re: How many of you live in a trailer?
Posted by Defenseiskey on 1/13/26 at 7:09 am to cbree88
I lived in a used renovated trailer (that I fixed myself) that I bought for 18k and put about 7k in renovations from the time I graduated until I moved to Texas. Only had to pay $250 in lot rent every month. Was able to pay off my student loans about 4 years earlier than scheduled and save up for a $30k down payment on my house in Clear Lake.
Paying overpriced rent isn't the flex you think it is.

When Im super bored (maybe twice a year), I'll binge watch Ancient Aliens and Storage Wars for a little bit of that Millenial nostalgia. Those trashy network reality shows just hit different.

They're trying. There is am LSU residency training center at Oschner LGMC campus. From what I hear, ULL has inquired about starting one but I highly doubt the state will start a new university health system to do it. It will most likely have to be another LSUHSC location. There's a new Osteopathic at ULM, not sure how that's going.

Not from Lake Charles but I couldn't move up in my career field in Louisiana and ended up having to move to Houston to get a promotion. Nepotism is on a whole other level there.
I know the whole "shite on Louisiana" stuff can get get annoying on this site but there's a lot of truth to some of it.
re: Is the stretch of St. Charles near Lee Circle sketchy?
Posted by Defenseiskey on 1/12/26 at 6:40 am to Ingeniero
I lived between Magazine and St Charles the three years I lived in NOLA and commuted to Downtown for work. It was kinda sketchy back then with the homeless people especially near the train station and that Circle K. I went back over the holidays to visit my sister and take my family on an Amtrak ride and was surprised by how clean and safe it seemed.
re: Why isn’t the Pensacola metro area a larger city than it is?

It definitely could of been because of how naturally good that port is. There is a reason why it was was one of Spain's first colonial cities
From what I understand, they're pretty content with what they are, a navy/beach town and never really sought industrial, manufacturing, or tech growth. A lot of people move there to retire. The port is dominated by the Navy and the tourism industry would probably oppose any kind of large scale industrial development on the waterfront. Mobile is close enough that it never became a major Healthcare center (although you can make a good buck treating Navy veterans). There isn't a research university nearby, UWF is a good school but isn't known for cranking out startups.
Its a lot like other medium sized cities in the south, if you're not in education, healthcare, or a specialized trade it's not the best place for a career.

I am a big advocate of intermittent fasting. I've grafually lost around 40 lbs over the course of 5 years by simply skipping breakfast most days of the week.
I do have at least one cheat day a week where I'll grab donuts or Waffle House for my kids though.
