Front St., Natchitoches, LA - Religion in Louisiana (sitios de interés)

Religion can be anything that adds meaning to otherwise ordinary things. In the United States, citizens commonly look to God for this meaning, but God by no means holds a monopoly. Front Street in Natchitoches was built like thousands of other roads at its time, but it alone has remained. Back in 1958, the state sent construction crews to replace the bricks with pavement, but a group who would later become the Association for the Preservation of Historic Natchitoches laid themselves on the road to prevent the demolition.
