The niche of putting alcohol in food at Liquor demonstrates how anything could happen in New Orleans. If any other city were to try putting alcohol in every single food they served, it would be deemed crazy. New Orleans is just open to any sort of gimmick and is willing to try it. The fact that Liquor was able to successfully take off and stay in business goes to show how much New Orleanians love their alcohol. Even though it is…

In his article “Racially Disparate Views of New Orleans’s Recovery After Hurricane Katrina,” Campbell Robertson (2015) portrays the racially separate views of New Orleans’s healing process after the hurricane Katrina was hit in 2005.…
Miami has very long and unique history making itself different from other cities. What makes Miami different from other cities is the profound affect the Cuban and Haitians immigrants had in that current time and forward. How major events like the Cold War (1947-1991) which was over the struggle of capitalism vs. communism affected the growth of Cubans and held back the Haitians in Miami. Events like these cause the Cuban people to advance while on contrast barely help the Haitians. Cubans have advance more politically than Haitians because of the “Golden Exiles” arrival, government funding, and dominating the republic party.…

The city was founded by the French and named for Phillip, Duke of Orleans in 1718, and became capital of New France in 1722. In 1803, Napoleon gave the area to the United States as part of the Louisiana Purchase. Before the Civil War, New Orleans continued to grow, becoming the largest city from the eastern seaboard. Being spared from destruction during the war, New Orleans went on to develop a rather diverse culture within the city. Being a bit more liberal towards slaves, New Orleans was known for its many "free people of color".…
“In order to understand fully the economic impact of Hurricane Katrina on New Orleans, it is important to assess the impact of the economic forces driving the city.” (Michael L. Dolfman, Solidelle Fortier Wasser, and Bruce Bergman, 2005).…
Being an outsider is challenging anywhere in the world. Getting used to the food, the culture, or even the language is something that requires time and effort. New Orleans is a place that regardless where you are from, its people make you feel welcome. In some places, they would try to teach you their traditions, but in most of the cases you will learn by just looking around because almost everyone would be engage in them. I would say the connection between the people and the culture is what makes New Orleans a great city. Sara Roahen is an example of an outsider that fell in love with the city and tried to fit the culture in all the possible ways she could, as it is illustrated in her story: "Crawfish: A Crawfish Is a Darned Beast!"…

Soon New Orleans became the United States third largest and wealthiest city. During this time a lot of racial separation had been going on. In 1733 Moyne, Bienville freed two slaves who had been in his care for twenty six years. Later after everyone heard that he had freed his two slaves, it became common for a lot of manumission to happen. Manumission is the freeing of slaves by their masters.…
At times when I grow bored about living in Louisiana, the state’s remarkable culture, food, and geography soothes my adventurous desires to relocate. While a lack of activities to engage in is frequent when living in “the bowl,” going on a boat ride on a beautiful day eliminates my state of idleness. One might infer that water is just water if he sees it all the time because it is always there. When I visualize water, I think of my late grandmother who loved Louisiana’s bodies of water.…

Louisiana is state with a rich history and a colorful culture. To really understand the culture of Louisiana you need to understand the history of the state and the many different people who settled there. The existing culture of Louisiana was slightly altered every time a different group of people inhabited state. Each of the different nationalities that settled in Louisiana brought their own set of beliefs, customs and traditions with them and over time little bits of each were absorbed into the culture that all of the previous settlers had established. As individual nationalities settled in different parts of Louisiana each society took on their own characteristics that were specific to their culture.…
The piece in Voices of the Bayou I chose is “Love is Love” by Kelly, a woman who grew up in a small country town in Livonia, Louisiana. This piece was specifically to inform others about racism, how it affected her life growing up and how it is now still a problem in the world. Also, she goes into detail about how she chose to be her own person and stand out from the racism that went on in her family. She then further explains that she believes in equality and everyone should be treated the same no matter the color of the skin. In this piece, she shares a time in her life when she was younger and racism occurred.…
To completely understand this question, I had to look up the definition of origin, which is "the point or place where something begins, arises, or is derived." Now, there are two City's that Saint Augustine talks about, the City of God and earthly cities. The City of God has a guiding power that leads the city, God. A major quote that really showed me what the origin of the City of God is is "God has founded that City for eternity" (City of God, XI.1). This quote really showed me that the City of God was founded on the concept of eternity, or never ending, with God. The other city that Saint Augustine spoke about was earthly cities and a major quote that showed me what this city was built on was "The citizens of the earthly city prefer their own gods to the founder of this Holy City" (City of God, XI.1) At first, I like to think that I do not worship other gods, like the sun god, or the water god, but then when I really think about it, there are many times when I fall into the trap of treating a lot of things in my life as a god, like technology, food, or relationships.…
