Finally Louisiana is first in something not negative. Though i don't consider this a "positive" -- just neutral. Congrats!

Yet they can’t add a lane or two at the new bridge.

From the article, WTF? At nearly 24 miles in length, the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway is the world's longest bridge across water — it was even recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records in 1969. You should avoid this bridge if you have any sort of fear of heights or water; once you get far enough onto it, there is a portion of the bridge where you completely lose sight of land in all directions. Drivers have been known to freeze up during this eight-mile stretch, suddenly feeling trapped and frightened. It is a common enough occurrence that local police know to simply escort these motorists back off the bridge.

So are two of the cities with the highest murder rates. Coincidence? I think not.

That is hardly accurate

I'm on a sizeable portion in the klansman's shoulder that is 14ft above sea level.

Glad and proud to see something positive about Louisiana but isn’t the A1A Highway going toward Key West gaily long. We drove a few years ago and it’s long.
