I've done a fair amount of traveling over the years, and everyplace I go I do two things: 1. Take plenty of photos and 2. Attempt to get a feel for the "local flavor". Generally, I enjoy the places I go, but there have been a few places that I have been to which I will never return. The portion of Louisiana I-20 runs through is one of those places. Honest to [insert your religious leader of choice here], I pulled over at a gas station in LA and wanted to use the restroom. I was told to go, "Out back, and around the corner." I did just that, and BOOM! toilet in the gas station's backyard. I held it until the next McDonald's. This was after passing the RV parked on the side of the highway selling confederate flags and other civil war mementos. Classy.

I could sit here and rattle off a list of places I'll never visit again, but I might alienate readers and I still need the traffic. I'll save the smack talk for a day when I can afford to alienate readers. (But if I were to list places I'd never go to, I might say I have no desire to return to Biloxi, MS. The ugly city. I might say I'd never return to Arkansas either. The dirty state. Of course those are strictly hypotheticals.)
