Grace - NOLA Greetings

This is the city that we have all grown to love.
Generation after generation, we keep adding new members to this
community.
Some say that "it's a small world."
It is true indeed that everyone in New Orleans knows each other or at
least act like they do.
Whether it is a "Who Dat" after a big game or just a casual "Hey y'all,"
New Orleans greetings have always been the same.
This has become known as the universal communication which everyone has
learned.

Grace, age 17
