I have lived in the same parish for my 40 year life. I have been on trips out of state and I worked one turnaround in Tuscaloosa.

I don't wanna move to another state. People don't really leave Louisiana, all about family and tradition here. Not really so much about family to me, some of my family I love allot, some I feel like a black sheep to, but it's more tradition. Louisiana is the number that had the most residents that born there. I just not right for me to leave. This state also has the largest petrochemical industry besides Texas. I want to be an operator with a permanent steady job, no more contractor work, too many ups and downs. I am still doing construction work but around here until something finally comes around.

I do understand :-)
Just don't forget the friends you have here

^^This is true. A lot of people gripe about this place all their life, finally leave it, and then move back 6 months later with their tail tucked in-between their legs. ;) Transplants typically hate this place, and either never leave or fondly talk about the good ol' days in Louisiana when they move elsewhere. ;)

People from other parts of the country don't usually why people are so close to their families here, they are usually do eager to move away from home when they get old enough. I always tell people about the quarterback Jake Delhomme, when he became famous he build a mansion in the Lafayette area, and then all of his family houses surrounding it in the same property. In Lafayette, I believe.

Anymore updates about the the Coral Fever event?

Cleo642 · Sep 12, 2015

Lol, I remember something. We lived in St. James parish, the neighboring parish is Ascension parish. When my sister got married and moved to Ascension parish, my other sister acted like she was moving to China. Lol

Working on that as we speak. Trying to get the flyer finished for it, outlining all the details.

I'm from the Westbank (suburb area) of New Orleans. People from the Eastbank think Westbank people are trash. One evening I was over at a snowball stand (on the Eastbank) with some Westbank friends. I had a nice conversation with this guy from the Eastbank while eating my snowball. My friends gave me hell on the way home for talking to a Eastbanker. It's crazy. :eek:

Your from Westwego? People are the same here sometimes with people from Vacherie, even though it's the same parish. And sometimes with people from Donaldsonville. I think people from Donaldsonville are kinda funny if you ask me, lol.

Avondale - close enough to Westwego. Isn't Vacherie where Oak Alley is? Wife & I love that place!

Yes it is. I saw oak alley when I was little. Mississippi runs straight through St. James, everything is on this side of the river. I haven't even seen the other side that many times. This parish only has about 20,000 or so residents. I interviewed for a job at cornerstone chemical in Waggaman. I don't think I got that one. I interviewed at the chevron in Belle Chasse, didn't hear back from that one yet. That's kinda far though.

So basically you live on the other side of the river from Oak Alley?
