    I'm a New Orleans native who recently moved home after a seven-year-exile in the actual Bible-Belt.

    New Orleans isn't part of the actual Bible-Belt? Is it in one of the belt loops that crosses Louisiana?

    I've got an MA in English and BAs in English and Spanish.

    If no one has claimed it already, you should definitely start up /t/writing.

      /t/writing has definitely been claimed, but I plan to participate actively! I'm also pretty excited about /t/guerrillawriters.

      As far as I'm concerned, New Orleans is out of sorts with all its surroundings. Religion's influence is strong here, but it's rarely accompanied by the hatred and intolerance I saw in other parts of the South. I've been told NOLA is to Louisiana as Austin is to Texas. NOLA people (on average) are taught to embrace the bizarre rather than reject it.
