Catie - NOLA Greetings

New Orleans Greetings
Hey y’all
Hi, you guys
How ya doin’?
How’s it goin’?
What’s up?
How are you?
How’s ya mom en ‘em?
How ‘bout them saints?
Who Dat!?
Southern Hospitality on the streets everywhere you go
Can’t pass one by without greeting them
New Orleans is good about making others feel at home and at ease in the Big Easy
Cajun and traditional music floating around
Story swapping with strangers
The close community that comes together as a family
NOLA’s special form of communication is what makes it special

Catie, age 15
