Love Lafayette and Acadiana in general.

Agree the rest of the state sucks.

I bit the bullet and spent some money to get tickets behind LSU's dugout. Going with my son and wanted him to be able to see the players as close as possible. Didn't want to take the chance that we wouldnt be able to get decent tickets right before the game.

I'll be buying a couple on Saturday.

But don't worry, Rocco. I wont give my 12 year old son any

This thread needs a different title

I guess they got them a lot of shrimp boils over there, them.

I've got a buddy that drives an old wrangler as his daily because it was his dad's and he loves it.

So for trips longer than a couple hours he rents a cheap sedan.

But yea, if someone just can't afford a new car and that's their reason for renting, then spending money on vacation AND a rental seems somewhat fiscally irresponsible.

That said, if I didn't already have a large vehicle for family trips, I would consider renting a van or something larger so my 3 kids wouldnt murder each other in a 5-seater.

Has there ever been grass there to your knowledge?

Unknown.

We bought the house 8 years ago and have never had grass except for a few patches that are farthest from the trees.

We've got two beautiful live oaks in our front yard (faces west) that provide lots of shade, but we cannot grow grass in our yard. It's just a giant dirt patch.

I don't think it's due to lack of sunlight because almost every house on our side of the street also has two live oaks that provide similar shade, and they've got grass in their yards.

I suppose it could be due to the live oaks sucking up moisture, but even when we have lots of rain, we get no luck.

My next door neighbor is the only other house on our side of the street with a similar issue. They attempted to sod the entire yard a few years ago and they're already back at dirt.

Should we get a soil sample done? Any recommendations on who could help us with this in the Acadiana area?

Thanks in advance.

As long as we’re done with 8:00 games.

Staying up past midnight two nights in a row has me tripling my normal coffee consumption at the office.

I second the Grove Park Inn

I’ve stayed at a lot of places and that’s towards the top of my list
