Very well explained on the accents. You have helped make this thread an educational event. Whoever would have thought we would all be learning so much about New Orleans on all of these threads....their languages/accents, history, Ward 9, bridges, levee boards, local politicians ....to name a few. :o)
Thanks
Dats da nighnt wawrd, dawlin. :op
Thanks.
Nint' ward, which was NO east where the money was and the lower ninth, where the poor people lived (mostly black, most of the whites by that time had moved out to the Parish, as they said it (Moved to St. Bernard parish to live in Arabi and Chalmette).
There was a cop who turned writer O'Neil De Noux who wrote several novels about New Orleans that captures a lot of the flavor of NO and the various neighborhoods about 1990. He even had his parents live in a house where actually one of my girlfriends lived. It is that centered in the city.
