Born and raised 20 miles outside of New Orleans, been living in North Carolina for the past 20 years. I miss the food, people, hunting, fishing and heritage. I don't miss the hurricanes (except the drink), heat, mosquitoes, and pollution (chemical plants along the Mississippi). Of the 24 years living down there never been north passed Kentwood. I never needed to go North had everything right there in the south: New Orleans, the swamps, and the Gulf of Mexico
I would like to move back down there to retire. North Carolina is a nice place to live but it's being sold out to the yankees and getting over developed.
