Jackie - Home


Home to New Orleanians is the environment that they live in.
This certain environment of ours is unique,
Special, and
Practically beyond words.
Many think that New Orleans is a completely different country.
As a result, it's difficult for some
To feel at home in any other place than sweet old New Orleans.
What makes a home a home is the environment in which it exists. 

Jackie, age 16
