Lake Charles is a small town (about 80K people) located in Southwest Louisiana about 30 miles to the east of the Texas Border. The city is on a lake (Lake Charles) and its primary industries are petroleum refining, LNG, gasification, importing/exporting, casinos and offshore oil production support.

McNeese State University is located in Lake Charles. Bird watching, Hunting and fishing are popular sporting activities in the area. Mardi Gras and Contraband Days are large events for the city.

The pace is pretty slow, but the city is about to see some large growth. There are some major projects in the near future.
Lake Charles is between Lafayette and Beaumont.

a town between beaumont and lafayette in the state of louisiana. It is typically a rainy state, not experiencing any seasons other than rainy and summer.. The primary high school in lake charles is AM Barbe. This is the source of educated citizens living in Lake Charles. Most of these people are of substandard education, 60% of whom do not know where mexico is by the end of their college education. Of the entering freshmen class, 30% of people are high school dropouts..

The college in lake charles is Mcneese State University. This university is currently under review by SAACKS for academic substandard education.

Furthermore, this city is devoid of activity other than mardi gras and chemical production, the wastes being dumped into Lake Charles.

So basically, lake charles is a place where educated chemical engineers dump their waste.. its a toiletbowl of whitetrash and shit..

The roads in lake charles are substandard compared to most american cities.
So are going to college in Lake Charles?
Yeah, its a hellhole..

A Connection of 4 cities within the Southern Component of Louisiana which is considered unofficially by State a New Orleans-Baton Rouge-Lafayette-Lake Charles Metroplex. Similar to the Official Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex in North Texas. The Alternative name for it is "The 4-Plex Territory/Area" or "The 4"

The New Orleans-Baton Rouge-Lafayette-Lake Charles Metroplex should have been a proposal a long time ago to enhance and increase the attraction of the principal/chief city which is New Orleans. It worked with Dallas and Fort Worth, so it should work with new orleans and the following cities! The Unofficial New Orleans-Baton Rouge-Lafayette-Lake Charles Metropolitan Area would be 2,817,540 people and that would place New Orleans at Number 14 on the All Time Combined Statistical Area which is currently held by The Orlando-Deltona-Daytona Beach, FL CSA (Combined Statistical Area) at 2,747,614
Say Bruh if the Most High says the same, I will move Back to the "4-Plex New Orleans-Baton Rouge-Lafayette-Lake Charles Metroplex/The 4-Plex ya heard me?

This place is a cesspool, thanks to the people! I have never seen so many smokers in my life. And what do you do with the old cigarette butts and ashes in your car, why you dump them at the next red light, of course. I have lived here for almost 2 years and cannot believe the way locals treat there own city. I saw a post that talked about the "Proud" people of this area. Here's how proud they are of the land. Don't take your used motor oil to the auto store to be disposed of properly, do like my neighbor suggested and pour it along your fence line to kill the weeds.....Nice, very nice. This guy has lived here all his life. Maybe that’s why I won't drink the tap water. Ohh, the tap water, every 5 months there is a build up of a black goo around my toilet water and the faucet head. Looks great when you’re washing your hands and this goo comes off into your hands. I asked my neighbor about it and he said it was normal. One of my favorite things is the drive into work every morning over the I-210 Bridge and getting a whiff of that pungent refinery plant brew that continues to be pumped into the air.
Lake Charles, Louisiana. Mmmmmmmmmm, I love the smell of lung cancer in the morning. It's not one of those smells you associate with nature either. If you like the rain then Seattle ain't got nothing on this place. And if it's not raining then it’s humid and hot. Oh, that’s right I forgot. The weather is decent here from November to March, ooooh you get 5 months of cool weather. Oh did I mention this is a college town? Most people think of college towns being pedestrian friendly city's with all the college kids. Not so my friend, try to ride your bike anywhere and you get to join the flow of traffic as they proceed to honk and throw things at you because you’re in their way. I had one lady tell me most of the people she ever saw on bikes around here are usually homeless. Nice huh! Louisiana is called the "Sportsman’s Paradise" well if you consider fishing and hunting a sport then so be it. That’s all they do around here, shoot things and catch things in the polluted water. That's right I said polluted water. Have you seen the number of refineries around the water ways here? About a year ago one of the cargo ships with a load of oil spilled its contents into the water around the lake area where all those beautiful homes are built. 15,000-18,000 barrels of the good stuff. The EPA and coast guard ordered all recreational use of the water banned until the spill was cleaned up.
