Used to have a farmer's market on Foreman Drive about 2 blocks behind Lafayette High behind "Corner Pantry". I forget which days of the week they were there though. Maybe Tues and Thurs?
i saw that online. your post is past tense. Is the farmer's market no longer happening or are you just unaware?

forgot to ask... what is your favorite nursery for those of you who do your own gardens? Im going to start with herbs that I can grow in pots.

The landlord said no one uses a strip of land and he will check with the other tenant to make sure they dont mind. So, for now... I dont have permission to plant in the ground.

So you're moving to the hippie / 45 year old still a ULL student - area. Blue moon and all the downtown bars / festivals are within a stone throw. Shoulda moved out to Finn's high dollar area....

I am just unaware if it is still active. I was in the area about 4 months ago and the tables are still there and look to be still kept up. Seems like if it were abandoned, they would look that way. I would assume it is still active.

Learn a few phrases and you'll be fine.

Start with "Like wow, dude". Also "far out, dude". And then theres "damn, dude" and on and on.

Whole nuther culture down there... I see you fitting in just fine.

For the best jumbo lump crabmeat I've ever bought, go to Chez Francois on Evangeline Thruway right at the RR tracks not far from I-10.


Best to bring your Uzi sub-machine gun when in that area. Since you're gonna be armed, stop at Little Alberts Fried Chicken and/or Momma's Fried Yard Bird.

Fat Pats

This is my favorite burger in Lafayette. Better then SouthSide and Judice Inn in my opinion. Some like it, some don't.

there is a fine nursery on johnston and holden that seems very in tune with the seasons.

Rous' on Bertrand was originally scheduled for an August opening but it looks like it will beat that mark.

I second Max's pool hall for a burger.

Try the French Press since you are in that area

Are you serious? I've been going there for years and years and years and know a lot of other people who go there, as well. Not a single problem. Never even saw any suspicious folks hanging around there. Only people there or in the parking lot are customers and people who work there. It's a pretty busy area with all the traffic on the Evangeline Thruway.
