Black Bayou Lake National Wildlife Refuge
vigi Says: This is another beautiful must see. Cannot imagine Monroe have some many nice Bayou. The existing refuge consists of pristine wetlands associated with a 1600-acre, shallow, cypress-studded lake, riparian areas, and reforested farm fields in the watershed. The area provides...
ULMFAN Says: When in Monroe, you must eat at Johnny's Pizza and Ray's PeGe's.The best pizza in Louisiana is the "sweep-the-kitchen" pizza. This pizza has everything on it!At Ray's PeGe's. you must order a "po-boy with curly-Q's" and before you leave buy an ice cream. WOW!
amydee Says: This was the home of Emmy Lou Biedenharn - the daughter (I believe) of the original Biedenharns that first bottled Coca-Cola. Built by Joseph Biedenharn in 1913. The house features unique Coca-Cola memoribilia, and even offers 5 cent bottled cokes in the gardens once the...
turnip2000 Says: The only real art museum in N.E. Louisiana. Has a rotating collection and just check to see what types of exhibitions they have. The Masur family graciously donated their notable home to the City of Monroe in 1963 for the express purpose of creating a permanent art museum....

Bennigan's: A wee bit of Ameri-Irish
ATXtraveler Says: When I travel, I try my best to eat at local restaurants, because it gives you a taste of the area. Unfortunately, when you get into a town late at night, and do not have any trusted advisors, it is time to get a meal from a chain location. Since we were in restaurant row,...
Warehouse No. 1 Restaurant: Southern Food on the river
turnip2000 Says: A nice spot to eat on the river and have great food. One of the nicer eateries in Monroe. Might need to make a reservation on a weekend because there are not many nice places left...the "Applebies" chains have taken over.... Fried catfish with hush puppies and sweet...
Podnuh's Bar-B-Q: Best Bar-B-Q
turnip2000 Says: Some may disagree, but I love this Texas style Barbeque. It rocks and their potato salad is out of this world. The atmosphere is fast food like and a bit "western". I would suggest getting it to go and find a spot for a picknik. Chanault Park maybe? sandwich with beans and...
Gabbeaux's New Orleans Restaurant: Cajun on the river
turnip2000 Says: At the foot of the "old bridge" (the one that goes to downtown Monroe) and commonly known as Bayle's Landing, this place is a nice way to spend the evening drinking a beer and soakin' it in. Great views of Ouachita river and downtown Monroe. crawfish balls
Ernesto's Mexican Restaurant: Mexican
turnip2000 Says: Well, this place used to rock the house and I have some of my best Monroe memories from the place, but the last time I went there the food wasn't so great. In spite of that it isn't a chain. It is located in an old house on the edge of Monroe's Garden District area (you ch...

turnip2000 Says: uhh...there is a hoppin' gay bar in downtown monroe, but last I heard it had moved so I can't give an exact location.......there is a hoppin' alpha male drunk girl frat like I-'m-gonna-kick-your-ass-for-lookin'-at-my-girlfriend dance club near the university on DeSiard...
turnip2000 Says: It is literally in the same building as a gas station (and I think a bank?) which I find very "Monroe". In spite of this oddity, you can really get some decent grub in a nice dark atmosphere. Escape the heat and enjoy some Monroe murals on the walls of this North Monroe hang...
Mojo is run by the Kennedy family and you will aprreciate their artistic and business savy if you stop by! It is without a doubt one of the best places to go shopping in the Monroe area. I remember when they were just a small stand in the mall...here is a link to some of their clothes, though they have much more in the store: http://www.shopmojo.com/
Doug Kennedy designs the shirts...
What to buy: Mojo's retail store is located in the heart of the historic district of West Monroe, Louisiana. Established in 1988, Mojo's has over 2,000 square feet of shopping space. Mojo's carries clothing by Urban Outfitters, Free People, Co-Operative, and a full line of tees by Mojoware.

turnip2000 Says: Lots of people (most) have guns. You will see guns in trucks, Walmart, bank giveaways, belts, etc.....just get over it if you find it strange. I'm sure Monroe would find a "dykes on bikes" parade (here in Seattle) a bit strange too!
Small_World Says: Louisiana has an open container law (meaning that you can't have an open container of an alcoholic beverage in the front seat of a vehicle) to discourage drinking and driving. Yet scattered throughout Monroe are these drive-through liquor places. They get around the law by...
turnip2000 Says: You will not believe this, but I actually went to this and I doubt most in the parish even know about this: The collection of amphibians and reptiles is one of the largest in the United States. It now contains about 55,000 specimens of approximately 900 species and...
D'Arbonne National Wildlife Refuge
turnip2000 Says: This lake is located in the piney hills area of Louisiana and is a place where you can get away from it all...I mean ALL...The water is a bit murky and you might have a bit of mud in your hair after skiing, but nobody cares. Farmerville itself is a pit in all honesty, but...
turnip2000 Says: Poverty Point, known for its mound construction, is an archaeological site in northeastern Louisiana (near the town of Epps), overlooking the Mississippi River flood plain. The name derives from the Poverty Point plantation, which included the site's land in modern times. It...
turnip2000 Says: My god...it is out of control, but if you are want to experience what most people are doing on a Friday night, you should head to the W.M.H.S. football stadium....State champs multiple times and still use the rebel flag and rebel mascot proudly and much like cigarettes have...

Monroe is very close to my hometown (30 miles) and is the biggest city in over 100 miles. I never even thought about doing a VT page for Monroe until I started reading a few pages from some VT friends...
My favorite thing about Monroe is the river--I never get tired of watching it and I'm mesmerized by its beauty. I've always been captivated by rivers, anyway, because of their power and movement (at...
Monroe: Louisiana's gateway city to Mississippi
One of my close friends, Dan Augustine moved from St. Joseph, MO to Monroe, Louisiana to coach football at UL - Monroe. During our visit there, we were able to go to a ULM game... which was a great......
Think of Monroe as being a chocolate kiss smack-dab in the middle of a peanutbutter cookie, and you'll have a picture of how it fits into northeast Louisiana. New Orleans dominates south Louisiana,...
