Yep, except it's not a city. It's barely even a town now, especially compared to when I was a kid.

Yes, by size. But really, you need at least 10,000 to be called a city. Even those are really big towns.

Batorleans.

Chalmette is nowhere near the worst but there’s a lot that Metairie and Slidell have that they don’t, and that’s whom we’re compared to.

Now the true shitholes in my neck of the woods are Violet and Buras. Violet isn’t up the road and it isn’t down the road. Buras just feels like every hurricane just wears them down a little more.

I like Bogalusa and Washington Parish surprisingly. That drive on LA 41 feels like a country vacation, and I don’t mind the paper mill smell. I wish their team was better so Chalmette would always have a reason to play there every other year.

Anyone mentioned leesville yet? It’s so bad. It’s like going in a time machine back 40 years. The damn movie theater is flat seating so if a big guy sits in front of you, you ain’t seeing the screen
