Mobile and the MS Gulf Coast should be a part of Louisiana.

Something other than COVID threads. Prove me wrong.

Half the country should be Louisiana since 1803

You could call them the FloraBama parishes

Mobile has some good people but there would be way to much head butting with the Nola elite. I would not mind claiming Bay St. Louis and Pass though.

I’d give up some pieces of North LA for more pieces of coast. Seems fair.

I've always thought £97 Diana should be southern Louisiana to Pensacola. Give North Louisiana to Arkansas. We have much more in common across the coast.

The Gulf Coast is awesome. Best seafood, beaches, music, and weather (apart from hurricanes).

As a born and raised MS coast resident, I agree

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

I'd trade North LA for Mobile and Biloxi in a heartbeat.

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.

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.

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.

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.

No. It seems Mobile is trying to do something to fix their traffic issues.

That disqualifies It as potentially Louisiana.
