Yes! It took me twice as long to finish because I had to stop reading to google all the locations and artwork he described.

I had a package ship from Destrehan that went to North Carolina and Dallas before arriving three weeks later in Baton Rouge.

After I saw this video I talked with my little girl (14 yrs.) and told her about stereotyping and how its always taught as a bad thing. I told her stereotyping is actually like her natural instinct (pattern recognition) telling her something and its a natural tendency that shouldn't be dismissed.

Around 1995 when I lived in New Orleans, I was going to my then boyfriend's house to pick him up and head for the movies. While I was parking on Prytania, I noticed three black teens/young adults headed toward me on the opposite side of the street. I made a conscious effort to NOT stereotype them. As I walked to my boyfriends front door (luckily he was waiting outside for me,) they ambushed us with guns looking for cash. I only had my car keys in my hand, having left my purse in the car. They took his wallet and ran. No idea why they didn't steal the car.

TL:DR Not stereotyping gets guns in your face.

Season 9, on subsequent watch, without expectation of it being anything like 1-8, has its moments. I HATED it when it came out. I've gained, if not an appreciation of it, an acceptance.
