But there’s no reason for some dumbass alter to tell a total stranger he’s failed at parenting bc his child has never driven on the interstate.


I agree. Spazzing on a message board is some incel behavior.

It’s not necessary in Metairie.


That's not the point. The point is to learn a life lesson, not how to efficiently get from point A to point B in this case.

Ok, let's say Bucktown.
bucktown - to get to downtown Nola

Vets to bonnabel to Metairie road to Canal - all the way down - takes 25 minutes

Interstate is 17 minutes but through town is not ghetto like in BR, so you don’t need the interstate

So why are you using the "fastest route" in BR, but not Metairie? No offense but I can't understand how you are this fricking stupid.

She’s moved the goalposts to “ghetto”

Which is an intelligent move since it’s all upper class utopia from Bucktown to downtown Nola

If you had to go 9-12 miles from Metairie what would be the “fastest way”
depends on where and what time of day - remember - there’s causeway, Clearview, cleary, transcontinental and then w esplanade, w Metairie, w Napoleon airline, the Earhart expressway and Jeff hwy, AND Metairie Rd

Baton Rouge does not have that many cross streets - all the streets converge to the interstate so they are prone to backing up just like the interstate

Well what just happened here

Everyone who made it to this point of the thread knew that ColoradoCock was a loser, so finding out that he is probably accounting for half the thread's responses isn't shocking.

BR has plenty of alternate routes, you just dismiss all of them as “ghetto”

in Metairie it’s a difference (which means subtraction) of 8 minutes

In BR it’s a difference of 20-30 minutes

In Metairie you can still get around in a decent amount of time if the interstate is backed up - in BR, if the interstate is backed up - you are screwed all the way around

My dad and I always stayed at a hotel at that exit in Gonzales for LSU football games. We'd eat at Mike Anderson's out there on Friday night, then watch whatever high school football was on TV. Get up and eat breakfast at a Shoney's. We drove in and parked at the bookstore warehouses, and walked to the game.

Your “Metairie” list has just as many “ghetto” sections since we’re in south LA

You should definitely stick to the interstate I reckon

I’ll take my chances on Cleary before Plank Rd

At least if I call the JP Sheriff they will come, unlike BRPD

So many parts of Clearview look like Florida Blvd what kind of delusional twilight zone you live in?

Take the Tanger Loop Road, goes straight to LSU. You can also bypass BTR and get on at the bridge if heading west.

You are applying you own personal situation to everyone in Baton Rouge and it’s fricking dumb. I legitimately feel bad for your kids.
