I love some things about this place but I'll be happy when I get to move to New Orleans.

But overall....the landscape, food, culture,(some sections more than others but...) is very common in that general area newly known as the PONTRAPLEX!!! (Its gonna stick watch)

I'm not talking about the people, I'm talking about the landscape, development, and even the trees. Tell me how Metairie, Slidell, and Denham Springs are all the same since I'm biased. Or maybe Chalmette, Mandeville, or Gonzales; or any other combo you can come up with.

Correct me if I'm wrong WestbankNOLA but the landscape (minus the landlocked factor of NO) is basically the same. The most noticeable differences come down to architecture and development to me.

What I'm saying is there is no way, unless you really have a short attention span, that you can not ride through all 3 and not know that you are in 3 different places.

------------------------------------------------

Southshore feels looks/feels like a pancake, even though it isn't. Save for levees, even man-made embankments are few and inbetween. There are few hardwood trees and cypress, live oak, and palm dominate.

Northshore gradually elevates, maybe barely noticeable, but there are pine trees everywhere and a lot of other tall trees. It looks like places on the eastern half of the gulf, while BR and NO look more like the western half.

BR, is more subjective, but it has a more inland fill to me. They also have those bluffs here and there closer to the river and the trees are different than on this end.

----------------

I go hard on details so maybe it's just me who notices such things, but I just can't see how they are "all the same".

WestbankNOLA, lol I don't anyone who thinks that intuitively about each area. We have many Live Oaks and cypress trees in the metro. No cypress in NO metro?!

I think that intuitively about everything, what can I say? But no, I was saying that N.O. is mainly live oaks, palms, and cypress types trees; where the other areas have pine trees and hardwoods mixed in if not dominating.

I've been all over Louisiana and been to Baton Rouge and vacinity many times but I've never ever been to New Orleans. Isn't that crazy?

And by the way, I hate how the DFW is continuous. Its a big waste of money and nature. I don't like to see a jackinabox every 3 miles, I think we as a people are so over seeing lights and being cloaked in concrete. Ugh...I'm about to go sit under a pecan tree and kiss on it before the "urbandevelopers" ruin my chance at a homemade pie.
