Yup. Lake Charles and Alexandria are boring, depressing, dead little towns.
Used to stay summers in Pitkin. We'd go to Lake Charles on the weekends. At that point, LC was a big step up!
Been to everything in Texas more times than I'd like. Looking for something new within driving range and I haven't been to Louisiana in 10 years, so it seems like a good option.
Fuck college girls away from home?
Thinking about driving to Louisiana (from Austin) for a handful of days. Going with a couple of friends. I'll probably invite my 16 year old little sister and one of her friends so anything involving drinking or 18+ things are off limits.
I've thought about this for a whole of 5 minutes, so I haven't done much research yet. My destination will probably be New Orleans, but is there anything worth doing along the way?
I was born and raised in Lake Charles and let me tell you...
Moving to Austin, TX was the best move I could have ever made.
Let me know if you want any details about places to go in Lake Charles if you choose to stop there.
i've been hearing good things about darrell's. i've hit up steamboat bill's a couple times passing through.

I dated a girl originally from Louisiana, and we stayed at her grandparents' place for a few days. This wasn't New Orleans; this was middle of goddam nowhere.
One night, they're taking us out to a "crawdad shack." We're driving in the rice paddies for miles and miles, and I pretty much resign myself to the fact that they're taking me out to the middle of nowhere to murder me. See, I'm not exactly a white dude, and these mofos are waicist like you've never seen.
Turns out that they really are taking us out to a crawfish shack. It's this tin building with plywood floors in the middle of nowhere. The tables are covered in newspaper, and there's condiments on the table. You order 5lb servings of boiled crawfish with boiled potatoes and boiled corn built in. No menus, no plates, and if you arrive too late... no dinner because they run out at the end of the night.
Drive a few more hours to get to the Florida panhandle and enjoy yourself.
I'm not looking for a big trip. Just something in the nearby area. Honestly, New Orleans is further than I originally wanted to go, but with a stop in Houston, its alright.
Thanks for all the suggestions guys. Any suggestions for things to do inside in New Orleans (so we can escape the mid day heat)?
