Well S.La does have prop stop, so we are lacking in that respect.

There is good hunting all over but bigger deer killed in NE part around Tensas. You’ve got lakes and bayous all across north La.


Yep, there are some impressive deer up here. I have been in Texas the last 25 years but now live in Funroe and some of the deer here would cost a small fortune on ranches in South TX. Fishing is great. I don't really bass fish but the White Perch and bream fishing is off the hook. Duck hunting is not what it was in the 80's and early 90's but still legit. I love it here and the good thing is Hackberry is just a slightly longer drive than it was from my house in Houston.

The crime factor is not a reason to move to north La. traffic will slightly improve because there’s fewer people. Alexandria, monroe and Shreveport have significant crime for cities of their size. Just like south La people move to the burbs to avoid crime.

If you want to escape crime , consider Idaho.

It’s quite obvious you know nothing about good bundt cake.

Born in North. Live in South (BR). There is a reason a majority of the state’s population live along I-10 or below. The only thing I miss about North LA is my family. And most of the time I’m trying to get them to come see me.

Roads are better. Honestly not as much culcha, they love Jesus but they’re just Protestants, people up here can cook contrary to the OT’s narrative.

Only bad thing is they get weird about no alcohol sales on Sunday in some places and are a little too kid friendly. Otherwise it’s fine. Get over yourselves, insecure baws with your 150’s.

At least you came from smart genes..
It’s obvious you choose not to use them.

What about good public schools? Generally speaking

No such thing as good government schools. Of the government schools however, Ben franklin in Nola is the best. Unfortunately you graduate as a SJW of epic proportions. Go to a good catholic school and you’ll be ok.

from Bastrop, Funroe area,


My wife is from Bastrop so I can definitely attest to this.
Good people up there except for the Six Flags over Jesus crowd. The arts and music scene are good, they have good restaurants, the Ouachita River(especially with all of the talent out there on Sundays). It Just sucks that they have a shite economy, Jamie Mayo and Brenda Shelling.

ETA: if you do move to Shreveport, you can have this as your neighbor if she’s not still locked up...

I’ve lived in South, Central, and North La. No it’s not that bad, although it did get much worse up here after Katrina when the refugees never returned home. Youll find good people and shitty people in both parts though.

If you're moving from south Louisiana, why would you stay in Louisiana at all?

If we're going by cultural differences here, everything from Pine Bluff, Ark. to Alexandria should be its own state because there isn't a gnat's hair difference in the culture of those regions.
