Is there anywhere in LA to get away from the "Cultural Enrichment"?


They’ve got crack shacks on the same street as antebellum mansions in the Garden District in New Orleans.

Wildest shite I’ve ever seen.

I will say Lafayette has some of the best food I’ve ever had in my life.

I'd say Missouri, but I'm not sure it is actually an "SEC state"

The best place I have lived in is prob Georgia. Rome, Georgia, had a great atmosphere.

Louisiana is awesome if you can swing it. Good neighborhoods are pricey and you have to pay for private school for the most part. I’ve always said LA is a fantastic place to be upper class or lower class. Middle class gets screwed here.

But if you can manage it - the food, drink, and culture is 2nd to none, there’s always something happening, can be outdoors year round, and close to everything besides mountains.

What do these five states have in common?

No, not that you bunch of racist. Large swaths of nothing. Literally miles and miles of flat, grassy land.



I think people on here are saying that the people taking the survey were the racists...

I don't listen to those lists. I've lived in almost every state in the South and MS and LA will always be at the top of my list from people to places. We still have our camp in Bay St. Louis and are constantly going back to Baton Rouge and New Orleans for football games and events. I moved to TX after Katrina and have recently moved back but I'll always consider LA and MS my two favorite places.

The fact they have North Dakota in the top 5 tells me all I need to know. That is one of the least visited states in America

Mississippi is actually top 5 in K-12 test scores now and they had the 5th lowest violent crime rate last year. Pretty remarkable.

Disagree as people see ISIS as relevant and a threat. LSU is more of an afterthought that every now and again surfaces as a faded memory.

Let's see how quickly LSU fans respond making this about Alabama because they cannot the defend their state and the truth about it so they will deflect.

Some of the prettiest parts of Arkansas is in the Northeast part of the state when the mountains meet the Arkansas Delta.

One of the worst states - Shelby County Tennessee. One of the best states - everywhere else in Tennessee.

Great off season thread. And right before talking season is over.

I’ll just add that schools are not states.

But LSU may be the most direct connection, being the only major football school in the state.
