Being from a city that is about as far south as you can go on the west coast of Florida, I resent that.
It just ain't like the Nature Coast... http://www.cafepress.com/jmgnole.48264834 http://www.cafepress.com/jmgnole.48265358
True dat...unless you consider those Charlie Pell/Gaylen Hall days when they were on probation about every other week.
Louisiana is it's own South. We've got a bit of the Texas culture, mostly Cajun culture combined with Southern ideals. Mississippi & Alabama are the only 2 truely southern states, IMO. They define "the south", where as every other state combines the south with their own thing.
I agree with CParso, Louisiana is a one of a kind state. I mean, you can tell what parish some people are from just by hearing them speak. Louisiana is the gem of the south if you ask me.
