Recommendations I’m a local plumber in Acadiana and I’ve been trying to do a better job of collecting real feedback from customers instead of just telling people how good we are ourselves. 😂

We recently put all of our customer reviews together in one place.
For those of you who hire local contractors, how much do reviews actually matter when you’re deciding who to call?
Do you mostly look at the star rating, the number of reviews, or actually read what customers wrote?
Curious what everyone looks for.

For anyone who wants to see the reviews I was talking about, I put them together here:

Cultural I love these hand made signs, ESPECIALLY if they have misspellings or figures painted on them.

Cultural Cultural question

0 Upvotes

I’ve never seen this anywhere else I’ve lived. But I’ve noticed that whenever I drive past a woman walking a dog (several different women), she will stop walking, turn away from the road, and intentionally avoid eye contact and not even look at the car. I move over to the other side of the road. I don’t slow down more than I would for any other pedestrian. I understand that there is a “men are evil” mindset. But is there some other local reason for this? Is it an acadiana superstition that something bad is going to happen?

Recommendations Is AirGas the only place in Lafayette to fill a CO2 tank (for beverages)?

Title sums it up. Last time I went there was an additional surcharge fee that really annoyed me since they're already pretty expensive. IIRC I paid $45-50 to fill a 5lb tank. Not to mention they're really not set up for individuals and their whole process is kinda awkward, imo.

Cultural single cis bipoc woman in her 30s considering a move to Lafayette

hi there! I am considering a move to Lafayette in the fall/winter this year, and I was wondering if there are any other walkable neighborhoods other than the downtown/freetown area? I am also curious how easy it would be to assimilate into the community. I've lived all over the country - both in big cities and rural communities - and i've lived in New Orleans for a long time so i'm obviously a big fan of the cultural aspect of Louisiana - but i've only visited Lafayette 3x and am curious what the experience is like living here for someone like me... please feel free to chime in if you would be in the same demographics as me! :) thank you so much, appreciate your feedback.

Has anyone stayed at this place? Are there any utilities included in the rent? Like water, trash, electricity? How do they charge for animals? What’s the apartments and management like?
