Best things about Alexandria, La

Crossing over the city line on your way out

That it's not pierrefart

Seeing it in your rear view mirror.

Give me a minute to think about it. Actually, give me a month.

No white people at the gas station when driving through

White gravy

I-49 N,S

Hotel Bentley is kinda cool. The town peaked a long time ago, along with a lot of other towns that size.

I grew up there before moving to Baton Rouge. It's a nice little town, good place to raise a family. But there are very limited things to do compared to BR and Laffy.

Some of the good places:

BJs Pizza
The Cottage
Critics Choice
Hokus Pokus liquor
The Bentley
Finnegans Wake
Oriental Wok
The zoo is decent
Swamp Daddy's Crawfish - better than Sammys or Tony's in BR

There's a local theatre company called Lagniappe that does great shows.
