Lafayette Strong

We remember the events from one year ago--the shock, the tragedy, the unity and the healing.

It's been one year since a shooting in a Lafayette theater took the lives of two innocent victims.

No doubt about it, I love living in Lafayette and Acadiana. I love it so much, I've never truly considered living anywhere else. It's hard to define what makes this place so irresistible to me. Is it the food? Is it the culture? Is it the music? When I start to try and put a finer point on it, I keep thinking of more reasons I love it here so much. Come to find out, the folks over at onlyinyourstate.com feel the same way, and are calling Lafayette "The Best City In America".

Last year, I noticed people building something on the corner of Camellia and Academy Road in Lafayette. I had no idea what it was for quite a while, until I finally pulled over to check it out.

Hundreds gather at Blackham Coliseum to Unite, Honor and Heal following last week's Grand Theater shooting.

Lafayette's Pixus Digital Printing printed 7,500 yard signs and 1,000 t-shirts, the proceeds from which will be donated to victims of the Grand 16 shooting.
