They no longer want to be Acadiana, but now want to claim basically half the state.

First we let em believe their directional school is suddenly. THE University of Louisiana and now this?

Sure are some presumptuous frickers.

So, let me get this straight. The Lafayette Chamber of Commerce, which was supposed to be tasked with promoting Lafayette as opposed to Crowley, New Iberia, etc. (who have their own Chambers of Commerce), became "One Acadiana" to promote the greater area and now they are pushing "South Louisiana." Sounds like they have strayed from their original purpose. Is it time to re-form a Chamber of Commerce for Lafayette to promote Lafayette proper?

Almost two-thirds said the One Acadiana region — it includes Acadia, Evangeline, Iberia, Jefferson Davis, Lafayette, St. Landry, St. Martin, St. Mary and Vermilion parishes



Jefferson Davis is usually lumped in with the LC metro area and SWLA

Southwest Louisiana (SWLA) is a five-parish area intersecting the Acadiana and Central Louisiana regions in the U.S. state of Louisiana. It is composed of the following parishes (counties): Allen, Beauregard, Calcasieu, Cameron, Jefferson Davis.[1][2] A 2010 population estimate of the five parish area was over 292,619.[3]

They're just trying to stay relevant since there no more oil and gas industry over there.

A DCI survey of site selectors and talent recruiters showed too few people outside southwestern Louisiana recognized the name Acadiana as representing this geographic region.


Sounds like the One Acadiana group has failed at their job, so they want to change what the region is called.

Stupid. Frickin Lafayette doing typical Lafayette things.

I am seeing a lot of insecurity from Baton Rougeans about Lafayette in this thread

So Lafayette is to South Louisiana what Shreveport is to North Louisiana?

I recommend the name that fits the region, "New Iberia Haircut Louisiana." They need to learn it, love it, live it.

What?

I don't even really think BR is 'South Louisiana' really. But a whole lot of other places that have nothing to do with Lafayette certainly are.

I think Lafayette should sit on back and wait.

BR's Mayor will help them implode in due time.

Don't be mad because 90% of Baton Rouge can't even make a roux and make fun of REAL Cajuns, though they want to be called a part of Cajun country, LOL

And I grew up in Baton Rouge, so I can say that!
