?? I'm guessing you have to deal with the usual rural LA bs but how is it overall? Better than Opelousas?

Son, Uzbekistan is a better place to live than Opelousas.

My friend I’ve been to Uzbekistan, and Opelousas makes it seem like the damn garden of eden.

There are some decent neighborhoods outside of Opelousas and you are closer to Lafayette. That being said, New Roads is probably better

Not a bad naming strategy for a Louisiana town.

If you like tattoos, baws, and single mothers, then New Roads is the place for you.

New Roads needs to build up their downtown/main drag area. If they could emulate what Natchitoches has done with their River area they could attract more commerce and things to do aside from just Satterfield’s

I was in a funeral procession up there last year. Every car on the highway ( maybe 20 -30 cars ) pulled over on the side of the road as we passed. New Roads to me, and I first went there 45 years ago, is a bit like stepping back in time. It still feels southern and not too run down . I’m a fan.

Why are we comparing New Roads to Opelousas?
Posted on 2/16/20 at 1:45 pm to BHM
Opelousas is the benchmark for Louisiana trashy imo. Not really comparing since I dont know very much about New Roads

Pretty good if you've learned how to code.

Opelousas is more thuggish than trashy. It definitely has trashy people, but it's more the secondary folk.

Looking at the map, is False River fed by something? It looks cut off

Does New Roads still have separate Mardi Gras parades for white and black folk?

STFU. You’re not even close to being accurate.
