I used to live in one of those towns not far from a place called Crowley that lies in the sweltering flatlands beneath I-10, a fading city of low two- and three-story brick buildings that lead down Parkerson Avenue to the square built around the old WPA courthouse. When I was last there, nearly 40 years ago, the jail was in the basement.

Acadiana became a frozen winter wonderland Monday and Acadia Parish was no different.
Videographer and drone enthusiast Vinny Rousseau took his drone out to Crowley and shot this video of the city from above covered in white.
The video shows several areas of the city, including Parkerson Avenue, Supreme Rice Mill, and Miller Stadium.
