Jackie - NOLA Greetings

South hospitality truly does exist

In New Orleans, walking down the street

Might just be a way to describe the

Big easy.

You get a wink, smile, compliment, etc.

None of which is out of the norm for this

Southern city.

There is a vibe of happiness present,

Rather than a busy and uncaring vibe

That may be present in places like New York.

If someone gives a wink or smile there,

Most likely, they won’t get a wink or smile in return.

Southern hospitality is our specialty.

Jackie, age 16
