Sarah - NOLA Myths

No out-of-stater will ever truly understand New Orleans
No, it is not “just” the city with a horrible crime rate,
Nor is it is” just” the city that got destroyed by Hurricane Katrina
But, it is the city that never has a dull moment
It is the city with non-stop commotion-
Mardi Gras, Balls, the Saints.
And yes, the schools in the city of New Orleans schools DO get a full week off  “just” for Mardi Gras
