re: Is every small town in Louisiana more or less exactly the same?

In our small town when Braxtylynne ends up quitting baseball his freshman year of high school he turns into a preppy redneck that loves rap music. He lets everyone in the Rouses parking lot know.

It's like taking a bunch of threads about trashy stuff and mashing them together.
I’m fairly positive that the OP just wanted to make another unfunny travel ball thread with a stupid name that doesn’t exist without putting it in the title. So he took the scenic route.

None of our parents are fat.
Suck it hater
P.S.
She had completely forgotten about grocery stores smelling like fishing docks.

Unless poverty is truly painful, it takes a lot of willpower to pull yourself out of it. It takes discipline and drive. It’s easy to suck on the govt tit and live in relative comfort. Food available, entertainment, lodging. And it goes unappreciated.
Unless you have skin in the game it’s hard to really care.
There is a lot of truth to this. Plus, if there is any way to fix these problems, this is the best way to present the situation and see if change can be accomplished. Instead, for too many people, it just devolves into a racial issue and no progress is made.

Farmerville has one public high school, a 'Christian' school, and a charter school.
Still full of dumbasses.

Does every small town/city in Louisiana just about fit this description and check these boxes? 40% Democrat Dilapidated buildings that are falling down Shitty public school or two and then a really wannabe preppy private school but fall significantly short of the academic prowess of public schools in other states. But you better not tell the parents sending their kids to these schools because they think Opelousas Catholic is a Harvard prep. Bad roads No jobs, no industry, no local economy Abandoned homes About 70% of the population living off of some form of government assistance A huge drug epidemic A travel ball league with fat parents, who swear Braxtylynne is going pro A really shitty McDonalds, BK, Sonic, and/or Popeyes that’s full of ‘employees’ with no sense of customer service whatsoever. They don’t want to be there and would be considered unemployable by almost any standard if they were in a more educated part of the country. Missing anything?
You missed the church fair

Are Covington, Mandeville, and Madisonville considered small towns?
Posted on 7/28/19 at 8:05 am to genuineLSUtiger
Not sure what meets the definition of a small town, but there are some towns that don’t meet the description of the OP
Madisonville, Pierre Part, Ruston etc etc

Covington, Mandeville, and Madisonville are majorly Republican. I guess that’s why they are considered nice areas.

Add Prairieville and St. Francisville. There are plenty of prosperous towns and small cities in Louisiana that are the total opposite of what he described.
I’d argue that most of the affluent suburbs, many of which are incorporated and thereby are a city/town, are middle/upper middle class Republican run governments with the highest rated school districts in the state.

Every small town everywhere is like that. You think Hesston, Kansas is any better?
Posted on 7/28/19 at 10:05 am to TDcline
since the governor has run the petroleum industry out of the state they are deteriorating rapidly

You'll find a few in Coastal Maine, in Vermont and Coastal Ak that aren't. One of the advantages of relative isolation and/or low population density. Ski towns are usually exceptions too.

Now lets look at the middle/upper middle suburbs---subdivision on top of subdivision, latch key kids playing video games for hours smoking dope at 14 watching mom and dad divorce still trying to keep up with Jones and their BMW/Audi/Range Rover ect.

Vermilion Parish is not that way. They have their share of hicks and coonasses but the culcha capita is lower there except for Abbeville. Most of the public schools are doing well in that parish. West Feliciana seems to be doing fine too.
