Grew up in Shreveport, have lived in NO for 30 years. I have not experienced much in the way of anti-north La bias here. If anything, the people who most like to denigrate North La are the insecure turds in and around Baton Rouge. Which is funny, because BR is pretty similar to Shreveport in more ways than they want to admit. It’s not exactly overflowing with “Louisiana flavor.”

South LA smells like swamp arse and waste oil. So there’s that.

Southern Arkansas is better and that’s coming from a Southern LA below I-10 resident. A real Cajun basically.

The old families up there live in both states. Many are born in one and live in the other. They have cousins in both.


South of Eudora, Arkansas on the Louisiana line there is a road called ArkLa rd and if you cross the road you are in the other state. If you call across the street on a landline it is a long distance call.

That would make a good country song leadin….haha

It’s kind of hard to lump all of NorthLa and SouthArk together. Where I live in north central LA is the piney hills which is pretty much as named. Once you cross the Ouachita river going east everything gets really flat, and its primarily farmland. SouthArk is like this as well with Magnolia, El Dorado being piney hills. Once you get over to Eudora it’s all farmland. Going up the red river from Shreveport to Texarkana it’s lots of farmland as well, but not as flat as northeast LA.

I'm from Bogalusa, live in Franklinton. I seem to identify more closely with the electricians and mechanics from the Sipp than I do with the operators from Acadiana.

Let us know when Shreveport or Monroe requires a state bailout to make the payroll. The tards running New Orleans don’t even know with reasonable accuracy how many city employees they have.


And yet that city is the economic engine of the state.

Cool thread.
Is South Louisiana, coastal Mississippi & SoAl almost exactly the same?

I went to LSU but had a scholarship offer from Tech while in high school so I took a visit, that was the most boring and desolate little town I’d ever been to, at 17 years old :lol and I grew up in north Louisiana I was going to LSU no matter what but no way I’m spending those four years in Ruston, no wonder those German POWs were volunteering to go to the Siberian front when they got there
