Me and my wife have watched a Vietnamese hooker work a few ole baws over at the baccarat table over the years. She's pretty hot TBH and always dresses like a skank.

Not much on Cajun heritage because I honestly don’t think it’s as rooted with Cajun culture as Acadiana,
Because it wasn't really there until they moved there during WWII for the refinery and chemical plant jobs built for the war effort. That being said, I find Lake Chuck more Cajun than Baton Rouge when I moved from there to here in 2001. With almost all of my relatives in Laffy, neither city is as nearly Cajun as Laffy. When people begin using terms like pop, for soft drinks, shoot the ball, for throwing, or laid a fart/turd, then they will be more Cajun.

Man, how cool would it be to watch a behind the scenes documentary about the implosion. Have one of the engineers explaining how the come up with the charge plan and what the strategy is.
They study the structural engineering first.
Take an OK based company, Dykon. It's founderM Jim Redyke, got the job to drop the tallest structure ever dropped in South Africa, It was a concrete exhaust stack at an old power plant, after the new plant was built next to it. The SA engineers gave him the wrong strength of the concrete. As a result, the old stack dropped right on the brand new power plant.

Sucks, I hate to see the big guy fall like that
It should symbolize the failure of that Parish and its Administration over the past 2-3 decades.
People should remember this tower coming down because it is very similar to the trajectory of the city.
No hate just facts if we are being 100% honest with each other.

As long as the city doesn't fumble it, they have a real chance to finally make the downtown the second entertainment area behind the LDL and Golden Nugget area.
Ha.
