As another year comes to an end, we always seem to reflect on the year gone by. The music scene put out some great music this year, so let's take a look back at the biggest, hottest songs of 2011.

As part of Eat Lafayette, we here at Hot 107-9 get the opportunity to eat at some incredible restaurants across Acadiana.

I got the chance to head north of Lafayette to Grand Coteau and dine at a little gem kn

When I was a kid, fireworks were awesome. We got to play with lighters, we got to make things explode, light up, or otherwise do something really cool. Years later, I reflect on the fireworks of my youth and realize that now, it's just not the same. The...

The other day I celebrated another wonderful year on this planet, and after yesterday, I was thankful that I was living in Louisiana, especially after visiting Little River Inn on Main Street in New Iberia.

However, meeting on-line doesn't have the same feel as getting to meet and know someone in person.
