Yes, left there in 1985 to see the world in the USAF retired back there in 2004. I actually went to a private Catholic school in the 9th ward, Holy Cross High School, 175 years old and now relocating to another area.
My wife and family made it back for Mardi Gras with the family, I was stuck here in Georgia :)
I've been here in GA for almost a year now. still miss home a bit though. Funny, never thought I would. Atlanta is so big and busy. I guess I'm just a small town girl at heart.
