I honestly think Natchitoches has worse roads than New Orleans (shocking, right?). It's just the city is A LOT smaller so there's a far more concentrated area of suck. I'm staying in Shreveport next week-- **** that town.

Oh yeah, welcome to the site John.

Ferraris don't burn enough gas. Exxon's probably buying each of our politicians Suburbans.

I'm on oil's pay roll. I better keep my mouth shut.

Yeah...the girlfriend lives in timberlane too .....I hate that damn road....luckily she lives on the other side of lapalco though.

As for Elysian fields....I take it a little ways down but then I get off and go onto a side street that isnt bad and goes straight to UNO.

My car isn't as low but I either take West Esplanade from Williams to Lakeshort Drive or the Interstate to Causeway and then hop on West Esplanade from there to Lakeshore drive. Roads aren't bad around there.

Lakeshore actually isnt out the way. I timed it with a friend of mine one time going to school. She took slidell and I took west end. I beat her to UNO. Its just the fact that traffic going onto that slidell exit sucks.

If you take Elysian Fields,
make a left on Canton St.
Right on Norman Mayer Ave.
which turns into St. Anthony Ave. and take that all the way down to Leon C. Simon Blvd.

This a lot better than just going straight down Elysian Fields which I can't make without scraping **** all the way down.

I saw a black 03-04 Z with a temp plate last night downtown around 11:00pmish on either magazine or camp. I forgot which street I saw it on but it was parked on the side. Posibbly you?

If it had black rims as well it's probably my boy Matt.

It had stockers. But I think I might have seen your boy Matt's too. I see several downtown they just happen to be going the opposite way.
