-Fried Chicken is everywhere. There are 7 fried chicken restaurants on one corner right by our house.
-There is a very specific way that southern women say "Bye". Can't even explain it, but I know it when I hear it.
-When you have a baby, expect everyone who even remotely knows you to show up at the hospital and see the new baby. Where I am from, most people won't come to the hospital unless they are specifically invited.
-Everybody is always fixin' to do something. Fixin' to leave, fixin' to get coffee, fixin' to eat, etc.
-Most people don't leave the house without getting fully dressed and putting on makeup. You can't go to target in sweatpants and a sweatshirt without feeling out of place.
-Louisiana doesn't have counties, they have parishes.
-When you buy a car and get it financed it is called a car note. Not a car loan.
-Duck Dynasty is filmed about a mile from our apartment. A lot of people that are from here went to school with them or know them in some form.
-Most of the men around here drive trucks and most sports cars are driven by women.
-A shopping cart is called a buggy.
-Richard is really bothered by the fact that they have no micro breweries in the area.
-At times, people will stop at the end of the on ramp for getting on the interstate. Beware.
-Southern hospitality is a real thing. Everyone welcomes you into their family and invites you to family functions, even when you barely know them. This is what I will miss most, the people.
Update: Read part #1 and part #2.
