Acadia Parish Reviews
Rating 2.9 out of 5 10 reviews
We have a good balance of popular national chain stores as well and the mom-an-pop stores. Therefore, the shopping is a good variety to choose from locally. We have major grocery stores to smaller grocery stores and this concept applies from restaurants to home improvement stores to clothing and retail stores.
With a population of 17,000 or so, there are not a lot of choices. We have two Mexican restaurants and pizza places and the usual fast food places and some mom-and-pop places. For the most part, I choose what's in town because of the convenience. Otherwise, I would rather travel the extra 30-40 minutes for a larger variety.
This area is home. It does have some flaws, however the good outweigh the bad. Even though things may not be constantly improving, they are for the most part not getting worse. If I could do it all over again, I would live here.
