She has family there. The branch I will be running is located in Houma. The ex will have to meet me half way according to our parenting agreement.

F - Food, fishing, football
H - hunting, heat, humidity, hurricanes
M - music, mosquitoes

I've never been to Savannah. but I can tell you Houma is very different. But friendly people in both places.

If you post this on the OT Lounge board you will get many more responses, but you won't know what to believe.

I live in Houma. Lived in New Orleans before that. Houma is laid back, not a lot of traffic and only an hour ride to New Orleans. Friendly people and good local food mixed in with some chain restaurants. Fishing is great fresh and saltwater.

Thanks I appreciate it

Great place!

You would get a lot more responses on the OT, but a lot more useless responses as well.
Houma is an oil town, and oil went bust there almost 10 years ago. The prolonged economic depression has taken a big toll on the city. With that said, food is good, COL is low outside of car insurance (which will be at least double what you’re used to), New Orleans is close by for world class entertainment, fresh and saltwater fishing at your doorstep, and a great little college town in nearby Thibodaux filled with cute little brunette cajun girls who drink like fishes.

Granted, all of this is secondhand knowledge. I’ve lived in South Louisiana my whole life and never set foot in Houma. No reason to go there if not for work.

Thanks King and Harry Rex. I appreciate the responses.

Sorry to hear about the divorce. I can only assume she's from Stringer... there doesn't seem to be a ton of reasons to move there to be honest.

Having lived throughout the South I've lived near Houma, though that was a long time ago, but never in it. It is a sportman's paradise as I recall. A lot of fishing and the like.

It is, however, legendary for once having been one of the roughest towns in the old Mid-South (New Orleans) wrestling territory. Fans attempted, on a weekly basis, to kill the wrestlers during events and many a story from an old timer involves kicking a fan in the balls down there. Jim Cornette has devoted many a segment on his podcasts to talking about how dangerous Houma was for wrestlers.
