List of Lafayette establishments to Educate

[CajunEXPRESS]

Most places outside of Lafayette are p&g all the way. Rayne, Duson, Breaux Bridge, Cecilia, Opelousas, New Iberia, Youngsville, Broussard, etc. They forget what city they are a suburb of.

Dude you need to gain a little knowledge and a little history. Opelousas is smaller than Lafayette, St Landry Parish and Opelousas have more history, and were a much larger city and parish until the oil boom of the 1940'd. It is not and will not ever be a suburb of Lafayette.

Lafayette is the major metropolitan center in the area...Opelousas might be older...but it's a suburb of Lafayette now. Regardless of history...that's what it is now.

Opelousas-St. Landry Parish is also included in the Lafayette-Acadiana Combined Statistical Area....so...its...a...sub...urb.

BINGO! This man just hit the nail on the head. You guys want a monicker that sticks out, yet you're copying off of the University of Louisville. When people from other parts of the country see a big red UL they think Louisville. Why not go with a BIG OLD "L" or an L followed by ragin cajuns? Or "Ragin L Cajun"?

Exactly. Go with LOUISIANA and an "L" and we solve ALL of our problems.
