    Outside of the Cajun-prairie cowboys, how does Lake Charles have a "Texas-feel", when much of SE TX culture comes from Acadiana? Lafayette may be larger on paper, but Lake Charles looks bigger thanks to its skyline & frwy system. @9:12, did you really have to say "county"?🙃

    New Iberia, Sunset, Breaux Bridge are not suburbs of Lafayette! They are not even part of Lafayette Parish! I-10 runs from East end of the US to the West side& is not a street in Lafayette. And that's not Ambassador Caffery you pointing to its University Ave. Come'on I'd want my realtor to be better than this guy who doesn't seem to know anything about the great city of Lafayette!!

    • @DrakeAbshireLivingInLafayette
      @DrakeAbshireLivingInLafayette 15 วันที่ผ่านมา

      First of all, I’m born and raised from this area and know it like the back of my hand. If you zoom out on a map yes those are small towns, but part of the greater Lafayette are. When people refer to areas around Houston or any other city it’s the same thing. The towns surrounding they consider suburbs of the area cause they don’t feel like the big city like Lafayette feels. Also reading a map online is hard while recording cause they don’t provide the street name in certain views. A simple mistake.

    Lafayette has a genocidal islam problem: Lafayette, Louisiana Imam At Friday Sermon: 'Oh Allah, Annihilate The Jews And The Christians... Their Helpers, Kill Them One By One, Do Not Spare A Single One' In a June 21, 2024 Friday sermon at Lafayette, Louisiana, the imam said in his supplication: "Oh Allah, annihilate the Jews and the Chris… Oh Allah, annihilate the Jews and their helpers. […] kill them one by one and do not spare a single one of them." The sermon was streamed live on the Facebook page of the Islamic Center of Lafayette, which gave no indication as to the identity of the imam. However, online research suggests that the imam was Mohamad El-Saleh, whom according to news reports, represented the Islamic Center at a November 7, 2023 interfaith prayer for peace in the Middle East along with Christian and Jewish faith leaders and government officials at the Lafayette city hall. The Islamic Center of Lafayette has ties to the Muslim Students Association of the University of Lafayette, and is located near the University of Louisiana, Lafayette campus. (MEMRI . org)

    I’m going to say, I don’t think you’re originally from the area and that is strictly due to how you pronounce Abshire. I’m in St. Martin parish and I believe my family near Nola pronounces it the way you do. One thing that I would love to have known before purchasing is the water quality issues in the suburbs. Our water has been so bad that I developed a chronic skin condition that has no cure. It’s so contaminated that we have to replace appliances, it’s hard to get a whole house filter system because within a few hours, they become blocked. We have a lawsuit against the company, but it’s been this bad for over 20 years. If we had the option to move, I wouldn’t look back. I hold a lot of anger for thinking that this was where I wanted to live definitely research the water supply and see how they have been graded. This is mostly in towns not in Lafayette parish.
