Biagia - NOLA Greetings

In the New Orleans where the

Winters feel like summer and

Our idea of snow is sloshing around in

Half melted puddles of ice

Greetings are something that we

Understand

There is a reason that it’s called Southern not

Northern hospitality

Whether it is the warm southern breeze

Or the lack of ice that falls from the sky

A friendly “How y’all doing” or “Who Dat!”

Can always be found in the city of New Orleans
