And there are certainly some honorable exceptions. But anyone who knows Louisiana knows its characterization as corrupt is spot-on.

You come on up to Dallas, Jagged. That's where I am. My family moved from Baton Rouge to Texas when I was a baby to seek better employment and a better atmosphere for a family. This place is superficial, politically conservative, money-driven and hot as heck in the summertime. But it's an improvement over Louisiana!

Oh and my girlfriend and I have been looking at it a lot and that looks like the perfect place. We looked at condo's for the hell of it and they are so much cheaper and nicer than anything you will find around here. Plus I'm still debating between teaching and tech writing. Dallas would be a step up for both of those. At least tech writing. She wants to go into publishing and they have a lot of publishing houses. The out look seems a lot nicer there than most places.
JaggedEdge Reviewed by JaggedEdge on . Never move to Louisiana. I'm dead serious. There are quit a few college students on these boards, high school lurkers, and more accomplished people who may consider relocating for what ever reason. What ever you do, DO NOT MOVE TO LOUISIANA. Why you might ask? Let me put it this way: We were looking for an apartment on the south shore (New Orleans area) and the best deal we were able to find was a 360 sq ft. studio for $550 a month. On the Northshore, the average 1 bedroom apartment will cost around $700 a month. On top of Rating: 5
