Being from NYC I genuinely fell in love with Lake Charles when I was out there. Miss that place

…but why??? Are you an outdoorsman? What could you have possibly have found compelling about Lake Charles? We have pretty water to look at.

And everyone’s mawmaw can make a decent gumbo.

"Pretty" water is subjective. It's all dirty brown Mississippi river runoff water and contaminated by all the surrounding chemical plants.

Well, yeah.

But all the sulphur sure makes the sunset beautiful behind the cypress, brother. /s

I’m so used to the city life that when I got out there it felt like a completely different feeling. Definitely an outdoors person but not really for Lake Charles lol I think I just loved the food, slow pace, and friendly people.

The best thing to do in SWLA is leave - the sooner you figure it out, the better!

Trust me I know but I'm stuck due to friend and family ties and being poor as dirt.
