re: Louisiana

Both are good. I live in both. MS has its own time and it’s slow. It’s a good refuge from the faster paced BR or NO.

LA is great for its people who have the best sense of humor and are very creative and fun to be around for the most part. Nobody or few take life too seriously. The food, drink, music and social opportunities are hard to beat. How many states have Mardi Gras parades and Balls? How many states have St. Patrick Day parades like ours. How many states have the variety of great foods we enjoy?

Now in MS time has stood still for about 50-60 years for the most part. People seem to get along well and are polite to each other. Blacks don’t seem to have a chip on their shoulders and white people are generally very nice to black people at least in the country. MS is the country for the most part.

So both LA and MS are good for me. I really can’t think of any places that I’ve ever preferred..
