    I’ve ran into this situation a couple of times LA. They’re either drunk, drugged up, or looking for an aggressive driver to set up for a payday. Just back out & leave them alone & they'll go away.

    I dated a girl from Shreveport several months ago. First time I ever got off the interstate in that town. Driving to her house south of I-20…not bad. Old well cared for homes, seemed okay. Then continued on to her neighborhood. There were crackheads walking up and down the street at 11am. Louisiana has always given me weird voodoo vibes.

    This girl is like 1 of a 1000 Vietnamese people in the whole city. I kept telling her she should have moved to DFW and assimilated easily with the 100,000 thousand other people from Vietnam there. That was a summer fling to remember.

    When I was new and still OTR, I had a gal flash her legs at me on the Loop around ATL. She come up along side me, turned on her dome light and pull up her skirt to reveal some pretty shapely legs and then she sped off, only to slow down again and repeat.

    Only difference is the second time she did it she leaned over to wave, revealing a full beard. DOH!!!!!!!

    Can confirm. I had a crazy woman (according to the officer) do that to me in Houston, but that's certainly nothing they ever told us about in driving school.

    And as far as crazy drivers in Shreveport, apparently nothing has changed since I left there over 20 years ago. I learned very quickly that red lights are optional after dark, and turn signals are optional anytime.

    I'm from Louisiana. Our food is the best on the planet, bar none.

    Our state definitely has got its issues. But we love it. By far the friendliest people around.

    New Jersey, now THAT is a craphole I hope to never return to.

    I spent about four years in Louisiana. If I'd ever decided to live some place other than where I am now that's where it would be. I came real close to just staying down there.
    I usually go back every couple of years to visit friends and fill up on Cajun food. Nobody else makes food like that and eating Cajun food anywhere but Louisiana is just a waste of time.

    Now that I can agree with! As someone whose always plugged up with allergies, my sinuses don’t stand a chance of misbehaving in Louisiana.

    Look up a guy by the name of Stalecracker on any platform. You look up Louisiana Coonass and this guys picture will pop up. He’s a culinary genius. One video I saw was him catching a gator bare handed and eventually ended up on the plate. Fascinating stuff.
