Main Street - Broussard, Louisiana №8

A distinguishing feature of many southern Louisiana towns, and indeed Southern towns, is a water tower. Water tables being what they are, it's not for nothing that these are the solutions local utilities opt for.

 

Right about near the railroad tracks, the nature of Broussard changes a little - the old adage about the "wrong side of the tracks" is indeed true in a way - especially if you're sitting right next to them.

 

I contacted the mayor about the possibility of getting up the ladder rungs, to shoot some panoramics of Broussard and Youngsville. His response, verbatim: "Slim and none".

 

At least I asked.
