re: Is the lifestyle really much different North LA?

quote:

nawlins is different than “south Louisiana,”

NO is Shreveport w/a Yat accent

I would say in college guys from Monroe were different than guys from Baton Rouge.


I haven’t spent any real time in north LA to form a different opinion other than the people I met at LSU from north Louisiana.

As soon as someone says “nawlins” I immediately stop listening to anything they have to say regarding the city.

I'm in coonass country but 30 minutes north is the beginning of redneck country. With that said, I've worked at a majority redneck facility and I've worked majority coonass. Coonasses are much easier to work with. Also, rednecks have a dry sense of humor but most of all, the nasal redneck accents are aggravating. On the other hand, when it comes to the outdoors, coonasses think they're the only ones who've dealt with gators down south. Rednecks handle them too and are also good hunters. But at the end of the day, I'd rather drink a beer and hang out with the coonasses

Meta.

From BR. Dad got transferred to Funroe going into 8th grade. Stayed for HS and college. Been back ever since. Here are some points.

Everything north of Bunkie is North Louisiana.
Catholic south. Baptist, Pentecostal and others north.
North Louisiana breeds them big and tall.
Northeast LA has some rich folks in it. But not like Lafayette.
Northwest LA is like Texas.
Partying is good both places. Food too.
Lately it seems like there is less of a difference but it is still there.
NLU/ULM is the only other school in the state to win a National Championship in football. (Excluding HBCU schools)
North LA is a hunter’s paradise. South is a fisherman's paradise.
People move away from north Louisiana. People in the south rarely leave.
Have met good people both places. South people are more genuine.
Overly Expensive trucks and shitty Camaros in both places.

That’s about it.

I think S LA is getting more nervous every time this thread appears.

As someone that grew up in a small town in CENLA, hunted ducks and geese in South LA as a kid and enjoyed the cuisine, went to LSU, and ended up in Shreveport for the last 20 years I’ll say this…

If you know where to pick up boudin on your way home from the beach, it isn’t that much different. I’ve crabbed in Holly Beach and frogged on the Red River. If you know how to have a good time and learned to cook from South LA baws when exposed to it, anywhere in LA ain’t bad. Enjoy where you are and what you have.
