Is Louisiana a nice place to live?
I live in MS right now..and I’ve always said I’m not staying here. Well I’m 21 and I’m ready to leave. I want to stay in the south though. I really like Louisiana and it seems like a cool place .. full of life and culture.
Louisiana is a great place to live, where are you looking at> Baton Rouge (where i live now) it a very nice place and Lafeyette is growing into the state’s best place to live, New Orleans (where i was born and raised) is great too don’t believe what other people say, i’m there almost every weekend, its not the same but its not a war zone either. it really depends on what u wanna do out here, there is a big need in the Medical field, the wanted ads section has almost a full page of medical jobs. you can probaly fidn a job in any field you want, or if you just wana party, whatever, you will find that here too, the culture is amazing. i would recommend coming and visiting for like a weekend whatever city or town you plan to move to, get a feel for the place.

Am I the ONLY Louisiana citizen infuriated at the dismal status of our state?
Our governor and "representatives" continually utter the same tired rhetoric about our "unique culture" and "our spirit" when confronted with questions about Louisiana’s status as a "bottom-of-the-list" state. The abysmal condition of Louisiana (crime, poverty, healthcare, education, quality of life, etc.) isn’t going to be remedied because of our "joie de vie" or our mardi gras parades.
So quit complaining and collecting evidence and do something to help.

Creole Common Routes; St.Domingue (Haiti) – Louisiana Part 3
From the pots of red beans and rice bubbling in French Quarter restaurants to the amulet bags for sale in neighborhood botanicas, Haitian influence is seen, heard and tasted across this city. French colonists from Saint-Domingue — later renamed Haiti — had traveled to New Orleans since the early 1700s. That connection flourished in 1809 and 1810, when 10,000 refugees arrived in New Orleans from Saint-Domingue. Those numbers were later strengthen with another migration wave of 15,000 in the 1820s. The refugees were a combination of French colonists, their slaves and free people of color who had fled the slave uprisings.The refugees doubled the city’s population and infused New Orleans with Franco-Caribbean traditions, including theater companies, elaborate dances and black political activists. Also, as Saint-Domingue’s lucrative sugarcane fields burned during the revolution there, New Orleans’ sugar industry soared. A lot of the things about New Orleans we view as unique came from those Haitian refugees. New Orleans is the most Haitian city in America, much more than Miami or New York. Essentially all of the surviving whites (along with some of the gens de couleur) became refugees. Approximately 10,000 French refugees came to the Gulf Coast larger than the population of New Orleans and Mobile at the time (8,000 and 810 respectively). These Saint-Dominguens made a significant contribution to the Gulf Coasts creole culture. Saint-Dominguens included John James Audubon, Louis Moreau Gottschalks family, and (likely) Marie Laveau and Jean Laffitte. Black refugees to Louisiana brought with them elements of African and Haitian culture in the form of voodoo/hoodoo practices, shotgun house architecture, and the language, oral traditions, and dance steps of Mardi Gras Indian rites.

What is the difference between yesterday and tomorrow?
Dateline : New Orleans, Louisiana

When the levees break…
Oh the humanity
Insanity
Water Water
Where’s my daughter
About my wife
Another life
Gone
Now swan song
Homes one night
Construction site
Looting Shooting
History culture
Death the vulture
Memories floating by
Grown children cry
So much lost then
Unknown cost when
The levees break
What a difference a day makes

DIVINA
www.schipperarques.com – www.acidpress.be
A 21-year-old girl born in a wealthy former planter family is raised by her Creole nanny in the deep south of the USA.
In her family women are expected to permanently wear restrictive, body correcting shoulder braces, strapping back her shoulders to obtain a slim Victorian silhouette and a stiff headpiece to keep an upright posture.
In contrast to that, she is a young girl in the 21st century, respecting her families traditions and expectations but she finds a way to live her own life and create her own reality.
Since her nanny mainly raised her, she adapted part of south Louisiana culture and superstitions, and therefore a strong believe in root work and conjures, wich she uses to her manipulate her own life the way her braces manipulate her body…
