I know, man. My options for this weekend are fried chicken fest in New Orleans or shoot redfish with bows and arrows on the coast.

Tough choice.

ETA: I guess I should thank New Orleans for giving me the opportunity to go bowfishing.

NOLA has what, 10 publicly traded companies


The Memphis metro is home to more Fortune 500 companies than the entire state of Louisiana. It's around the same size as the New Orleans metro.

New Orleans has lost tens of thousands of white collar jobs to Houston, Dallas, and Atlanta over the past 35 years.

My biggest complaint is the loss of jobs and opportunity. Fix that and everything else will fall in line quickly.

And I should thank NOLA for the bags of Speck fillets I'll be frying up tonight for some friends and family.

Agreed. Luckily, most of my friends and family these days have finally got decent or great jobs. But it took most of us getting to our 30s. I had to leave the state for years to get established before coming back with a good job.

Places to go swimming?

Nowhere.

Absolutely nowhere.

You are very lucky to have a place to go swimming.

Overall that would have to go to NOLA I would think.

Best brewery (I'm guessing) would go to Broussard...right?

I don't know, I'm far from an expert on LA breweries.
