re: Texas is trying to co-opt Louisiana culture right?

Enjoy your endless cubicle jobs, cookie cutter subdivisions, 45 mile commutes, and Applebee’s

Where did you live? Must have been pretty bad if you think anywhere in Louisiana is better.

Enjoy your shite roads, dumb politicians, friends, family and children, your high insurance and electricity bills, barely living on-grid and nearly living off-grid with La's neglected infrastructure, and good food.

I have never been to an Applebees. Lately I have been digging on some Vietnamese (best egg rolls ever) vermicelli dishes and Indian cuisine. Love me some butter chicken, tandoori chicken, chicken Tikka Masala, saag paneer and Naan.

Dallas is a shithole compared to New Orleans

Its because of the large influx of people from Louisiana moving to TX. It is staggering, over 10,000 families moved from Louisiana to TX last year alone.

Really sad that people have to move to Texas just to find a job

Depending on where you are (or “where y'at,” rather) and what time of year it is, New Orleans might smell like horse manure, cigarettes, urine, dead fish, marijuana, vomit, diesel fumes,



“It’s chemical, and I’m trying not to think about it,” said Raymond Dillon, a karate teacher.

Diana Mecera, a restaurant worker who lives in the French Quarter, said, “It’s a kind of a sewage smell.”

Her co-worker, Lauren Graham, a waitress, put it this way: “It’s more like being at a gas station.”

Steven Payne, who owns a men’s store and lives in the Marigny area, said: “It is very distinctly oil. When I smelled it for the first time, I was walking my dog along the Mississippi River levee.”



Wow! So many Street people and coming up to you trying to sell you something . Kids on the street playing drums on plastic buckets for money. Noisy and filled with drunks, just ok music.




New Orleans has led the nation in homicide rates more times than Detroit, I think DC probably has til this day as well. But Detroit historically doesn't have a as high a murder rate as New Orleans I postulate





Yep, New Orleans sounds like heaven on earth.

You can't think of New Orleans as one of the most dangerous cities in America. You have to think of New Orleans as the safest country in the Caribbean.

Once you do that, you can make peace with it all.

That's probably more fueled by Louisiana transplants than Texans.

I can say that boiled crawfish is becoming a lot more popular in the Corpus area than I remember it being when I moved here

And now there are actually some places that do a pretty good job of boiling it

Oh let's see. Beans, rice, crawfish, anything slathered in a heavy cream sauce, fried this boiled that, poboys stuffed with frickin anything but mostly shite that's fried. Jambalaya, etouffee and frickin gumbo. I could go on but you get the point.

I'm not frickin' "clueless" a-hole. I've lived here 25 years and have been all over this state, especially South Louisiana. This is the shite we eat, all the way from Lake Charles to Slidell.

Mentioning New Orleans in the same sentence as New York and San Francisco is just like mentioning St. Louis in the same sentence as New York and San Francisco. Or Detroit. Or Oakland. Or Memphis. Or Baltimore. Or.....You guessed it, Cleveland.

You don't think the birthplace of America's only indigenous art form is of cultural importance?
