re: Most depressing small town?

Zachary, LA. Ain't shite to do or eat here, unless you want to wait over an hour for a table or go to a fast food joint with folks that have bigger "IDGAF" attitudes than you'll find at the same place in Baton Rouge. If you ever decide to move here, make sure you have everything you need before coming home at night. Oh yeah, and the schools will be mostly minority in the very near future, so there's that. If you want to see a prime example of what a "victim of its own success" looks like, look no further.
