YES YES YES! I love New Orleans. Greg and I went to the library last night to hear Bryan Batt discuss his memoirs in his new book (he's an actor on Mad Men). He grew up in New Orleans. You could tell how much he still loved this area. Greg said, "New Orleans has a soul." It does and once you've been part of it, it stays with you no matter where you go.
