re: French President Emmanuel Macron to Visit New Orleans Dec 2

New Orleans is a city that pretends to be French. It holds on to this identity so tightly that to an actual French person it’s going to seem pathetic. Even more so because this city is as unrefined as you can be. Sure it has history. Sure it has some of the oldest architecture in the county (which is nothing compared to European history).

...is a city of French, Spanish, Creole, and some flavor of Cajun influence with Yat refinement. May the 610 Stompers delight Macron and "Emmanual, pick up" come billowing out of Parkway's speakers for his dressed shrimp poboy.

It ain't refinement or French that makes New Orleans, an etch in its history at best.
