City/town information
West Monroe and Monroe are twin cities separated by the Ouachita River. I-20 runs through and makes it easy to get around. Even though about 4 hours north of New Orleans we still know how to party at Mardi Gras. You'll see drive thru daiquiris and lots of great seafood all around.
