1. You still refer a 47 year-old bridge as “The New Bridge.” Yeah I guess so.
2. You have an extra supply of Cane’s sauce in your fridge right now. Nope.
3.The whole city shut downs when the City Park lakes freeze over around the edges, and you’re OK with it. If I'm off work, I'm okay with it.
4. You mourn a little when you drive by where The Caterie used to be before it burned down. Not at all.
5. You give people strange looks if they’tell you they've never had a pizza from Fleur de Lis. Nope, I've still never been inside, only had it to-go.
6. You have never attended many cultural events that take place here. Nope.
7. You really don’t know the difference between BRAC and BREC. Nope.
8. You never go to the River Center....unless it's hosting Sesame Street or Larry the Cable Guy. Nope.
9. You own a home with fake shudders, siding with brick, and a "carport" out back. Shutters, you idiot... and nope.
10. You claim to have completed the "beers around the world" at Chimes, but secretly skipped the nasty brews. 5 times, 100% legit.
11. You refer to a garden hose as a "hose pipe." Nope, it's a hose.
12. You held on to your job during the recession.
Well, yeah.
13. You schedule your vacation days, weddings, and events around LSU football. Eh, not so much vacation days, because I'm already off on Saturdays.
14. You love LSU football but have never set foot in an LSU classroom. Nope.
15. You live in Houston right now. Nope, although I used to.
16. You see a young woman wearing short shorts and a tank top in the winter. So what?
17. You see an older woman wearing short shorts and a tank top in the winter. So what?
18. You refer to Hurricane Katrina as "The Storm." Nope.
19. You think jambalaya from New Orleans is not really authentic. Nope.
20. You regularly drive on the ONLY “non-construction” ONE LANE stretch of I-10 between Los Angeles and Jacksonville. (The Washington Street exit) This isn't even true. It goes to one lane in San Antonio as well.

Here is a way better list:
1. The "New Bridge"
2. It is called a booksack
3. You know where a kid goes to high school based on his haircut
4. You tell your kids they made a "happy plate"

What is the reason for leaving this exit open? It's needed to removed for a long time now!

Most of these are not unique to BR.
So you are automatically from BR if you live in Houston? Call Katrina "the storm"? BREC/BRAC? Wouldn't only people from BR know the difference?

That list is bad. #1 is pretty much the only one I can identify with.
Posted on 12/3/14 at 11:42 am to lsupride87
New Orleans people drive much better than BR people.

New Orleans people drive much better than BR people.
ETA: I have lived in both, I cant actually tell the difference. But the numbers dont lie

Accident rates aren't the only measure of bad driving.

Right, since accidents determine how good or bad a person is at driving. My gf is a terrible driver, she admits to it, and she's never been in a wreck.
But i guess under yalls criteria, she's a great driver.
