I’m in oil and gas as well. What is there in Calhoun that allowed you to move back home? I’m hoping to get off of the road soon so I can be home to watch my kids grow up.

Monroe's bad (looking at you, Booker T) but not #1 bad. State Farm and the Guide plant leaving didn't do the economy any favors and when CTEL/LINK eventually leaves (30 seconds after Glenn Post steps down as CEO), it's going to be irredeemable.

Looking back, I think the real beginning of the hard downward slide was when Abe Pierce became mayor. Nothing good has happened since then.

I've got my house up for sale in West Monroe, for anyone on here that may be interested. It is in Teal Loop, out west off of Cyprus Street. PM me for details.

Monroe was on a downward slide long before Abe Pierce became mayor.

Monroe’s last chance at redemption was Melvin Rambin but his untimely death after less than a year in the mayor’s office put the final nail in the coffin.

True.
Was telling an out of town friend that the Garden District “ain’t what it used to be.”
The South side should now be defined as South of Forsythe not I20.

Damn.
I was up in Calhoun and Monroe last weekend. I feel lucky to have made it out unscathed nor did I witness any nefariousness.

I don't buy it either

I would walk the streets anywhere in Monroe

Here in NJ there are streets I wouldn't walk in Newark and Paterson
