Louisiana
I'm from Delhi, LA. This is a very small town you probably haven't heard of but it is between Vicksburg, MS and Shreveport, LA. This is northern LA.
Glad to see there are others from Louisiana.

Tall: I know the feeling. Back in the 80s I live in Buras, about 60 miles south of New Orleans. MOF, I lived on a houseboat down at Fort Jackson. It's where that awful Hurricane Katrina made landfall when it hit. I'd long since moved to NC to a little Mayberry Incarnate town between Raleigh and Goldsboro but I still miss living there and especially taking the trips w/my cousins into the city (NO).
I can't imagine anything any better than a giant plate of mudbugs downed with Tequila shots and having a great smoke afterward; however, you just can't get crawfish here in NC. There are so many things that are local foods to New Orleans and parishes south of New Orleans unavailable here. One of these days when I can find the $$$ I want to go back for a visit. I still have an uncle and close friends who went back and are living in Braithwaite (they're in a trailer b/c their home in Point a La Hache was wiped out) and my uncle is still in Triumph, not far from Empire and Buras also in a trailer.

AnglVapin:
With the exception of a few weeks to a month, I spent the first 6 or so yrs of my life living in Albany, Georgia. My dad (he's my step-dad but my dad all the same, genetically or not) was a detective on the police force in Albany.
Georgia is beautiful. Even all these years later I still retain the Georgian accent as does my youngest daughter since I was a SAHM with her, even with my love of Georgia, it's not New Orleans or the towns in the lower parishes. I miss it terribly. I miss the people, especially the friends I lost and those I didn't know who lost their lives out of sheer incompetence (mostly due to FEMA & other high-government officials not willing to send the help necessary to save lives).
May those who lost friends & family remember the good times spent together - and all those lost to the hurricane & conditions that followed rest in peace with the knowledge you will never be forgotten.
