DC is a cultural backwater.
Why do you say that? What makes it a cultural backwater? My family is also from Virginia and my father worked in Washington and went to grad school there and to this day, it's the only big city he's enjoyed living in (the other cities were New York, LA, and Miami).

Oh, it's TD's shitty culture debate again. To the people that day DC has no culture, what the frick is your definition of culture?

Louisiana and Texas are the business centers of the South. The haters in this thread confirm it.

In Louisiana, Lafayette and Houma are on fire. In Alabama, Huntsville and Mobile are doing well. Texas is at the top though and Georgia is doing well also.

Planning urged to prepare for La.’s chemical boom
TIMOTHY BOONE

With nearly $84 billion in petrochemical plant construction projects and thousands of workers in the pipeline for Louisiana over the next few years, officials say it is time to start planning how to handle the impending boom.
“We better get ready,” said Boo Thomas, president and CEO of the Center for Planning Excellence . “We have thousands of new workers coming. Where are they going to live? Where are they going to get their McDonald’s? Where are they going to get their healthy food?” she said during a panel discussion Wednesday at the 2013 Louisiana Smart Growth Summit in the Shaw Center for the Arts.
Dan Borné, president of the Louisiana Chemical Association, described it as one of the “great tsunamis of investment” to happen in U.S. history.
An ample supply of cheap natural gas has triggered the boom, with most of the activity centered between Baton Rouge and New Orleans and around Lake Charles.
Susana Schowen, a workforce initiatives manager for the Louisiana economic development department, said the state will need an estimated 130,000 workers by 2020 to build all of the new industrial projects on the horizon. It won’t be just craft workers such as welders and carpenters. Engineers, managers, accountants and support staff will also be needed, she said.
Chemical boom
And more!

“Because of all we have done to make Louisiana a great place to do business, we have now set another record for the number of people working, exceeding 2 million workers for the first time in Louisiana history,” Gov. Bobby Jindal said in a statement.
“That’s even more significant when you consider that many announced major projects that will drive employment for years have not yet begun construction,” said Curt Eysink, executive director of the Louisiana Workforce Commission.
Employment hit a new peak for the sixth month in a row

Yeah no one wants to live in Austin with all those hippies and queers. It would be fun to visit for a weekend but not live there

With all these plans for Louisiana, maybe next year they'll rank higher than 40th on Forbes list of best states to do business.
