It's always North LA vs South LA. Are there not glaring differences between let's say, Lake Charles and Slidell or Shreveport and Monroe?

Everyone south of I-10 from the texas border to the mississippi border all have more in common than we do with those yankees that live North of I-10

Religious differences trump geographic ones - the Protestant North vs the Catholic South.

I guess there may be a difference socioeconomically between NW La. and NE La.

Scruffy would say false. It's probably equal.

Weirdo baptists still have too strong of a hold on N. LA for Scruffy's liking though.

Probably, but it would depend on how many Mexicans have infiltrated N. LA

They wouldn't be considered "glaring" in contrast to the historical difference between the historically WASP/Protestant north and the French/Catholic south
and until relatively recently a pocket of S. LA was French speaking

at least in N. LA they do speak something resembling English

People in Baton Rouge and New Orleans didn't even eat crawfish for a long time. Crawfish belong to the people of SWLa so don't get it twisted.
