Brittany - Message to young NOLA

New Orleans,
also known as The Big Easy
Some natives pronounce it N'awlins
What do you call it?
Some prefer the initials NOLA
I call it my home
How about you?
Amazing food, enjoyable music,
A true family
What do you think?
We are all connected
Intertwined
The Crescent City
