I've had several friends from AZ visit New Orleans and while they all said they had fun they all commented how they were surprised at just how dirty the city is.
I was shocked at how clean the Phoenix area was.

It was like being flushed from the matrix, wasn't it? When it happened, did you immediately want to be plugged back in?

Growing up in South LA, I was used to having easy access to alcohol. When I was 21 I took my current fiancé on vacation to Heber Springs. We bought alcohol down here to avoid having to get it later. Good thing we did. The county we were in as well as the surrounding counties were all dry.
I walked in to a local Walmart to by wine, and couldn't find any. I walked up to a stock boy and asked "where's the alcohol located?" His response was "this is a dry county. We don't sell alcohol." I said "Well that sounds boring. Have a nice day" and left.

I went to a small private school most of my childhood. I transferred to the local public school in the 11th grade but had never gone to school with any black kids previously.
A few months after school started the OJ verdict was announced and some were dancing on the tables in the cafeteria. I was like whiskey tango foxtrot

Pretty sure he meant liquor which isn’t a normal thing in most areas of the county

Yeah but the original comment makes no sense. California is a state that allows beer,wine, and liquor to be sold in grocery stores from 6 am until 2 am.

friends girlfriend during college (now wife).
hyper liberal, from Utah.
we used to use the N-bomb on occasion, not in a mean way, but in your typical southern bro way, and she would get next level offended. we tried to tell her that we had black friends, but that N's were different.
eventually she went to our hometown and other podunk places in Louisiana and learned it for herself.
she is still hyper liberal, but has a new outlook on things.

Moved to Breaux Bridge, working in Plaquemine. Going down 77 and theres a kid about 10yrs old walking down the shoulder carrying a fishing pole and a stringer with about 12 squirrels on it. Have a lot of questions for that kid if I ever see his little coonass again

I moved down from NYC, I mean Kansas, and I was shocked at how respectful the kids were to lowly positions such as mine as a school janitor. Up north, I mean midwest, nobody even acknowledges people like janitors. Very respectful children.

Same here. I went for the first time a few years ago and thought the same exact thing

Another thing I was sort of surprised by was the way that country people in south LA listen to ghetto rap music and try to act ghetto.
It’s not uncommon to see dudes decked out in camo in a jacked up truck with their windows down jamming boosie. That’s not common where I come from.

That wasn't a terrible area years ago

I’ve also been told that. I used to work at LDAF on Florida and the older people there sag it used to be all woods over there then the ghetto took over.

The biggest culture shock to me was that nobody puts their shopping carts back in the corral. Just leaves them by their car in the parking space after they're done loading their groceries. So slothful and inconsiderate. Disgusting.

I wasn't prepared for the condition of the roads in NOLA. I have driven over some shitty ones in my time but Lakeview is like a battlefield. I don't see how anyone lives there without driving a tank.

What? I live in California and you can buy alcohol pretty much anywhere

I always say this damn near every time I go shopping. Like 2 out of 10 put it away. Doesn’t mattter how old, young, rich, poor, white or black. Pretty much everyone does this.
Rouses doesn’t even have corals to return carts. That’s how you know they’re Louisiana owned. Lol
