trashy fricks. I able to speak this way about the ‘dell, because I’m from tangipahoa parish.

Was Dr. Talbot still practicing, or had he lost his medical license by that point? A majority of customers at my fathers pharmacies by Slidell Memorial were pain management patients shopping around for the cheapest attic cocktail. He wrote at least 100 a day between 7 AM and lunch. Of those customers, the majority were not from Louisiana.
It was insane.
I remember joking with my dad one day about how awesome it would be to have to knock off at lunch every day because you had to go home and count money. He said, “ Son, he has three other clinics in New Orleans, Metairie, and on the Westbank. He leaves and does the second half of the day at one of the other three.”
Conservatively, it was 200 of those scripts a day being filled from his appointments at each clinic across the metro area, Monday through Friday. And that’s just one former army doctor with a $500/month strip mall office rental in four different locations. Boggles my mind thinking about the whole thing.
Point is to say that a majority of customers at his pharmacies were from Pearlington, Kiln, Waveland, and the occasional Alabama, or Florida rando.
I’m probably not in the majority here, but even though I grew up in New Orleans and only drove through Slidell on 10 East, Katrina made it better. People who had damage had money. The water stopped before it got close to neighborhoods near I 12 that would’ve had a harder time rebuilding. I might be wrong about all that, but that was my impression.

Nope no Mandeville
They’re 6-5A; Mandeville, Covington, Hammond, Ponchatoula, St Paul’s

West Bank is more in Mandeville/Madisonville and to the West. Chalmette mostly went to Slidell and Picayune. NO East people have been in Slidell since the early to mid 90s. They are well into their 2nd generation there.

Agreed
Nothing against Mandeville and Covington.
I’ve lived there. Great places but they lack what I want.
There is literally no nicer place for anyone to live for boating, fishing and hunting than Slidell.
I am in a beautiful place on the river and I can be out and back with a limit of specks within 3 hours. That includes fueling, ice, drinks etc.
I can be duck hunting and back before brunch.
I hang out with decent people. Real jobs that pay very well.
If you hang out at interstate truck stops, you’ll see trashy people but that’s the same everywhere.

Thank you.
Reading through this makes me wonder how really familiar with Slidell are those commenting. Or maybe they just swerve hard to find the pothole.

Dem pills baw. Back in 2017-2018, my buddy was with a pharmacist who told us one evening that the most subscriptions filled for oxy and other pills were in Slidell. No one town is that hurt.
Damn, I wonder if Netflix would do a special about that Pharmacist
