I find it interesting that the "birthplace of Delta" is a town noone would ever willingly book a flight to.

To participate, I'm originally from NOLA.... pretty sure we invented cocktails..jazz probably... idk we did stuff.

Biloxi, Miss. derives its name from the Biloxi Indian tribe who once occupied the land of what is now the MS Gulf Coast. The Biloxi spoke a Siouan language despite being nowhere near the home range of the Sioux of the Great Plains.
