So you are a 5 or 8 hour drive away from a nice city? GTFO how did you ever get to be so lucky.
I can fish and play golf 12 months a year. I am happy where I am.

Covington, Gonzales, or Denham. Pretty much the cream of the crop of places to live in Louisiana

I love the state of Louisiana and a lot of really great people living there; but I live away from it for very good reasons. Louisiana's job market, laws and weather would have undergo a metamorphosis like LSU's offense did this season for it to become really attractive to return.

Wait you live in a small arse town in South West colorodo in the middle of no where and you are bragging about having several hour drives to a real city? 
This thread is a clown show and you're heading up the act.

Covington is definitely cream of the crop.
We stayed at that southern hotel and now my wife is constantly searching realtor.com for houses. Most charming place ever she says.
Charm comes at a price it seems. Nothing in old town less than 400,000 for 3br

Well, I left and came back, so...
It took getting tired of driving back 10 hours for every major holiday, wedding, funeral, etc.
Missing LSU games, hunting lease, fishing the gulf, crawfish boils.
Aging parents and in-laws. Missing high school and college buddies.
Ultimately, I was gone for 10 years, but Louisiana was still home.

Sounds nice to me. I'd live in Durango over any big city in the country

Same. I left Louisiana in my early 20s and ended up back here.

I'll keep our vacation home in Park City to visit a couple weeks a year. No one wants to live there permeant.

Yeah Covington, Mandeville and Madisonville is definitely the holy trinity for Louisiana, but I guess I'm a bit biased

I’m in New Iberia 
Posted on 11/25/19 at 10:53 am to WaydownSouth
Lived in New Orleans and loved it. Would have never left if it wasn't for the poor public schools.

Love my growing up in NOLA memories. Wouldn’t trade em for anything. Moved away in 1984. Come back for visits every 18 months or so. Second half of my life (35 yrs) spent in Iowa, Kentucky, Georgia, Florida and now Texas. Good old NOLA ain’t dere no more, but all the crap and corruption and stupid I hated pretty much still is. Wouldn’t move back unless somebody gifted us a Garden District mansion and the money to maintain it in good style. Ain’t happening.

When you have been away from the place you grew up for a long time you tend to remember the good and not the bad. Living in other places you also realize everywhere has it's issues. For me after 23 years away it was just time to come home. Having an aging parent and missing New Orleans were both part of it. Eight years back now with no regrets.

Same here. I spend 2 weeks every summer in Southern CO and 1 week some winters. Amazing beautiful place that South LA will never touch, except for the food. But still, I've found some great local food there as well.
