I tried to find a job in Denver. I got through three rounds of interviews and didn’t get the job. I’m still kinda heartbroken about it. I’m thinking about signing up for the February bar exam there and getting serious about relocating ...

Swai is just as good, if not better, than real local catfish when cooked right....

I guess they weren’t getting a big enough cut from all the whaling ...

There were always a few white knights back in the Kipster era, but not so much anymore. BR is f$&king depressing, and I’m one of the biggest BR homers out there....

More like once a week. It always turns into a Houston vs New Orleans vs Baton Rouge pissing match when all three places suck arse....

[quote]He visited his relatives in Katy once and thinks all big cities are like that minus New Orleans and Nashville. [/quote] Once again, I’m sayin the opposite of that. New Orleans has its own unique draws like most large, dense, pre-WWII cities. Chicago has identify, Portland has identity, De...

[quote]It’s not that partying is unique, but the party itself is different from parties enjoyed elsewhere. I recommend trying it out before you write it off. Bruh... [/quote] Most places I've gone, boat party culture is kinda classy. It's the weird mix of loaded and unbelievably trashy that...

[quote]New Orleans isn't the only city with things that are unique to the city though which was my point. There are things unique to San Francisco, NYC, Miami, etc that you won't find anywhere else. We don't have to act like New Orleans is the only city with its own unique culture or identity.[/quot...

The sandbar isn’t a geologic formation, it’s a bar. It’s not that partying is unique, but the party itself is different from parties enjoyed elsewhere. I recommend trying it out before you write it off....

[quote]with plenty of things for locals to do[/quote] The drawback is that those things that Houston has for locals to do are had by literally every other city of remotely similar size. They’re not unique to Houston, and people don’t have to come to Houston, and only Houston, to experience them. ...

I’ve tried to leave several times, but I really really really really don’t want to live in Houston. I find my biggest hurdle is in trying to find a job out of state that isn’t in Houston. It’s like, hey, there’s a big world out there! Get out of this shithole and experience it! That’s right, there’s...

[quote]Half of this applies to NOLA too. [/quote] Of course it does, but New Orleans also offers tons of music, arts, architecture, and food found literally nowhere else on earth. New Orleans has the same drawbacks as Houston (and then some), but it also has some really big attractive qualities ...

[quote]is there a state that doesn’t have this? [/quote] Very few places offer experiences even remotely resembling the Cajun Rivierra. There’s a few places around Mobile Bay/Orange Beach that sorta come close, and some spots in Florida, but it’s pretty unique. There may be some similar experien...

[quote]How is downtown these days compared with back then? [/quote] It’s almost back to its pre-Katrina level of ghost town status. Mayor Broome ordered BRPD to enforce open-container laws on 3rd Street to get back at John Delgado for attempting to organize a recall initiative against her. It kil...

Plus, it doesn’t have any kind of local unique cuisine, the fishing is pretty garbage, the nearby beaches are garbage, there’s no mountains, no aesthetic building architecture just strip malls and mcmansions, little original music or unique local styles of music being made there, no aesthetic or int...

I would if it were true. I’m significantly less productive at home, and I wish that wasn’t the case....

I also found the city was really trending in the right direction in the first half of the 2010’s but did a complete reversal in trajectory in 2016 and has only continued to slowly destroy all the progress the city made post post Katrina during the latter Kip years....

Yeah, notice I didn’t include BR on my list of great places in the state to live. My issue with Houston is that it’s too much like Baton Rouge :lol: I think BR gets slightly more hate on this site than it deserves, but its reputation as a run-down, crime infested, traffic-snarled, flood-prone, AI...

Noon games in Louisiana sunshine are miserable, just ask any LSU fan who’s ever been to an 11:00am kickoff in September ...

That black smoke is photoshopped, but your point still stands. Baton Rouge is basically Biff’s Evil 1985 from Back to the Future: 2...
