I should have said when typing on the computer I use that occasionally. If I used it out in public I don't think people would know what I was referring to; wouldn't do such a thing. But typing 3 letters is quicker than those names.
Not to insult anyone but sometimes I think Shreveport-Bossier could be considered the Southern Baptist Convention. I think more Baptists live here than any other group.

I'm certain that anyone who travels there would be pleasantly surprised. The only downside is the traffic.

It is funny! When people talk about how bad Lafayette's traffic is, it makes me crack up. We do have a few traffic issues but for the most part, it takes less then 15 minutes to get most places in Lafayette unless it is 7:45 AM or 4:45 PM. When I think traffic - I think Baton Rouge, Houston, and New Orleans.

The traffic IS pretty bad, but youre right it still isnt as bad as larger cities. I think the main problem is people driving between traffic lights and clogging up intersections, or waiting to the last second to switch into an unblocked lane approaching construction.

BR traffic can be bad, but a lot of that is several streets (Airline, Sherwood Forest, parts of Bluebonnet, Coursey, Siegen, Essen, College, I-10, I-12) at certain times.
