This. Would have loved to move to Lake Charles. Job postings are few and far between and usually don’t pay anything.

I want to say it was named Nova after the original owner who’s last name was Teranova. The daughter was in my 6th grade class. Not sure how I can remember her name when I can’t remember what I had for lunch.
