I lived in Lafayette for seven years. I visit family once or twice a year and every time I visit they are up to the same damn thing.. absolutely nothing.
People born and raised in Lafayette will you tell you it’s paradise. That city sucks.
Also, I think I read somewhere Lafayette/Louisiana is the number once city/state in the country for infectious diseases.

Not sure why you are laughing. Lafayette is light years ahead of freaking Baton Rouge in this regard.

It’s a better place to live than visit, unless there is a festival or something going on.

Early 2000’s Lafayette was a great time. Amanda Scott’s, Club 410, Stan’s on Vermillion, Poet’s, Graham Central Station.

My son was a college exchange student in Austria and stayed two extra years getting credit for translating books into English. So he dates this damned good looking Austrian gal and brings here back to the States for a few weeks. One day, I took them out to a marsh in SW LA crabbing and riding a boat for a tour through the marsh, on a hot August day. She looked like she was having a miserable time the entire day, but didn't say a word.
When they returned to Austria, did she talk about New Orleans, or her week in Austin? NOT a word. All she talked about was how wonderful it was in the marsh.
Other than maybe jazz, New Orleans ain't that big a deal to people who come from where there are older cities. Europeans all love to say they had sex with an Octaroon (1/8th black for you millennials).

LOL, you probably read that on here, I would take that with a grain of salt.
But here is some interesting data from 2018
quote:
11. NYC -The rate of HIV infection in Harlem is 4-5 times higher than the national average. The highest rates of new HIV diagnoses are among gay males. 90% of transgender women newly diagnosed with HIV in New York City were blacks/African Americans or Latinos.
10. Baltimore, Maryland – 24.3 HIV infection rates in Baltimore are on the rise due to a lack of education. HIV is a lifelong infection that, if left untreated, can lead to AIDS.
9. Jacksonville, Florida – 25.1 The number of business people and tourists who travel to Jacksonville,” might contribute to the high rates of HIV diagnoses and prevalence there. Forty-four percent of people diagnosed with HIV live in the South, even though the region only contains about a third of the U.S. population.
8. Columbia, South Carolina – 25.6 Poverty, rural geography, lack of affordable healthcare and social stigma and religion all contribute to the prevalence of HIV in the South. A diagnosed person might not seek treatment due to fear of rejection from the religious community.
7. Atlanta, Georgia – 25.9 More than 1,000 people are diagnosed with HIV each year in Atlanta. What’s more, 50 percent of those people aren’t diagnosed until they already have AIDS.
6. Memphis, Tennessee – 27.6 2,000 people in Memphis who have the disease are not aware of it, African-American gay and bisexual men are most affected by HIV, followed by white gay and bisexual men.
5. Orlando, Florida – 28.8 The rate of HIV diagnoses in Orlando decreased slightly (0.9 percent) in 2 yrs.
4. Jackson, Mississippi – 32.2 The hiv rate is crazy in Jackson, they are pushing the PrEP pill, which is a daily medication that can actually prevent you from becoming infected with HIV even if you have sex with someone who is positive
3 .New Orleans, Louisiana – 36.9 An excess of 19,000 people in Louisiana are living with HIV. More than half of those people have AIDS.. African-Americans make up only 32 percent of the state population, they represented 73 percent of the state’s new cases
2. Miami, Florida – 42.8 GetTested.com speculates that the city’s high HIV rates may be due to its culture & its reputation as a ‘party city.’
1 .Baton Rouge, Louisiana – 44.7 many of the infections there “are due to shared needles, since the city is the center of a massive opiate addiction issue.”

Just head another 20 miles south and hit New Iberia...that's the experience.

Went there for 20 min today. Got home and had to take a shower to wash it off.

The best time to visit Lafayette is during Festival International. He'd meet a lot more foreign tourists here, during the fest and during the night life afterwards.
The food is great and the night life is nice on the weekends, but I wouldn't come during the week.
