It's cute, that's certain. Weren't the people checking the car doors and stealing from them from Tangipahoa?

This isn’t an issue where you’re from?

We'd ride our bikes to the lakefront, or to Lake Vista where we'd explore for hours. It wasn't a sterile suburban life, either. 

An older gent that I work with grew up in Lake Vista. Says it was basically Mayberry in the 60s and 70s.

I’m originally from Louisiana but have lived in nice suburbs in four other states. No, it hasn’t been an issue at all.

It’s sad. People who haven’t lived outside of Louisiana don’t know how shitty it is and that people in decent suburbs elsewhere in the country don’t have to worry about this crap. 

Some people don't like commuting 30 miles to work?

It happens everywhere, even in the Sanctuary. I'd be concerned since the OP stated his windows were broken and I rarely hear of that. They he guy who broke in my car 10 yrs ago was from Ponchatoula.

Hasn't happened in my neighborhood in ten years, thankfully. It was people checking for unlocked car doors. If they were locked, they moved on.

Yes!! I remember getting a little rush when we’d hit state housing, I miss those days.


People from New Orleans win the nostalgia olympics because it really was a pretty cool place to live back then.

That's why I don't really sympathize with threads posted by New Orleanians who move to Mandeville and then complain that it isn't suburban Dallas. If you want that lifestyle, drive north until you hit I-20 and make a left.

I went the last day it was open, October 1983.. They’d let you in free if you had, i think, all A’s and B’s on your report card.. Finally got up my courage to ride the Ragin Cajun that night.. worst part is, they shut it down to “build condos”, yet that land is still mainly undeveloped...

It took me a couple years to ride the Ragin Cajun, I’m glad I did though.

Do you think the perps were Skippers or Democrats?



Neither.
There’s a few hood by the Causeway that are “halfway houses” that have the kind of cunts that rifle through your shite when you’re sleeping. They don’t have a computer, or the intelligence to scam you out of stealing your credit cards, so they only take cash/change for their cigs and meth. They go car to car seeing which ones are open. If they’re locked, they move on quickly and quietly.

This was 2006. It was Skippers.

That's my basic point. St. Tammany did not suddenly turn trashy 5 minutes ago. It's a big, suburban parish and it has been that for many years now.

Was it those skippers that we’re addicted to heroine? I think a couple years ago MHS had a heroine problem amongst its students?
