Some thoughts on the differences between the two places.
Dry vs. humid; desert vs. swamp/tropical rainforest.
In LA, inmates are allowed to do private labor. I left Tunk’s Cypress Inn the other night, and saw 3 young men sitting on the entrance steps. A van from the Rapides Parish Sheriff’s Dept pulled up and picked them up. The work there as dishwashers and assistants.
I walked into the Rite Aid, and the first product near the door, taking up two long aisles, was liquor. Idaho has a state monopoly. When you buy a bottle of beer in Alexandria, the store clerk will let you use a bottle opener. I saw a place that sells Margaritas, via a drive through window.
Boise has very visible dry cleaners. You see them all over as you drive the main streets. It took me a week to find a dry cleaner in Alexandria, by driving around.
