Spent plenty of time there over the years and never liked it.

The past few weeks I’ve had to pass through from Houston to Lafayette. It’s awful. A few reasons I don’t like it are the bars and restaurants are crap, there’s a lot of ran down places with a few decent areas mixed in, and lot of ghetto & rough people all over. It’s really does remind me of Alexandria or Monroe with more people and jobs.

I find that 30 minutes thing very hard to believe. I went the past two weeks from Texas to Lafayette and it took 45-1:15 to get through.

The only traffic situation in ellick is that gay arse 5 mile long train that backs up traffic between LSUA and LA1.

Believe what you want, I just avoid the construction part of 210. Go through Moss Bluff to I-10 and 210 from other direction. Like I said, you have to know where to go to avoid it

There’s not believing. I saw it with my own two eyes. I’m not making this shite up.


Why are you LC natives so quick to defend it? It’s a fricking shite show and there’s no denying it

Ryan Street, enterprise, around the college are mostly crap. North lake Charles is the absolute worst.

South Lc is decent you are correct. That is only a very small section of the whole city. The casino area is nice. The mall is garbage.

Not a LC native, I said that already, I just work here. I just can't let a ridiculous statement like LC traffic is worse than BR traffic go. A few weeks ago after leaving work in LC and easily getting on the road home to BR I had to sit at a complete stop and then stop and go traffic on the interstate in BR...at 7 at night...on a Saturday

Yeah traffic in LC is a little bad right now because of construction but BR is like that fricking always.

Pretty much, ow he has switched to LC is a shite hole. Actually said the restaurants suck, showed he is dumb as shite with that comment. I could name 10-12 bad arse restaurants right now off the top of my head.

1 hour to get through LC, wtf? I was saying it was bad but not that damn bad. You exaggerate or you suck at driving around traffic or got caught when there was a wreck.

Yes. About 85% of LC is rundown

Name 3 legit restaurants not named Pat’s of Henderson.

It is improving, though, and will be for the foreseeable future.

That's more than can be said for most other Louisiana cities.

I will agree with you there.

With all of the projects there, if the leaders don’t frick it up, LC could be a much better place and be a destination to live in LA. That’s a long ways away and relies on a lot of non corrupt politicians getting shite done...


Again, unlikely. Hard to beat The North Shore as far as quality of life goes in Louisiana.

Been a while since you’ve driven on the interstate around LC? It routinely takes an hour plus to get from Sulphur to LC.

They didn’t read my actual original post. I said LC traffic ON INTERSTATE 10, is way worse than BR I-10 right now. They just saw the words Lake Charles traffic worse than BR in the title and got all fired up not knowing what the hell I was referring to.
