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

I was raised in Lafayette and like many young people couldn't wait to leave. I've had an opportunity to live in every region of this country and after military life and travel nursing I've found out that there are good and bad aspects to any place you live. I miss the people and culture of Lafayette. I agree the weather is hard to take, which is why I don't live there, but I prefer it to Phoenix. It's all a matter of taste. As far as the people, I don't know where these other people who are denegrating the Cajuns are from, but I've never been anywhere where the people were nicer or more accepting of outsiders. Remember, until the 1940s this was a very isolated Cajun area, now filled with people from all walks of life and different areas of the world. It's uneducated people who judge a whole culture on the actions of a few.
