Indeed. Whiteflightville was too hard to spell. As was Saybruhtown.

I would tell them Central, La, I would get in response, "oh you're in Alexandria? I thought you were in East Baton Rouge?" To which I would reply, "No, I'm in East Baton Rouge Parish in the city of Central." To which that response would be, "well, where's that?" after explaining all of this and that they are a new city, I would always get, "why'd they call themselves central? that's pretty stupid, they aren't the central of anything."


I get this shite every time I tell someone I live in Central. No I don't commute from Alexandria everyday.

There's no need for that.

If I asked someone where they're from and he answered "Central, La." I'm sure I'd then ask "yeah, but what city?"

I asked a Council Member this not long ago, I was told it was named after the school. Idk why the school was named Central, when someone from not around here ask's where Im from I just say a small town north of BR to avoid confusion
