Yes, Fat Tuesday and carnival started in the southeast United States.

How long would it take for Louisiana politics to completely ruin tourism there?

Louisiana has to figure a way to get Bossier/Caddo off the books.

And at least East Carroll Parish too.

Maybe the Land Mass is dumb enough to take them for trade for Hancock, Harrison, and Jackson Counties?

Biloxi was the capital of Louisiana at one point.

Mobile, MS Gulf Coast and FL Gulf Coast will become a state.

Pensacola or Mobile would become capital.

The coast is way closer to Louisiana culturally than it is to the rest of Mississippi

Absolutely and why the rest of MS jokingly refers to its resident there as coast trash.

What is the "elite" of Mississippi? I assume it isn't Jackson or Biloxi. Natchez? Oxford?

Unfortunately Mobile isn’t what it used to be when I lived there 20 years ago. The crime and expansion of the Prichard population has pushed most people out to Baldwin County across the bay.

Elite? Mississippi?

Mississippi is one big small town state.

Mobile, AL is the worst city, if you can call it that, I've ever visited. And I include Baldwin County in that assessment.

The Grand Hotel is a joke of a resort. Essentially a Holiday Inn on a setting equivalent to the shore of Lake Pontchartrain with daily cannon firings, free bike rentals (if you call that 15% resort fee on a $500 nightly room rate free), and terrible Alabama styled seafood at their inhouse restaurants.

we'd find a way to turn the water brown and have side-by-sides with rebel flags tearing up the beach

I'm pretty sure a good stretch of the coast from the Apalachicola River to East Baton Rouge Parish were part of something called West Florida at one time. They still call the area north of Lake Pontchartrain the Florida Parishes.

Republic of West Florida, capitol was St. Francisville and it lasted less than 90 days.

For some odd reason LA makes a big deal out of it.

I was just about to propose giving Little Rock to Louisiana. Figured it would fit in better with Baton Rouge and NOLA, with the similar crime statistics.

LA History, and how we became the a-hole of the US despite the natural resources we produce, is beyond frustrating.

Reality is our Pols sold us out years ago. At this point, almost a hundred years ago.

As much as the original socialist Huey P is admired, he did way more harm than good for LA. Instead of competing with the likes of Texas for jobs, revenue, etc, we were sold out. Period.

PS - I voted for the political party that has owned LA for 95% of its existence. I'm partially to blame for it continuing.
