The new Maurice Branch of the Bank of Abbeville opened recently. It is on Maurice Avenue right across from the church.
For a couple of days this past week, while they were tearing down the old building, the only thing standing was the vault.
Maurice has changed quite a bit since I moved here in 15 years ago. I love our little town and we have some of the best food around with Villager’s Cafe serving the best poor-boys in Acadiana and Hebert’s Specialty Meat famous for its stuffed deboned chickens and poultry.

Home sales in Maurice, LA, rose sharply in 2011 mainly because of new construction in the area. Of the 65 homes that have sold so far this year, 35 were new homes. Last year, only 4 homes out of the 41 homes sold were new construction.
There are currently 12 home sales pending, 4 of which are scheduled to close before the end of the year. That would bring the total number of sales to 69 for 2011. Nine of the 12 pending sales are also new construction (in Kirkland Estates).
Two subdivisions mostly contributed to these numbers: Kirkland Estates, which is located off of Kirk Road east of Maurice, and Victoria Manor, located off of Beau Road on the south side of the village. Victoria Manor is now completely built up with no more lots or homes available while Kirkland Estates is near full as well.
There are currently 16 homes for sale in Maurice and a few proposed constructions. Prices vary between $100,000 and $340,000. Click here to view active listings in Maurice.
This billboard made me laugh out loud when I saw it. It also made me realize that every day, we drive around and see dozens of billboards while very few will actually stick in our minds (or make us laugh). The message here is funny, memorable and to the point. Simply brilliant!
This billboard is located on Vermilion Parkway (Hwy 167) between E. Broussard Road and Maurice. You can see it if you are driving from Maurice to Lafayette on the left hand side of the road.
When is the last time you saw a sign and thought: “I wish I had come up with that idea?”
