In the '80s the area south of BR was known as "Cancer Alley"

Now people are moving there... Funny how some demographics are worse than cancer

Liberals still call it "Cancer Alley" but they refer to basically the land along the river in the "River Parishes," from Br basically to New Orleans. Much "academic scholarship" written on that. As for Beaumont area it does seem depressing driving though there but I think it just thinks its in La.
