You ever go to tunk's?

There was an old lady waitress there. She spoke like 10 languages.

She thought me and a coworker were a couple. Coworker was a lesbian so it was pretty comical for us.

Is this Alexandria's way of encouraging drivers to exit the interstate and experience the traffic circles?

You obviously never experienced a romantic weekend in Alexandria.

The telephone poles are in Pineville. The creosote in Alexandria is a mountain of cross ties.

Not sure about Cameron.
It was the 1981 or 1982. Maybe a hurricane took it out and was rebuilt further inland.

The worst smell on any Interstate is the Harris stockyards in I-5 in CA near Coalinga. Nothing else is even close.

The old chemical plant in Sterlington was the worst I ever smelled and I grew up in Bastrop, home of Stink Creek.

Sterlington 29th most toxic city in US

I haven't been in a decade because it stinks. Apparently it still does, just a different flavor. I really feel for some of the CENLA folks that thinks they live in God's Country.

And as they say down there, you know what piggies smell like? They smell like money.

Not 100% positive, but I believe Rita took it out... I know if you were in Hackberry in the early 2000’s and the wind shifted to blow that smell your way, you were in for a bad time.
