“Oh, so you live in New Orleans? You must be crazy!”
It’s common for one to associate a New Orleanian with Bourbon Street, the French Quarter, and
extensive crime.
Let’s be realistic:
1. No, I don’t go out to Bourbon Street during the week let alone on the weekends.
2. The French Quarter is an awesome/cultural place to be but most people spend their time in
their own area.
3. No, I don’t have to freak out every time I walk outside my house worrying that I will get shot.
New Orleans is one of the most soulful, heartfelt cities there is. There really isn’t anything like it.
“New Orleans: proud to call it home!”
