There are so many special things about people from Louisiana. From the food to the music, what’s not to love? And there are certain things that people in Louisiana do better than anyone else. Here are those things that make Louisiana so special:
- Make a Roux
Flickr.com / pchsfysicstchr This secret to Louisiana cooking just can’t be made the right way anywhere else.
- Appreciate great music
Flickr.com / Lindsay Attaway Why does Louisiana have such a glut of amazing musicians? Because they have such amazing built in audiences. No one loves good musicians like we do…and we are loyal too. Like they say about Jazz Fest: “Where you’ll get a standing ovation from your grave…”
- Take care of those we love
Flickr.com / Rex Dingler If you’ve ever had a Louisiana lover, you know that once they’ve committed to you, they’re yours for life. We know how important it is to take care of our communities, and we do it with great joy.
- Make something out of nothing
Flickr.com / Michael McCarthy If you grew up in Louisiana, you probably knew some kind of struggle at some point or another. But you also probably figured out how to make a little go along way—and laugh through it all.
- Follow their hearts
Flickr.com / Shawn Harquail In Louisiana, even if we don’t have everything straight—we do have passion. Louisiana natives are trained to be who they are, even if it’s a little bit different.
- Throw a Festival
Flickr.com / Shreveport-Bossier Convention Center I’ve been to festivals in other states—they just don’t know how to do it. Let the professionals take over.
- Tell it like it is
Flickr.com / .sanden. In Louisiana, what’s the point of beating around the bush? Just get to the point, say it plain, and then get over it!
- Survive
Flickr.com / Louisiana GOHSEP It’s no secret that Louisiana has been through a lot. Heavy rains, storms, floods, and hurricanes make it no picnic to call this state your home. But you know what you get from all that struggle? The ability to survive and thrive.
- Pass a good time
Flickr.com / Jim Hobbs In Louisiana, we always know how to make lemons out of lemonade. There’s a way you learn how to enjoy life that is truly special.
- Have a Jam Session
Flickr.com / Dorret Almost every other person you meet plays an instrument here and they’re always willing to sit down and jam it out with you!
- Fry things
Flickr.com / thebittenword.com Have you tried fried okra from Louisiana yet? It’s simply heavenly…not to mention all the other things we know how to fry.
