re: The State of Louisiana

I lived in Georgia (Atlanta) for 13 years. I covered the entire state for a sales job. You have nice topography and decent weather, a lot of people move there for work BUT it was the most boring place I have ever lived. No culture, nothing that makes it unique or a place you actually want to go to. Soul-less is the word that most comes to mind, just people, strangers, going through the motions of the daily grind. Your neighbors have no desire to even make eye contact much less form friendships. Couldn’t wait to leave that place 10 years ago and have actually never been back. When I got back to Louisiana and the friendliness, the culture of extended family and friendships, the celebratory culture, it was an immediate uplift. We may have a lot of issues but living life here is so much better for so many reasons.
