Certainly can't argue against Ellick being a crap hole of a city. High crime, stupid traffic especially for it's size (the infamous south traffic circle), old rundown mall, nothing, absolutely no business will invest in locating in Alex due to the above. AND, no decent Italian restaurant!


It makes no sense why it can’t be at least decent. It’s smack dab in the middle of the state. It’s got the red river. It’s good terrain (I.e doesn’t flood). You can be in almost any other LA city in 2 hours. This is the state government failing to bring businesses to Alec

FIFY. Alexandria will never be more than what it is right now. There is certain apathy that runs through town and for whatever reason there is ZERO interest to ever make the town better than what it is. No investment in infrastructure, zero interest in hitting the pavement and trying to bring real jobs to town, etc..

A lot of the old money in town is just set in their ways and they don't want anything to upset their apple cart while they hang on for the last few years of their existence. Unfortunately, they have screwed the future generations of the town with their views and leadership.

I say this as an outsider who lived in town for 11 years and got out 6 years ago. Alexandria will remain what it has been forever, a town with great potential that will never be realized because no one WANTS to make it a reality.
