 don't come here! - 11/5/2009

I moved here from beautiful Colorado Springs, CO. Jennings is between Lafayette and Lake Charles so if you want decent shopping, libraries, movies, parks etc you have to drive 40+ miles in either direction to get to these things. If you would like to find a cheap place to live to come to to die Jennings would be a good place. I would not raise children here. The mind set of this community is not progressive at all and the culture, in the whole of southwest La, is basically "don't confuse us with facts our minds are made up". Not very tolerant of any other peoples or cultures that come in to their area. These cajuns are territorial and they can have it as far as I'm concerned. Real estate prices are outrageous considering how far you have to go for movies etc. Rental properties are high and not in very good condition. Like I said, a good place to die.[read more...]
