So we had a meeting last night to think of more things to hunt for. Sumedh, Kyle, and I have found ourselves leaning toward local businesses/ places with history. We like the idea of this scavenger hunt not only being a way to fart around during spring break and show a little competitiveness, but also a way for everyone involved to feel a little more connected to South Louisiana - because it really is a great place!
Of course there will be some generic things that one could find anywhere, but we're sending you all around South LA - You'll know where all of these great touristy places are as well as the places only locals know about. We really hope that this 'theme' will be exciting for everyone and enrich your lives here - you might find a new place to sit and think, a new place to get inspired, or a new place to spend an afternoon.
Let us know what you think about this, or any suggestions you have for neat places off the beaten path.
If you don't want everyone to know what you suggest, email Kyle ( k.j.rohen@gmail.com ) or myself ( madisonbarras@gmail.com ).

Opelousas, Grand Coteau, and Arnaudville are steeped in history. Buildings, historical markers and so on--and just a 20 mile drive at the most.
ReplyDeleteArnaudville has a new "artsy" area with music and arts; Grand Coteau is full of religious historical sites and antique stores.
Opelousas is the third oldest city in Louisiana and was the capital of Louisiana during the Civil War.(I even know where the state capital building is)
Breaux Bridge is cool as well--all of St Martin parish is awesome--St. Martinville is very historical.
There may be a festival or two going on as well!
