I live in this unincorporated part of East baton Rouge, and this article is garbage!
I will be the goat...what does this have to do with Ragin Cajuns Athletics... Am I missing something?
Probably should have put it into another forum.
Nothing, i guess if it passes it will replace Lafayette as the 5th largest city in the state, but im reaching. nevermind, Nothing to do with Ragin Cajun Athletics as far as I can see
No offense here. I live in Houston. I didn't know if there was a connect to Lafayette or Acadiana with the post.Quote:

HUD math---lafayette 125K---parish used for the city interchangeably---AHHHHH lafayette has about 235K and is one of the fastest growing areas in the country!!!!! We will be at a quarter of a million pretty soon!!!Quote:
