No best thing to ever come out of little rock is I 40

That's right. Nashville and Houston both have more violent crimes per capita if you believe the reported numbers.

That was spot on and really good. He's the kinda guy who gets what the city is all about.

Jeez. I40?
That takes you to memphis
I30 Gets you closer to louisiana (some will say to tejas)

Completely disagree. A lot of people from there go other places but tend to come back. I think that's more the attitude than anything else.

New Orleans is that hole in the sheetrock you've been meaning to repair, that torn window screen you'll get around to, that dirty area around the wall switch that nobody ever wipes down, the greasy underside of the range hood over the stove all mixed with the sweatiness of the first time you get to third base with Mary Lou in the backseat of her daddy's car.
Sorry, not as romantic and dreamy as MM but it fits.

He meant I40-W to Fort Smith, another city nicer than the flooded moral wasteland that is New Orleans

The face rug is for a civil war movie he's filming.
That's his wife.
That's his wife.

If you have this much time to study Matthew McConaughey there's a problem.
Posted on 3/30/15 at 8:08 am to tgrbaitn08
Thx. I don't MM much. Didn't know he's married, and she is beautiful.

Who read the entire passage McConaughey's voice?

There are four REAL cities in America. A place with passion and culture.
New York: a filthy overly glamourized filthy shitbox.
LA: a city with a homeless population larger than the population of Baton Rouge. It also happens to be utterly soulless.
Miami: more cubans than cuba, and it runs like a thirdworld country.
New Orleans: a real, old, city. The fact that your touristy fricks never leave bourbon street is your own damned fault.
No one thinks of Little Rock, when asked about America.
As for never leaving, I'm just a poor country boy who has driven down bourbon more than I've walked it.
I like good food, good haitian and columbian music, brass band music, watching black people who actually have a culture express it, staying in hotels or BBs with a bit of history, and occasionally enjoying those libations Mr. McConaughey was waxing so poetically about while watching Bruce Daigrepont over at Tipitinas... New Orleans is 102 miles from my door, and we make the trip as often as we can.
I pity anyone who doesnt have the opportunity, interest, or soul to appreciate what the city truly has to offer.

Nola has more culture to it than all of Arkansas combined. I'm sorry all you ever visited in the city was bourbon st, if you have ever even visited at all. There's a quote from Drew Brees saying "if you love New Orleans, it'll love you back" and that's absolutely the truth. If you go there with some close minded bull shite of looking at it as you do, of course it'll seem like a miserable place. But if you go with an open mind you'll be brought into a place with rich history, and unlike anywhere else in the country.

I never liked nola when all I knew of it was bourbon street. Then my child and a friend of mine moved there and I learned about the food/art/music/history and now love the city!
