Cass, that had me LOL! Partly because I've been to New Orleans and other cities in "Lou-siana" multiple times, and partly because like Mere said, SO much of that could apply to San Antonio, just change a word here or there!!!

There were a few that really got me going. ROFL!

Fiesta is big here, the whole city basically shuts down to party for a week and a half. There is one perticular Friday where we have the Battle of Flowers parade, and almost all the businesses in the city close by noon (except for the necessities places, gas stations, grocery stores). It's a school and bank holiday! I've always teased that everyone should live in a city that makes up its own holidays.
