I have lived in Destrehan for 22 years, and I have made many lifelong friends from it. Because it is a small town, more meaningful friendships have been able to blossom. One thing I would love to see change in Destrehan is the food and shopping choices. Being that it is so small, it is hard to open new stores and restaurants because it is hard to keep business booming.
Living in Destrehan is having the best of both worlds - we are 15 miles from the unique culture of New Orleans and yet we are a quiet, safe neighborhood with a much sought-after sense of community. Our public school system is second to none, we boost of a widely renowned swamp conservation program in our school system and beyond. There is a fabulous community education program offered to all ages. Business is strong with several chemical plants nearby who proudly donate to our school enrichment programs and businesses. They work closely with our schools and one of our school programs allow our students access to and participation in procedures and experiments in the plants in real-time!
One area I would like to see improved is having traffic lights installed at one particular junction near my house as there can be traffic jams at rush hours.
Other than that I am so proud and blessed to be a Destrehanian!!
