Is It Safe To Stay at a Louisiana Truck Stop...?

Next time stay in Slidell rent a car and find the other half of the city Uptown Garden district etc you will be amazed

 

Me either; and in my 15 years of driving solo as a woman: I’ve never felt unsafe except for 1 time about 12 years ago outside the market in the Bronx..I’ve stayed all over the place in the south on 20 and 10 and 59... no problems.. but, I don’t go looking for them either.. I’m kinda a loner.. lol

 

I stop inAtchafayala at the little place just west of river on north side.Best cracklings Shrimp Poboys And Boudin Balls everyday people line up to buy em .The little restaurant has a bunch of pictures of Locals with catches of alligator gar etc along with a sad article of about a few of them drowning a few years back.I have lost my Grandfather and two uncles to the Mississippi River myself. Hits home and very interesting to me.

 

The scariest place I’ve seen was a Pilot in Houston 3 accidents in 1 hour.

 

I love the rest stop in between on the bridge: that’s my place to stop!

 

Have stopped at Flying J in Atlanta GA, Shreveport LA was just to tired to bother to check and survived to tell the tail best check any police reports with the local media to see if there's been lots of incidents in that vicinity.

 

Dang now the secret is out. Plus they have free coffee

 

Every time I’m in Louisiana it’s waaaay scary. As soon as I step out of my vehicle, some psycho starts banjo plucking the beginning of Deliverance!

 

Just do what I do most of the time. Locate a Target, Lowes, or Home Depot, and rest easy. Never had a problem
