Annie - Home


Home
“New Orleans proud to call it home” this saying on bumper stickers that are on cars across the city shows that New Orleans is a special place. Calling New Orleans home isn’t quite like the other places that people call home. Home for New Orleanians is a bond with the other people from our city. It’s the loving family atmosphere between everyone no matter who you meet. Home is the oneness a person feels with everyone when they are together for a crawfish boil, the joyfulness listening to great music at our multiple festivals. Home for us in New Orleans means we are here and together having a good time and being happy. Home is truly where the heart is and every New Orleanians heart is here. No matter where you are New Orleans is there in your heart as our home.
