There's more of a culture shock moving from city to country than there is from country to city. Everyone is a little more racist in small towns, both sides. Everyone will know who you are and your name because you are the new face in town. Rural life is great but its definitely a slower lifestyle....slower in every way possible. Takes longer to check out at grocery, takes longer to get dinner, takes longer at hardware store, everyone wants to chat. Its great but it took some time to adjust.



Not sure why you’re getting downvoted into oblivion. Bogalusa is racist as hell from both sides especially in the over 50 crowd. Moved to Franklinton last year and live in town. There’s no standalone watering hole because somebody’s grandma might get upset if they find out you’re drinking(outside of your own house)

leaving out the racism angle, for whatever reason people feel the need to always "defend" the small town/country lifestyle from legit criticism.

i'd ultimately like to end up where i grew up, but i know that it is not some sort of land of enchantment with none of the issues that come with a more urban lifestyle like so many lifelong city/suburb people seem to think.

You're right about no stand alone bar but congrats on saving your life and moving out of the BOG.
