I have no idea how Ponchatoula made #1. I've never known it to be THAT bad.

Bogalusa on the other hand is a true shithole and we'll deserved of it's top 5 finish. Hammond is coming on strong though.

Yes Ponchatoula is the absolute worst. Schools are terrible, location to New Orleans and Baton Rouge is terrible. Out of control crime. Please do not move here and those who recently moved here leave immediately. Get out save yourself. If your considering moving here don't do it.

Definitely, think Lafayette should be in the bottom 20 based on traffic/drivers/cameras alone. Taproom is one of my most favorite bars though.

Surprised Metarie is that high and no Northshore in top 5 is something as well.
