Avoid Interstate During Work Commute

Driving around the city is typically very easy except during the morning and evening work travel times. Plan your schedule to avoid needing to drive at those times. If you do - use your GPS to find the fastest routes.

Y'all, Lagniappe, Eaux

Louisiana is full of culture and traditions. You will likely hear a friendly "y'all" meaning "you all" . Lagniappe -is just a little something extra that will frequently be applied. Anything ending with "eaux" is pronounce "o". Geaux Tigers, for example.
