FIFY.

No one who drives on Hwy 90 from Lafayette to New Orleans enjoys any part of that trip. Between construction from Lafayette to New Iberia, speed traps in Jeanerette and Patterson, an overpass that seriously tries to break your vehicle in Franklin, driving through Morgan City on an elevated road that enhances the ugliness of an old city, and sketchy troopers after every elevated section from Morgan City to Raceland, that is one of the most godforsaken stretches of highway in this state, which is really saying something.

Is on the WEST bound side.

During the week days 9-5. I've NEVER seen Marshalls on Friday afternoons or Sunday Evenings.

No clue what you're talking about.

Some refer to it as Morgan Shitty. I'll give you that one.

Nope. My jeep feels like a shuttle taking off if I push it past 75mph. The tires have the speedometer off so I usually hit cruise control at 74 in the right hand lane and enjoy the smell of burnt sugar cane for 90 min.

It sure as hell beats sitting on the basin.
