"Why would you remain in a state like this?"

We had to move out of Louisiana when my husband was transferred. However, my entire family still lives there and would never dream of leaving. For the most part, the people of La. are great. They are not all like the ones you've seen on t.v.

I loved NO when I was there on business a few years back. Great food, nice people. But it was a bit unnerving to be told not to walk alone from the Quarter back to my hotel in the business district, even during the day.

And they say NYC (my own hometown) is dangerous!
