Just stay away from the Evangeline Thruway area between the airport and I-10, a lot of crime and drugs.
I was always told that if you lived north of I-10, you was a Yankee.
I live in Iberia Parish, about 3 miles south east of Youngsville. I love living here. 7 mins from Delcambre Canal boat launch. 12 mins from Academy on Amb Caff. I can't think of a bad place to live in Acadiana except the area mentioned before.

Million dollar question is if your a city slicker or a country boy!

Welcome to Laffy!

Yeh cool little spot. I lived off Catherine on Rene St. Loved it there. Just outgrew my 2 bedroom house.

Welcome to Laffy!

Thanks! I'm definitely more of a country boy. I'll have to start scouting new areas to hunt and fish as soon as I move.

Thanks again everyone!

Single or married?


There are some FINE womenz in Lafayette:) Speaking from experience while out shopping with the wife - Target on Sunday mornings is a good spot, but Hobby Lobby on Johnston/Ambassador may have that beat. Went there twice last week with wife and :eek::rotfl:



You will never ever run out of places to eat with good food either


if I didn't state it earlier traffic SUCKS!

Office Depot is another sleeper. Go between lunch and 3pm. I guess they are buying college ruled notebooks

Barnes and Noble too but most of them are hipster chicks!

Finfeatherfur 06-19-2013 01:40 PM

Bonefish on Thursday nights!

Matt G 06-19-2013 02:07 PM

Target for damn sure!!! Wal-Mart can have a few gems, but a lot of trash to go through first :grinpimp:.

Never thought about Hobby Lobby..... You a smart fella!!

Those hipsters are some freaks too yea!

Bonefish got a lot of those high dollar cougars. It's like paper mache. It looks all pretty when it's done up, but get it wet it's just a soggy pile of crap. The younger ones there are just as broke as my a$$ looking for a sugar daddy or some douche in an Affliction shirt. :rotfl:

Screw an apartment and screw downtown. You want a good time in Lafayette, get a place with a porch and room for a bon fire! Let those city folk pay $3 for a beer while you sit on your ice chest and enjoy the crickets. ;)

Food is great everywhere! If you don't mind driving a little bit farther (in all the bad traffic), you can rent relatively inexpensively by renting a few miles out of town, south or east is probably best. You have to get up a little earlier, but savings can be significant to renting in town. Get online with a realtor and they can give you an idea of what's available and where. If you have pets, boats, etc., a rent house 5-10 miles out of town can save you hundreds in rent every month.

You should take a step outside to the pool area. ;) Don't get much better than Bourgeois.

Come to think of it I believe my landlord has a duplex available on Catherine just minutes from General.

Good advice! Between that and our new housekeeper......wife is in trouble when she gets home!

longsidelandry 06-21-2013 10:27 AM

I live in Delcambre and work right next to Lafayette General and it takes me between 35-45 minutes to get to work no matter which way I take, Verot to Pinhook or 90 to University or 89 through Youngsville & Broussard to Pinhook.
