My hometown has a weak economy, below par schools, and few cultural opportunities. But there's nary a hipster within 100 miles.

I grew up in Central so the BR burbs. It's a much bigger town than it was growing up in the 80s but most people that live there work in BR.

I would move back to Lake Charles, but I can't because the better jobs are in Texas.

NAL isn't cool enough yet to attract many hipsters.


I've already seen way too damn many last time I was there. Lowe Mill was crawling with them. They need to keep their asses in Birmingham and Nashville.

On that note, I'm glad more and more people are moving in to large urban population centers. That means cheaper land for me.

Instead of Opelousas, try Delcambre.

You'll think Opelousas was NYC.

"I failed in the city. For some reason, breeding hamsters and blogging couldn't get me a $3000/month flat downtown. As a result, I am moving back to the closed minded working class town of my grandmother to convert the retards to my way of thinking."

I think this bony vegetarian writer is basically advocating that super superior liberal uberintelligent people in glorious and perfect major cities that are transplants should move back to their stupid, oafish rural home towns full of racists and devoid of teeth or brains and convert people to the unrivaled, never wrong precepts of liberalism.

fixed it fer ya

It's a latin word that means "on this side of". It's the antonym of trans which is a latin word that means "across".


So, it's ok to appropriate the real latin (the ancient one) culture? WTF?

My hometown went from charming historic downtown full of nice people to a Wal-Mart white trash town in about a 20 year span. All the nice people left and Wal-mart killed the small businesses.

If I could move back to small-town North Louisiana without neither my wife nor I having to quit our jobs, we would do it in a heartbeat.

I enjoy Baton Rouge and the amenities being in a larger city can offer but frick this crime rate, frick this litter and frick this traffic.

The people from California moving to Texas are not liberals
Some of it depends on where in Texas they moved. My grandparents, who moved from Cali to Dallas were at least as conservative as the average Texan, if not more so. They were also, in actuality, just returning to where they grew up. The dirty little secret of the dreaded 'California invaders' is that a lot of them are just going back where they came from.

I think this is more wishful thinking than fact. I live in Hays county, TX... there aren’t just Liberals moving here from CA, there are WACK-JOB NUT-SO parasitic, cancerous Liberals moving from CA.

They destroyed CA, so needing a new host body.
