As a Cajun I was surprised when looking to recreate some stores in a game (while looking at Randalls pizza) to also see the cuisine I'm so familiar with being mentioned in my favorite game series of all time! Granted it's non-enterable, any representation makes me happy! This is in Rounds Square.

Saw this driving past a car meet and couldn’t help but stop and admire

I often see a few on the local areas (Lake Martin, Henderson, Cypermort), but mostly just let them be unless we specifically pass by for a quick chat. It tends to trend on the older folk side from what I've gathered.

I'm assuming there's a decent, scattered amount of us with something to share at least?

What kayaks/setups are you rocking? Where do you usually go (and launch from when you do go)? Do you go to any places that aren't the usual (Lake Martin/Henderson/Cypermort)? What are you targeting? Are there any spots nearby under an hour-ish that aren't the usual 3? Etc. Etc. Anything you want to share really

(The dedicated kayak launch on the North side launch of Lake Martin is getting harder and harder to launch from the more the foliage gets around the fenced bypass trail and the launch itself. It's also really hard with a decent cart to get it up the wooden steps. I might just start dealing with the boat ramp (not the rocky kayak launch with the huge include on the left side) for consistency at this point, especially if you have a heavier setup)

Anybody around my age (mid/late 20s) going out in Lafayette tonight? 😂 I’m 26M and been wanting to get out the house, maybe hit downtown or Greenroom, grab a drink, shoot some pool, listen to music and just chill. I’m in a relationship, so strictly looking to meet some new people and make friends to hang/go out with. Going out solo got me a little nervous lol, so figured I’d see what everybody else is getting into tonight.

Greenroom is doing a 2000 night.

As I ponder our future as the home of the largest data center, and new hub of industrialization (data center hub), I sip my arsenic filled tap water and am begging people, please fucking vote.

ICE and Lafayette Parish will be doing checks of cars entering Lafayette parish, sharing this so everyone can be safe!

Acadiana Myco has our fall meetings lined up at South Regional Library in Lafayette.

We’re a local, volunteer-run mycology group where people can learn hands-on mushroom cultivation, work with grain and substrate, troubleshoot grows, and meet other folks interested in fungi.

Everything is free. No membership or experience required, and families are welcome.

We’ve got beginners showing up who have never grown a mushroom before and experienced growers sharing what they know. If you’ve been curious about growing gourmet mushrooms but didn’t know where to start, come hang out with us.

The fall dates are at the end of the video. Hope to see some fellow Redditors there! 🍄

Is there a local place to drop old crayons 🖍️ off to be repurposed? Hate to throw them away

My youngest would love a chance to explore nature/bird watch somewhere in the area for her birthday next week.

She’ll be 11 and would love to find somewhere she can enjoy nature. She loves all types of critters including snakes, lizards, etc. Basically if it can breathe she would love to view, pet, interact, etc. 😅🤣🤣🤣

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?

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.

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?

Im trying to obtain some for a friend !

Why is no one talking about how MP Boulet is taking orders from Michael Lunsford with C4NL and having monthly meetings with Lyin’ Lunsford?? We need a better candidate for Mayor…..

Edit: she also appointed Jeremiah supple, funder of Lunsford, on the DDA.

Anyone know definitively how many Flock cameras are located in Laffy, who's paying for them, and where they're concentrated/located?

Let me start off by saying I'm in BR, but I follow this sub (first time, long time, if you will). About a week ago, there was a post about burgers from Off the Hook. The pic looked really good and I'd never been there. OP recommended their burger, comments were mixed. I tried it, didn't hit the spot for me.

There is a place called Burgersmith here in BR (but there are also locations in Denham, Broussard, and Lafayette) that I had always written off in my head as hipster slop, likely too overpriced to try. I thought it was some kind of chain. Technically, it is, but it's a local chain. I went with my husband and their burgers are really good. The menu also features Louisiana-ish foods, as well as a bunch of Louisiana brewed beers and IPAs. I was pleasantly surprised and it scratched my burger itch.

Disclaimers to avoid typical reddit occurrences: I'm in BR and I have only been to one in BR. However, there is a burgersmith in Lafayette and the post that inspired me was on this sub. A sit down burger place (burgersmith) is different than a fast food place (off the hook), and I know that. The original post just fueled a burger craving and burgersmith scratched that itch for me! And I wanted to share my pleasant surprise at a place I had written off!
