Review of Lafayette, Louisiana


Ugly town some nice people
Star Rating - 4/28/2006
I have lived here for 2 years. The people are friendly for the most part. In every town you will find jerks, no exception here. Cajun people are unlike any other and they seem to live in a world of there own. Culture and food is a big thing here, I don't like the food much and the folk music is horrible. There is not much to do here except eat out at the many restaurants. There is fishing, if you have a boat and can handle the mosquitoes and bugs. Did I mention the bugs, millions of mosquitoes and bugs?? As for the town itself I find it dull and boring, there is ZERO natural beauty, houses workshops, factories and trailer homes can share the same street, there is no order; very messy. The roads are outrageous, best suited to 4x4's, worst I have ever seen. It is VERY HOT and HUMID here, it is horrible. Food is a big thing here because there is nothing else to do especially when you are hiding from the heat. Heat brings bugs and mosquitoes!! I can not wait to get out of here. I have lived all over the world, Louisiana is the worst place I have been to, Lafayette is one of the worst towns in Louisiana. I hate this place! An average toilet bowl is more interesting than this town!

I lived in Carencro and Lafayette for three miserable years. The reason why people are so so so about their culture and food is because that is all they have. they have nothing else. oh wait, they are also very very materialistic where they HAVE to have a nice car and HAVE to have the latest smart phones. pathetic. racism still exist there on both sides and also i realized that everyone down their is 100x times more trashy and retarded. and the way they talk is so disgusting and ignorant. sounds like a bag of marbles in their mouths. im not a hateful person, but i hope a giant bomb or meteor wipes out Louisiana. and by the way, the new orleans saitns are the biggest cheaters ever. drew brees is a homosexual with sean payton. who gay?
