Francie - NOLA Myths

Party Hard, or Hardly Partying?

It's funny,
people hear you're from New Orleans,
and their thought immediately goes to Bourbon Street.
What's it like partying every night?

Well, I wouldn't know.
I barely step foot in the french quarter,
unless it is for a Saints Game.
People assume that the french quarter is New Orleans.

They do not know,
that there is much more to the city than that.
Don't get me wrong,
we still like to have fun, just not always in the quarter.

Francie, age 17
