I take that back... the new ordinance basically only allows the sale of beer and wine coolers

hard liquor is still illegal to purchase in Pineville... still have to go across the Red for that

Holy crap...I figured that beer and wine was legal and that the new laws allowed for liquor! That's the case with most small Arkansas/Texas towns around Shreveport I see on the news. So literally until December of 2018 you could not buy a damn beer??? and 40% of people wanted to keep it that way?

actually it was the other way around. He basically ran off any profs that had Calvinist leaning theology. But, it was pretty much political in nature and you hit the nail on the head with the narcissist projects at the expense of campus infrastructure.

Family is from up there, they are Teetotalers. Grandfather used to have a 7up can wrap for his beer so no one would know he was drinking.
I'm guessing cozies weren't around back then.

You can drive two miles to Ellick and buy whatever you want. It's not some great hardship for the degenerates to overcome.

My girlfriend went there 08-13. I followed her up there and went to LSUA for a little while before I transferred out. I couldn't deal with either Alexandria or Pineville anymore. Just terrible places to be.

She absolutely hated it too. There is absolutely nothing to do there, Pineville was dry then, I am assuming that hasn't changed. I never heard any of her friends say they liked going to school there.

I was briefly recruited to play baseball there.

But then I realized I wasn't really that great at baseball and I would have had to pay tuition

Oh I know this... which further proves how dumb it is to keep Pineville dry in any sense

but the city decides to lose a ton of money to a neighboring town to make a stupid moral stance..... sounds like an excellent group of people to be surrounded by

I went there as a freshman and drank more there than I did after I transferred to NSU. Because Pineville is centrally located, Wednesday night we would be in Lafayette and Thursday night we would be in Natchitoches. I had a good time while I was there. The girls in the dorms rules were not that great, but people found ways around them.

You're absolutely right about the Calvinist thing.

LC does have a remarkable very old-fashioned library.

Serious question. If you go to a religious private school all your life and you take religion every year. What is there left to teach when you get to college? I can understand classes like "history of religion". I went to catholic school for four year, it seemed like they taught the same shite every year.

History of Ethics, Philosophy of Ethics, and my favorite class of my fourth semester at LSU: Alternatives to Judeo-Christian Thought. The first textbook was Thomas Paine's Age of Reason.

I graduated in the 90’s. I chose it for different reasons, raised catholic but never really had anyone preach at me. Turns out it was a good place for me at that time of my life.
The professors I had were awesome and I learned a lot. More about myself as it was a difficult time in my life outside of school.
I’ve heard it has gone down hill since then as some of the awesome professors I had left under difficult circumstances.
Not for everyone,but I didn’t need to be partying at that particular time
Otherwise, I can’t really find much good to say about living I central Louisiana
