went to LSU but had a scholarship offer from Tech while in high school so I took a visit, that was the most boring and desolate little town I’d ever been to, at 17 years old :lol and I grew up in north Louisiana I was going to LSU no matter what but no way I’m spending those four years in Ruston, no wonder those German POWs were volunteering to go to the Siberian front when they got there

Cool story Baw! How long ago was that?
These days Ruston’s a really nice college town & BTR is ghetto boomer.

I have not experienced much in the way of anti-north La bias here.
Because no one in south Louisiana ever thinks about - much less talks about - north Louisiana.

I was in sales in N Louisiana for 20 years. I was given the opportunity to work the South Arkansas area also. Nothing in South Arkansas compared to Shreveport, Bossier, Benton, Haughton, West Monroe, Ruston, Monroe, Sterlington. Actually I had higher sales from Leesville to Alexandria than he had total south of Little Rock. It wasn’t even comparable, the quality of cities, people, job opportunities, and infrastructure.

No, not at all. I worked in S Ark for a few years. The average IQ had to be 25 points lower there. In the entire hospital, I could find only 3 RNs that had any sense whatsoever. The entire hospital was staffed with very low IQs. And the people in general were just R'ed.



Family trees don’t fork and there are Scarface levels of meth being used in rural Arkansas.

Cool thread. Is South Louisiana, coastal Mississippi & SoAl almost exactly the same?


I’d include southeast Texas in this group also. It’s got more of a Cajun influence than the Florida parishes region of South LA

East Texas, Shreveport and surrounding parishes are similar. The part of Arkansas that I was stationed in didn’t feel like North Louisiana at all.

Just say “retarded”. Jesus Christ. You’re not gonna get cancelled and it’s dumb as shite since you’re still saying it even though you don’t spell it out.

Based on the fact that this topic gets posted every month or so, I don't believe you. And it's always South Louisiana people posting it. It's like they're insecure for some reason. It makes them feel better about themselves by trying to cut us down. By contrast, if it weren't for LSU, y'all would rarely cross our minds at all.

As I said in another post, y'all trying to make us "not Louisiana" isn't the flex you think it is. We would get along fine without you.

All of the southeast is the same to me. Inch by inch hillbilly redneck paradise filled with oversized pickup trucks, MAGA/confederate flags, Cracker Barrel’s and non denominational churches.

Culturally, yes.

Half of it, yes.

If you mean lack of concrete and tall buildings, yes. Personally, I like all the trees and being able to see a sunrise and sunset.
