Angola, Louisana is one of the best gated communites in Louisiana!
Now Angola in Africa I would have to say is pretty interesting. ExxonMobil? Now a few friends with dads there.

Gated community - love it!
My parents drove me through Angola. LA as a child - maybe 30 years ago. I think we were on our way to Ville Plat. One of my only memories was of all the road signs imploring drivers not to pick up hitchhikers. Apparently there was a large, old prison in the area......
