I was incredibly homesick for 2 years. As family and friends came to visit, more and more moved here. Met other La natives in the area and it’s like a secret club We get together frequently to watch games, hang out, enjoy home cooked La foods, etc.
It makes me sad to visit NOLA or BR now. The traffics is horrific, infrastructure below par and I swear customer service IQ drops 20 points just crossing the border. Its just not how I remember it anymore.

This is what people don’t get. Suburbs in other states, hell even inner cities, aren’t full of the number of idiot people you have to deal with like in Louisiana.
I spent a few days in downtown Detroit and I swear service was twice as good as Nola.
Every store I go to here is chick fil a level service. Every place in Metairie is “our shake machine be broke.”

I spent my day having to call both the city clerk of court where I live and the BR city clerk of court.
One was extremely pleasant, helpful, and knowledgeable.
The other seemed annoyed that I had the audacity to even call them and interrupt their day.
Care to guess which was which?

That’s a Geaux Tigers.
And I don’t feel like I’ve been too harsh on LA in this thread. Just a headache of a day and needed to vent.

Oh no doubt. Most of the complaints have been fair ITT
ETA: I wish I could find that original thread where the dude claimed “That’s a geaux tigers” was an actual popular LSU catchphrase. shite had me rolling

Same. The gif with Christoph Waltz gets me every time.

This was well versed - but, I didn't hint at racism. I directed it to the fact that, Alabamaians as a majority, don't like integration of outside ideas or other influence. That was the point. That's why I pointed out the backgrounds of a white man, a polynesian man, and an african-american, in effort to drive the point home that it has nothing to do with race, rather, willful ignorance on many issues - especially education.

I had to deal with a friend's death in another state. He had no family, so another friend (who our friend had named as his executor/power of attorney/legal sayer of how it's gonna be before his death) and I made arrangements and flew to retrieve our friend's effects, deal with his affairs, and return his remains.
The first thing we did was go to the coroner's office at 8 am when they opened. From when we walked into the coroner's office to when we walked out was approximately 20 minutes. She was expecting us and when we told the clerk why we were there, the coroner of the county our friend died in brought us into a private room, explained what she could tell us, had all the paperwork we'd need to retrieve the remains printed and ready, had our friend's personal effects that were on his body packaged up for us, and gave us her condolences as she helped us conduct our business in a professional, swift, and courteous manner.
When we left, we looked at each other and both basically said 'it doesn't happen like that in Louisiana'. We didn't really know what to do because we were both used to how this shithole runs and had planned to spend all morning dealing with crapbag government workers. It was shocking how competent civil servants can be.
I'd planned to be there two days based on how difficult I knew things are in this state. We got finished so quickly because of competence that I moved my flight up and came home less than 24 hours after we landed.

I ended up getting my marriage license in Port Allen because we got fed up trying to get it at the CoC branches in BR

Dominican isn't second tier. You do well at Dominican you'll do well in any college as long as you are responsible.

I'm a NOLA native, but the only reason I still live in LA is because of my wife's parents. I have a great job but wouldn't have a problem finding one in any other state. I am concerned about my kids going to any school in La. public or private. Tulane and LSU are both located in shitholes and I won't consider them going anywhere else in the state. There's a better than 50% chance they'll move elsewhere.
