New Orleans and for that I will never forgive him. Memories? My neighbor used to always give me stuffed mirlitons to eat. Mirlitons are sorta like a squash; anyway I hated the things and I ended up with a whole freezer full of them cause I didn't want to hurt her feelings.
The accents: they ain't southern--a lot of them sound like New Yorkers
the people-laissez bon ton roulle!
The restaurants, the music, the streetcars, the moonwalk--I used to love to go down to the river and watch the barges and big ships go down the river.
And then there's Mardi Gras and it ain't all what you think--it's families with little kids and elderly people going out to a neighborhood parade. The families lots of times have ladders so they can catch stuff for the kids. I've seen old ladies dive down into the crowds for beads. Of course, there is debauchery in the quarter but hey, it's New Orleans!
and I'd like to personally say FUCK YOU GEORGE BUSH for destroying it. I still can't believe it's gone.
