Houma likes to take prime retail space and put a fricking Wendy's in the slap dab middle of it

I guess the one 1/4 mile down the street wasnt good enough.

The stoplight certainly has not made traffic worse. I think helped a bit, as others have said. Bigger issues are the bridge openings and the lack of a dedicated left-turn lane signal for Hwy 21 southbound traffic. Much more frustrated with traffic on I-12 between 21 and 190.

My biggest beef is the lack of vision for the growth in school populations. STPSB has been in catch-up mode for more than 10 years. MES felt it initially right when my kids first started there in 2005. My oldest went straight from MES to MJH before Lancaster opened, which was sorely needed but which has been playing catch-up ever since. MJH is overcrowded, and MHS is exploding (>2000 kids this year). Pontchartrain and Tchefuncte too.

Still, there are NO definite plans for any more schools in western STP. CRAZY. Madisonville needs a high school. I've heard the school board is looking at shifting districts eastward to even out enrollment at Lakeshore, Fontainebleau, and Mandeville. That makes some sense at least.

Beyond that, the area probably needs another junior high and elementary. Lancaster at least has room to grow.

Given the existential issues south of the lake, I don't see the growth trend leveling anytime soon.

I can't imagine ever moving back.
