across the lake does not count
across the river does
ETA: If someone asks you where you went to school, and you don't know to say what high school you went to, you are NOT from New Orleans.

It is never acceptable to admit you're from New Orleans. END OF STORY.

I assume it'd only matter depending on who you're talking to right? Here in Texas, I just tell people I'm from Columbia because its a lot simpler than just saying "Lexington" "Where's that?" "it's about 10-15 minutes from Columbia"

I feel the farther from Louisiana you are, the larger the area that can be referred to as New Orleans becomes.

Chalmette here

I have never lived in NOLA in my life, but I tell people I am from NOLA. But then when they ask what neighborhood (it's happened) I say "Kenner" and they reply "ah, Ok" makes me feel dumb lol
Northshore cannot say they are from NOLA.
They are the descendants of the people who left NOLA to die.

Someone once told me that if it takes you longer than 20 minutes to get to your house from Uptown New Orleans, you can't claim New Orleans.

I think it is only acceptable to say that you live in New Orleans if you actually live in the city. I live in one of the communities in your list and that is what I have on my Facebook profile. Why pretend to be something that you are not?!

people always ask me where I'm from, I say Shreveport, La and when they follow up with, "is that close to new orleans?" i just say yep
Posted on 10/17/14 at 12:06 pm to DollaChoppa
Anything on the immediate west and east bank is new orleans to me. I'm from kenner though so maybe I'm biased.
Posted on 10/17/14 at 12:08 pm to DollaChoppa
I would say if you live in or have lived in Orleans Parish you can claim New Orleans as "where you are from".
Anything further and you are stretching.

Depends on who you're telling.
If you're traveling, ain't no one gonna know frick all about any of those places except New Orleans.
