Has anyone ever stopped in this smaller city, or knew someone who lived in this city for a while, or heck even stopped in Lafayette briefly on a roadtrip? And if they ever spent any time here, can mention anything they really liked about this city?
It looks like it'd probably be an alright smaller city to stop off at, and explore IF you lived somewhere along the Sunset Limited route. Too bad the 3 times a week schedule of the Sunset Limited would make doing a trip here from New Orleans(or west of here, Houston, San Antonio, LAX, etc) tough to pull off, since you'd have to spend at least 2 nights here before traveling back. Although I do see University of Louisiana-Lafayette(ULL) does operate a local university art museum here, along with a few other things one could do(i.e. any events in what I believe is ULL's art center). Also I see there is some sort of nature preserve one could walk into, on the northeast section of town.
I don't think I am going to stop here on my upcoming CONO-Sunset-Eagle southerly Amtrak train trip in January 2020, but more am posting this since I'd like to learn some additional info on Lafayette I don't yet know. And since this city has never been posted, on this board before. Thanks to anyone who can respond and fill myself and others in, on what they know about Lafayette.
