A few weeks ago, someone mentioned in a thread that Kathleen Blanco thought Bogalusa was in Mississippi. I couldn't find that thread, so I started a new one. I couldn't remember who I was talking to more than ten years ago, but this morning it came to me.

I was living in Asheville and was at a Sally League game between the hometown Asheville Tourists and the Greenville Drive. After the game, I was able to visit with Matty Ott on the Greenville team for a few minutes. I had on my LSU cap. He asked me where I was from. When I told him Bogalusa, he said, "Shouldn't you be wearing a BAMA cap?"

I know where it is. Worked there a few days (travel, not my main place).

It is the Louisiana town with the highest ratio of heard it mentioned vs. seen it on a map, for sure.

Not surprising as it makes a strong case for the most depressing town in LA.

Know exactly where it is from years if dispatching trucks to pick up Weyerhaeuser loads.

It's very close to Mississippi and it is a crime town and very corrupt. Just due west of Poplarville, Ms. it's basically a 3rd world country there. There are some nice people from there but they tend to move to the outskirts of town in smaller communities

It’s a slightly less-depressing smaller version of Alexandria

You people have obviously never had Zesto or you'd all be flocking to that smelly town. IYKYK

I've been once for work years ago. Ate at a little Mexican place that was actually pretty good.

Around 1991 I was working for a supply house, and the paper mill ordered some material and requested that it be delivered ASAP. Since the warehouse guy was already out making deliveries, and I was the 'junior' sales guy, the clipboard was handed to me

These are the directions I was given, and I shite you not:

Cross the Causeway, go all the way into Covington. Right on 21. Go all the way to the end of 21, take a left. You'll know when you get into Bogalusa...when you smell the stink, take a left.

The guy giving me directions laughed, but he said I promise you'll find the mill. I did.
