Dude, you live in Shreveport. You haven't even been to the good part of Louisiana yet, I take it? Don't be a douchebag, if you don't like it? Move, where are you from anyway?

I had a patient who moved here from Illinois and said there was a night and day difference between Louisiana and Illinois. She said people here are friendly and happy. And there are jobs and opportunities unlike Illinois. (her words)
Well if Spanky can opt me out of my contract early, I'll have to PM him, lol. Yes, most of the young, educated people DO leave this area, and yes, I am sure you would like it better without anyone telling you "this place sucks". Win/Win the way I see it.Check your BS options...maybe Spanky will let you opt out early...or just click twice on " move "
One thing I have noticed about Louisiana is that every time a yankee moves north the south looks a little better
Well....I see no reason to leave my home state based soley on scary crime statistics (A wussified move, IMHO).
Read the fine print.

Of course not, and I bet you are a very family-oriented person and will stay here regardless. I am not, so I have options. Why not exercise them and improve my life? It's not just crime, its every single thing I can think of.

It's not just crime, its every single thing I can think of. I can't think of a reason to stay now that all my friends got out, one by one. Something I want to change, and I have the ability to change it, so I will.
If this is really the case, I hope you can find the place you're looking for, buddy.

Maybe you need to come to South La. for a change or get out of the city....I was born in N.O. and raised there and left in 1994 for lack of opportunities and moved to Baton Rouge....a better move for me as I didn't want to have to send my future kids to private/Catholic school in NO. Had my kids while living in BR and when it was time for them to start school it was like being in NO again..better education meant private schooling again...SO, we did one of the best things we've ever done and move to Ascension parish..great public schools and plenty of friendly people who aren't caught up in the "keeping up with the Jones'" mentality that I saw in BR. Crime? hardly any....Its all in what your priorities are in life I guess but I'm happy here and will NEVER go back to a big city unless I gotta go to a hospital or clinic and work of course..Hell, I don't even like shopping the cities any more....
A pirate complaining about hijacking?

As to me being negative, what do you expect? half the threads here are about **** going wrong in this state. When's the last time one of you posted something about "New Company moves to LA" or "LA school ranks improving"? No, all I see is "Armed robbery near my job" and "15 year old 8th grade gang-banger killed" and crap like that, so don't jump on me for being negative, I'm just responding to what I keep seeing over and over from you guys.
I think people tend to post about crime etc...mostly because of the mindset of the people in the forum. Being mostly gun-owners, defense is a high priority to us and those topics seem to appeal to us.
On the bright side, Nucor is building a new iron plant in St. James Parish! Governer Jindal got re-elected! Every school system sorrounding EBR now has B or better rankings!
Maybe not bad where you are, but Shreveport? Noone who ever left that I was friends with regretted it, and their lives took a dramatic turn for the positive as well upon leaving.Alexandria, sucks too. There is nothing out there, no offense to those that live there or raised there but it's pretty boring. Ascension parish is very nice I lived in St. Amant for 4 years, great schools, it's more like a suburb of Baton Rouge, about a thirty minute ride. Still has all of the conviences of a city. Go pay taxes somewhere else in another state and you'll realize it's not so bad here.
I have not looked into Jindal any at all as I am moving in less than a year. This is a good thing I presume?
