Have you ever noticed that no matter how unique an area is, there are some constants? That's how it is here in Louisiana. No matter what part you visit, you're sure to run into these twenty things at some point! I love the Bayou State, I really do. If anyone else said these things about us, I'd want to slap the tar out of them, but you have to admit, they're true! Some of these are funny and some are sad but true. *sigh*

1. Kids chasing an ice cream truck or the mosquito control truck.
2. An abandoned property with tornado/hurricane damage
3. The best food you've ever had in your life.
