1 point for each city you have lived, worked or visited (eaten a meal, stayed overnight, shopping, attended an event/attraction, etc.)
Passing through or stopping for gas/restroom break does not count!


What about a spin off topic?

Which cities have you had a mate from and rate which level of crazy they were?

Metairie would be fourth if it was incorporated.

I may lose (or would it be win?) this for fewest cities among LA baws

Have never set foot in N LA

I've hardly been to the West Bank so Gretna is out

Got gas in Slidell but don't think I've done anything else there

Never been to Houma -- but I have been to Morgan City. Do I get a half point for that?

Youngsville is top 20? Def never been there

Never done anything in Sulphur

I got Kenner, mostly b/c I was overcharged for some Popeyes at the airport

The most curious ones: Despite spending years in BR, I think I've only driven thru Central once. I'm not certain I've ever done anything in Zachary. I may have eaten there in the 80s but I'm not sure.

that leaves only 8, I think (I was told there would be no math)

Where in the F is Natchitoches? No way it is smaller than Youngsville.

Coming up with this list is all cute, and everything, but why no Kurthwood?

Born and raised in Mobile, live in Phoenix, I think that is pretty good for a non-resident
