re: Freetown in Lafayette

Not really true.

I mean if I were a parent, I wouldn't want my daughter living there for sure but for the most part, it's not bad. A lot of cool stuff in walking distance.

I lived there for 3 and a half years. I loved it so much. The only reason we moved is because we found the perfect house in the perfect neighborhood. I miss that neighborhood though. It's got a perfect location to festivals, parades, etc.

We always felt safe. There was a lot of pedestrian traffic where I lived but it was never scary.

All you bastards who are saying it isn't safe and they would never let their daughter live there haven't experienced the neighborhood recently.

I tried saying this earlier. It's not dangerous at all.

Death will surely be the outcome if your friend moves to Freetown.

Incase it was misinterpretted I didn't mean the place was unsafe, asside from cars being broken into because they were unlocked that's the only issues, never once felt unsafe. That same stuff goes on in subdivisions everywhere, personally I like the area. There's an old man across the street that'll sit on his porch and play an acordian when the weather is nice and occasionally another neighbor has a backyard fiddle jam session.

Are you on Gordon Street?

That's cool.

Unless it interferes with my Barry White music while making sexy time, then not cool at all.

Close enough, my girlfriend lives by Gordon/General Mouton.

It actually is pretty damn cool, probably my favorite part of where she lives actually. It's not very often but it's a welcomed treat. Never loud/intrusive, pretty cool to hang out on the back patio, fire up the grill and have a few beers and just listen.
