I am floored by the negative comments about Lafayette, LA- both about the city and its people. My question is for those who made rude comments about the people of Lafayette. You say they don't accept you...are rude to you...are uninviting. How do you act towards them? Unaccepting? Rude? Uninviting? I'd venture to say yes on all accounts. My fiancé moved here several years ago for work. He'll be the first to admit that he hated it. Then he came to realize that this is HIS HOME and he could continue to hate it or venture out and become involved in the community. He strives to be an example to his co-workers, all of which are from out of state, that if you open your mind and your heart to the area, the area will welcome you in with open arms...just as I strive to be an example to his co-worker's significant others. You don't like the schools? Get involved. You have issues with the roads? Get involved. You have issues with the people? Get involved. You can sit on your sofa and stew about what you don't like about Lafayette or you can get out to Downtown Alive or Festival Acadiens or Festival International and meet people who think Lafayette is the best place to be and want to share that with you.
