Cankles, ugly feet, man hands, and sweet baby Jesus, those big, red, infected looking arse pimples...oh hell no!

Diamondhead is actually a great choice. I've lived here for 15 years and love it. No tract homes (except for a small new project by Elliot Homes), at least 95% of the homes are custom built. Good size lots, many on one of two golf courses. We have a POA, but the monthly fee is only $55. If you've ever been in the military, or know someone who has, Dimaondhead is much like a military base in that EVERYTHING you need is right here. Seriously, there is never a reason to leave the community unless you want to.

There are two golf courses and of course a country club with great food, five swimming pools, four tennis courts, a pickleball court, a private airport (there are homes with hangars on their property where they can taxi straight to the tarmac!), a bowling alley (with outstanding food), and a full service marina with Yacht club and restaurant. In addition to the recreation, no matter where you live in the community, you will be no further than a 5 to 7 minute drive (at a leisurely 30mph) from medical care (both Ochsner's and Memorial are here), Optometrist, three dental offices, three fitness centers, chiropractor, three pharmacies, a Tru-Value hardware store, a very nice Rouses, 4 or 5 banks, 2 dry cleaners, Post office, 3 gas stations, 3 different dollar stores, multiple churches, an auto repair shop, a lawnmower dealer and small engine repair shop, multiple fast food choices, and several mom and pop restaurants.

Homes are cheap, you're north of the I-10, so no storm surge to worry about (unless you live on the south side, which is waterfront, and expensive). We're also a golf cart community, so you can drive a golf cart to every amenity I've listed! As someone else in the thread posted, we're also the closest commute to NOLA.

Come see us!

If our WR corps is best in the SEC (or country, depending on which pundit you listen to), then why did we let our best passing QB ride off into the sunset? Was it a mistake?

I've lived in Diamondhead for about 14 years now, and I love it. I don't play golf, but I live on the golf course because I got a great deal on the property back in 2008.

I do fish, and the fishing here is spectacular, as long as you have a boat. You don't need to get out in the gulf to fill your cooler; you can do that right in the Bay of St. Louis and its countless bayous. It's a target rich environment for Reds, Specks, drum, flounder, and white trout. If you do want to venture out, Cat Island is about 6 or 7 miles offshore.

Diamondhead has a marina with a launch, slips, fuel, and a bait shop. It launches you into a canal, but you can be in the bay in about 15 minutes. Diamondhead also has five swimming pools for residents and guests, some tennis courts, a full service country club with pretty good grub, and of course, two 18 hole courses.

What I really like about Diamondhead is that EVERYTHING you need is right here! Doctors, dentists, veterinary services, dry cleaners, post office, hardware store, a Rouses, numerous restaurants, 3 gyms, barbers and beauty salons, gas stations, 2 liquor stores, 4 banks, bowling alley, auto shop, 3 pharmacies (CVS is one), and more. They're all contained within this one community. I'm no more than a 5 minute drive (while doing 30 mph or less) or so from any of the above. If you are part of Ochsner's, they have their own clinic building here! It's pretty rare for me to have to go to the Northshore campus for an appointment as almost all specialties are represented at the Diamondhead campus.

Of the cities you asked about, Diamondhead property is also far cheaper than the others, including the waterfront properties they have.

Hope this helps!

Ok LSUSaint, why don't YOU tell us how he broke his arm? We're waiting... :popcorn:

You can absolutely be a fan of LSU and the Mannings. I am.

So am I. Been a Manning fan since 1969.

There is NO WAY you are a LSU fan. No way. Troll post.

Not a lifelong fan. I became one after watching Myles Brennan play ball at St Stanislaus for a few years and then commit to LSU. Being married to a NOLA girl didn't hurt either.

Besides Arch Manning, did LSU try to recruit any of the other Mannings? If they did, how hard did they go after them?

Archie played for Ole Miss at a time they were relevant and had a rivalry with LSU. He was drafted #2 by the NO Saints and had to live in a city that was mostly LSU and not much Ole Miss. Hid kids went to SEC schools that were not LSU and didn't even entertain LSU as a choice. Now his grandson will choose another school (probably Texas or Bama) despite the fact that he is now a 2nd generation Louisiana native. That is the history.

Brief and concise. Thank you.

I think Joe's record is safe. He needs 7 to tie, and 8 to break, with one more game left after this one. My money is on Joey B.
