How have you not been 30 minutes from your house in all directions? shite, I've driven further for a restaurant I wanted to eat at.

This. Rural people who hadn’t left the state would surprise me more these days.
Poor people in cities don’t have cars or cheap access to long-distance transportation while also having everything they need day-to-day within walking distance. I could see how someone could stay really local.

I'd be gone in a heartbeat if it wasn't for my close relationship with my parents

You are correct about this. I used to teach many of them. If they had been somewhere it was Texas. Which is 19 miles away.

My niece and her husband came to visit us in ATL a few years back. He’s born and raised in elberta al. Had never left the state, even to Florida which is like a 20-30 minute drive from his house. An avid river/pond fisherman(like daily) yet had never eaten any salt water fish either despite living on the coast. Mind was blown
How the hell does this happen?

I worked with a chick that had never left Houston. She was 36, mother of 3. Said she was scared to fly or get on freeways. She never used the interstate either, always took backroads. Weird chick.
How does she feel about traveling by boat?

One of my old bosses use to teach shop at a school in BR. This was years ago. He told me that he would take them to some type of convention to New Orleans every year, but that he just used the convention as a reason to take the kids somewhere because most of them had not been out of BR.
He said he would take them through Donaldsonville just so they can see more than interstate. He said one time they were on the sunshine bridge and one of the kids asked him "what river is that?".
But I am sure there are a lot of people who don't get out of their state until after HS.

Dated a girl from Des Allemands that never had never been north of I10, or west of Baton Rouge. I lived in Shreveport. The first time she came to visit she called while passing through Natchitoches and asked me if I lived in the mountains.

This is how you do a thread. No need for your normal six paragraphs of bullshite.

There was an Advocate article where an elementary school teacher in Baton Rouge said several of her students had never seen the Mississippi River.

My wife taught in a rural area outside of BR and there were high school students who had never been to the city.

How do you live in BR and never have seen the MR?
Posted on 7/24/19 at 9:23 pm to OweO
I have some cousins who are rural poors that live in Avoyelles Parish and have never been outside of Central La.

As crazy as this seems, growing in Gulf/Bay County, Florida something like 70% of the kids had never been to the beach. I was in high school with kids who had never been to the beach much less outside the state.
