I must disagree, it's a great place to live

I'm a Cajun, raised in the Lafayette area and like many young people I moved away after I graduated from USL. I've had the opportunity to live in every region of this country and travel to others. I've learned that there are good and bad aspects of anyplace you live. The culture here is slow and easy and the family is the most important aspect of their lives. The culture that was said to be non-existant is apparent in the multitude of festivals that are held practically every weekend in the spring and summer. The weather is hard to take, which is why I don't live there, but better than the desert SW like Phoenix. Then again, it's all what you make of it. I don't know where these people are from who are denegrating the Cajun people, but I've never been anywhere with kinder more generous people. Just have a flat tire, anywhere else in this country you are on your own. In Cajun country you'll be turning away help.
