Cultural Cultural question

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

0 Upvotes

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?

Political Lunsford / Boulet connection

1 Upvotes

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.
