ATMOSPHERE: A ten letter word with numerous meanings.
The atmosphere of New Orleans is filled with sounds, smells, words, and actions.
The sounds of New Orleans consist of everything from cheering and singing to
laughter and arguing over which Saints player is going to play his best in the upcoming
game.
Beignets, red beans and rice, simmering gumbo, and the breeze from the Mississippi
River mix to create the scent that is New Orleans.
The atmosphere of New Orleans would not be complete without locals constantly
saying the words: Saints, Who Dat, Mardi Gras, Gumbo, French Quarter, Jackson
Square, and "ya Mama and dem"
The key feature of New Orleans' unique atmosphere, however, is the everyday actions
of the locals. Whether its riding the street car down St. Charles, walking on the levee,
striking up a conversation with a total stranger, or tailgating in Champion Square, New
Orleans wouldn’t be complete without them.
The sounds, smells, words, and actions of New Orleans cannot be replicated anywhere
else.
New Orleans is unlike any other place in the world.
