REMOTE, SMALL LOUISIANA TOWN OF RAYNE, LA

[@blast4me754]

As someone that's living in a major city I wouldn't mind going there just to get away for a minute. Slow, peaceful, simple and boring can be a beautiful thing.

[@R32R38]

And you're only about 15 miles from the decent sized city of Lafayette.

[@SBankzee]

Anywhere that looks impoverished is not where I’d like to go.

[@Sloptit]

@@SBankzee Good with us. Don't need anyone coming in snootin they noses at us poors. We'll keep on enjoying life how we can.

[@devintaylor8702]

AMEN 🙏

[@ribbrascal]

​@@SloptitI just moved away from living among the Hispanic poors The poors can't even be bothered to be clean, which is easy Even when I was homeless, I kept it clean and neat

[@geraldspud36]

You back in the boot with it now which is mi home state. All my Louisianas please check in

[@mdmarko]

In general this town looks much better than most of the places we've seen. A welcome change of pace.

[@bailey-k6b]

Ya I'd rather see quaint towns, nice and relaxing.. as opposed to dirty, smelly inner-cities

[@brobro3337]

Thanks I live in Rayne we pide ourselves on keeping it clean even tho it's got so.e poverty

[@dennis_mennis]

These videos are hypnotic.

[@JH-kl5vi]

This was so refreshing. Reminds me of SmallTown, NC. Beautiful feelings coming from watching this. Can't say why

[@davidtoups4684]

Pretty typical for a small town in SW Louisiana

[@JH-kl5vi]

@@davidtoups4684 I've never seen any more than Baton Rouge and New Orleans. Didn't even know these type towns existed in Louisiana🤣 And I lived there for 3 years🤦🏽‍♂️

[@LegaciesRetrieval]

@@JH-kl5visome small towns are laid back here, in others you can’t let the clean environment fool you.

[@GoodTrouble55]

I grew up in this town… I haven’t been back for quite a few years and to see my aunts house, the corner store Vennables. The empty lot where my great great grandfather had his house in that empty lot behind Vennables. Think my family still owns that land. My dad and brothers are there. Just reminds me of some of the good times there. All of Rayne doesn’t look like this. This is the black side of town, white side doesn’t look like that. This town is really separated by the railroad tracks.😢 I hope to go back one day. Sad to see my home town looking like this. 😞

[@brobro3337]

Me too

[@davidtoups4684]

I had an Uncle from Crowley (about 10min west of Rayne) and my Father grew up in Kaplan which is about 17mi south of Rayne

[@Septina-s1x]

I'm from Crowley...I'm kin to everyone in Rayne...My Family name is the Butler...My name is Septina Willis...Thanks for the ride...❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Rayne, the home of LSU's Great, Josh Reed. Also the home of the Frog Festival, ya heard me!!

[@Adrian-xb1rx]

I love being in small old fashion towns,especially when the city have dirt roads and alot of pine trees ...To me small country towns are better because there's no noise pollution like Big Cities,the police don't fuck with you ,and you can have space to have a big barbecue with your fam..

[@1n2333]

Actually the police are far more likely to fuck with you here rather than a big city due to the fact that there is small area to cover and often too many officers per citizen. Small towns in south Louisiana are the complete opposite place you want to be if you don't want police to bother you.

[@Adrian-xb1rx]

That might be true in LA but in Georgia the laws don't fuc with you like that in the small rural towns ...

[@1n2333]

​@@Adrian-xb1rx There was just a video 2 days ago of Reform police tasing a man in handcuffs after being harassed by them for changing his tire. Reform AL, look it up... This is very common in random small towns in all over the south as these police departments officers struggle to find eligible officers, they will hire anyone they can get. You might get lucky you might not. It's a huge gamble. It depends on if the town is ran by good people or not. Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama are places where you are much more likely to have your rights violated due to poor funding and minimal training. Also it's much easier for them to target you when the population is only 1-10k ppl vs. a huge city like 500k+. If you're able to live in a small towns in one of these States and the police has never fucked with you, consider yourself very blessed.

[@devintaylor8702]

AMEN 🙏

[@billstill1794]

Many (battered) homes built slightly off the ground - must be a lot of standing water there whenever it raynes!

[@brobro3337]

[@frankwoods4532]

A few decent houses, some nice cars and trucks, but NO to this area. Thanks for the ride.😀😃👍👍

[@jpsaint5856]

You have to take this video with a grain of salt lol there's SEVERAL nice looking homes in rayne. Towards the end of the video if he would've turned right and keep going there's nothing but big ass homes next to the train tracks. Not sure why he only showed a small section of broken down homes

[@bobbyharris3426]

It's a quiet town

[@astrology4u]

Looks like Darrow Louisiana.

[@reallyfedup5070]

I would go visit.❤

[@bloodsiphon4695]

Rayne isn't remote. It has an interstate running through it lol

[@Sloptit]

Who stopping in rayne though outside frog festival?

[@hoffpauirconcrete.semperfidCC]

That was my first thought when I saw the title

[@1940limited]

Most of the homes are on pilings. I guess the area floods. Where does the water come from?

[@davidburns585]

Rain. A lot of Louisiana is at or below sea level. Once the ground gets too saturated, it starts to pool and flood. They call it “low country” in some parts.

[@LegaciesRetrieval]

The land changes over time in places where the top soil is clay, sand, or loose dirt. The rainwater erodes the sediments banks next to rivers, bayou’s, and lakes leading “bowls” as the drainage gets backed up. Years later, small hills will form in other areas from as those sediments deposit on top of each other from currents carrying them from another area.

[@cluny]

check out the cemetery. When the water table is 1/2 inch below, caskets tend to work their way up like a cork. A cement vault helps prevent that.

[@hoffpauirconcrete.semperfidCC]

Its not about flooding its just cheaper to build them that way

[@kevincantz1277]

It’s quite remarkable, though. No matter how run down an area is there’s always roads, stop signs, street signs, etc.

[@ChristineRobinette-ue2mj]

I can't get past the garbage cans. They are assigned. Even the store had them

[@Sloptit]

Im confused as hell why he riding around rayne.

Worked on a house in Eunice in the summer. Seems laid back as though you bother no one and mind your business they won’t bother you.

[@kellmott1]

im from rayne and u didnteven get close to half of it u was in the hood thats it

[@jpsaint5856]

This place is no where near as bad as the video making it seem lol towards the end of the video if he would've turned right or keep going forward theres NOTHING but nice homes there lol. Hell across the tracks theres nothing but well made built homes. Rayne is nowhere closed to being hood now, the police steady patrolling now. 10-12 years ago though this place was a mess. And to add they built like 6-8 brand new homes on empty lots so all these bad looking houses are getting torn down for new homes getting build.

[@angeebb3080]

Nope, I couldn't do it. This town looks depressing as hell.

[@1940limited]

Strange a few brick homes on corner lots with fenced n yards and nicely maintained are amidst all the dilapidated shacks, many of which appear to not eve be lived in. Why would anyone build a nice house there?

[@LegaciesRetrieval]

The land comes cheap, more cheap than what you’d find in most areas of the country.

[@hoffpauirconcrete.semperfidCC]

This town has many million dollar homes he just drove through the worst parts of town
