Lake Charles. 1958
Neighbor came to me complaining that we had a Negro M.D.
Explained, only M.D. we could get to make house call.
On a personal note, what really got me is when I went in backyard to mow lawn first time.
Crawfish towers of sun baked mud.
And in the back corner, a spider and web. Spider bigger than hand. I never mowed that corner in the two years I lived At home.

When Yankee friends visit me in NOLA, they are often amazed by the outflow canals. They think they are open sewerage drains, LOL.

Get over it. They lost buddy. LSU is more important anyways.

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.
This is true, I'm a little white girl born and raised in Louisiana who's spent a lot of time in Georgia and Alabama. Years ago, I went to a Ludacris concert in Georgia. Got lots of stares for not only being there but also knowing most of the words (wearing a light pink sweater & pearls didn't help).
We tailgated once with Auburn friend at Auburn. Not only were they incredibly shamed by our tailgate stuff (we had LSU tent, tablecloth, decorations, etc. They had a red tent, blue ice chest, and a flag). But they start playing music and I'm thinking, damn, this is the whitest music I've ever heard. I just assumed everyone my age liked rap & hip hop at tailgates. I was wrong.

How big of a deal Mardi Gras is. I'm not sure I had ever heard of it before I moved to Louisiana.

I moved to South Louisiana back in 2012. The guy that lived beside us was from Pierre Part. When we first moved in, he would talk to me, and I would literally stare at him and try to compute and decipher what in TF he just said. South Louisiana has its' own culture. Not all bad, not all good.
If you were born and raised down there, I can see the appeal. We moved back home in 2016.
The dialect, accent, culture of drinking for any occasion is different than what I was used to. I knew I had picked up on some of it because when I came back home my buddy had a b-day party for his little boy....I brought a ice chest full of beer, problem is, I was the only one. shite, in South Louisiana that was a drinking occasion

Hell, I'm from North Louisiana, and I've got stories. I was at a party while I was at LSU, and I start talking to this guy. I can barely understand anything he's saying. I thought he was a foreign exchange student. He kept saying where he was from, and I'm like, "that ain't no country I've ever heard of."
Turns out he was from Rayne, Louisiana.

The influence “ghetto culture” has on south LA is out of control.
Everywhere you go you’ll see more kids and even adults who imitate the ghetto culture.
