Lafayette, LA, and much of So. Louisiana has been a business bonanza for several decades running, because of the oil and gas industry. Lafayette even has an area of commerce by the name of; Oil Center. Terrific place to do business, but OMG does it get hot and humid there in the Summer!

cell phone numbers are more an indication of where you first got the plan, than where you currently are. Since the plan remains the same for most carriers in various regions, people just don't change the number.
For example, I spent 5 years in the midwest with a RI number, never bothered changing it since id then have to notify everyone of the new number.
Secondly, people are pretty unobservant with those quick craigslist search engines. Ive had several calls on a work van i sold from guys 150+ miles away who didn't bother to really comprehend the location in the ad.
Possibly this guy printed out a bunch of available office spaces from a quick search and made this blunder.
