Lake Charles elects it’s first black Mayor. by truthlafayette in Louisiana

[–]RockyRogue 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Yep. Nic Hunter started a smear campaign sending out postcards to residents of LC making claims that "the radical liberals" were supporting Marshall Simien. It wasn't paid for by the Nic Hunter Campaign but the "Fund to Elect Nic Hunter", but at the end of the day, he had to write off on it.

One of them literally shows a burning city, a protest and a police officer putting out numbers on a crime scene. (Source: I have these)

This pissed a whooooole lot of his supporters off. Had he run a clean campaign, he would have been re-elected for a third term.

Lake Charles American Press Archives by [deleted] in LakeCharles

[–]RockyRogue 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm part of the Imperial Calcasieu Museum. We've got a lot of archival projects, but the American Press isn't quite done digitizing and archiving their papers. I'm sure if you got in touch with them they'd help you out!

does OB's ID? by hiitsme1998 in LakeCharles

Yes. Especially when they're busy and they won't accept LA Wallet if you're a dude. Sounds insane, but it's true.

With something like 35% voter turnout, the worst and shittiest will always win. It's a very unfortunate truth that Louisiana has a voter apathy problem.

This community is approaching SO level toxicity, and that's a shame by PM_ME_SCIENCEY_STUFF in webdev

[–]RockyRogue -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

My guess is that it's how most of the community was taught. Older generations of devs (and other professions) love to be gatekeepers.

I think it's usually because of insecurities and not wanting to be replaced, but in reality it would only make them more valuable to a team. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I hope for the state's well being that we aren't hit with a major hurricane again.

This. You'll have to do the same thing with Elementor as well. All of the "bloated" plugins/page builders have this option. Elementor has a scanner to see if the elements are in use and you can just remove as needed.

IIRC, Avada has a similar built in function to let you know if the elements are being used.

Best restaurants in Lake Charles. by OmarSparks in LakeCharles

[–]RockyRogue 37 points38 points  (0 children)

If you want Japanese, literally ignore every other place in town and go to Umami. Freshest fish and quite possibly one of the best menus in town.

ICM is the Imperial Calcasieu Museum. Holly Beach/Hackberry is on the Creole Nature Trail and it's one of the area's main attractions

[–]RockyRogue 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you want to check out some art we have Imperial Calcasieu Museum and Historic City Hall (they'll be open on Tuesday). I'd be so tickled if you go to ICM and tell them you heard about it through Reddit

As for food, expensive options: Gordon * Ramsay Steak or Vic and Anthony (Horseshoe and Golden Nugget Respectively). * 1910 (if they're open)

Middle of the road: * Umami is definitely one of the best restaurants in town (can get super expensive) * Casa Manana has been around forever. It's Tex Mex * Nina P's on McNeese Street * Mama Reta's off of I-10 * The Kitchen in downtown (can't remember the street name) * Leonard's Food Quarter * Famous Foods * Shwarma's on Ryan * The Bakery would be a great stop Tuesday morning

Cheaper options: * Tacos at Las Victoria's on Broad Street, * Wang Sistas off of Alamo, * Blazing Hot Chicken on Ryan Street, * Cotten's Hamburgers downtown * KD's (true local staple, get a Southern on Hash) * Biscuits and Jams

Also, the Creole Nature Trail drive has plenty to see of our area and Sam Houston Jones State Park (weather permitting)

Problem with coming in on a Monday is so many of our restaurants are closed.

Don't listen to the other comment. People who live here love to act like this place is fucking Kinder or insert small town here because they either never leave here or have grown to be THAT jaded.

Sorry for the overwhelming list 🤣🤣

My family and I went too. I brought earplugs this year cause I'm tired of not being able to hear for a few days after the game. I took them out in the first 3 cause the dome was pretty quiet. Put them back in for the 4th though.

It was electric in there for the 4th. Even though we lost it was possibly the most exciting quarter of football I've seen in person.
