Any of us who have lived in south Louisiana more than 15 minutes know how unique of an area it is that we call home. As we become a more homogenized "neck of the woods", I think it's important that we celebrate the things that have and continue to make us special.

That brings me to the latest Facebook post we posed to you: "What are some things only heard in south Louisiana"?
