Discover the Differences between North Louisiana and South Louisiana!

North and South Louisiana are night and day! Thank you for this video.

I was born in Shreveport, but was raised in Ruston and I currently live in Ruston, you could say North Louisiana is basically either an eastern extension of East Texas, a southern extension of Arkansas, a western extension of Mississippi, or even a facsimile of all three, whereas South Louisiana is pretty much its own thing, being distinct from the rest of the South. Great video and good job explaining the differences between North and South Louisiana. :)

I’ve lived in north Louisiana all my life; 63 years. I’ve been to many other states, but there’s no place I’ve found where I’d rather live. I enjoy biding south Louisiana, but I love north Louisiana.

The reason people in Shreveport/Bossier City in North Louisiana like the Dallas Cowboys because Shreveport is only 200 miles from Dallas. Shreveport is 314 miles from New Orleans in South Louisiana. Shreveport/Bossier City is closer to Dallas, TX than New Orleans, LA both in distance and culture.

Both South & North Louisiana uses the catchphrase "ya heard me" 😂😂😂

Born and raised in Thibodaux and have only been in the Deep South of the state I enjoyed learning the difference between the 2 parts. Love to call the Boot home!

The east Bank of the Mississippi River is jazz/creole, and the west Bank of the Mississippi River is Cajun French/Zydeco music, seafood, turtle, alligator, chicken and pork 😋, Frog festival in Rayne, La., Crawfish festival in Breaux Bridge, La., Rice festival in Crowley, La., Sugar cane festival in New Iberia, La., Shrimp festival in Delcambre La., just to name a few 🎉😊

I’ll never forget that time that Justin Wilson said, “way up north, around Shreveport”. 😂

This was a great fun video to watch. Thanks for making it!

I plan on relocating my family to Louisiana in the next 3 years. I haven’t narrowed my search yet but am looking at the Baton Rouge area.

They got plenty of daiquiri shops in South LA

I have lived in Ruston for about 7 years during and after attending LaTech. You cannot buy liquor in the city limit as well as beer on Sunday. But quite literally on the other side of that city line you'll find the liquor stores open 7 days a week.

Anything south of I-10 is Cajun country…… anything north of that, is Red Neck Central!!!

This content is very informative and helpful. Thank you

Shreveport will always be known for Elvis Presley singing and being discovered at the Louisiana Hayride Country Western Show at the Municipal Auditorium.

This was very informative.

Liquor store is open 7 days a week in Shreveport

Baton Rouge is North Louisiana for the most part. I grew up in south Louisiana, but my family is all from north Louisiana so I spent a lot of time there growing up and visit there more now that my parents have retired. And the NOLA accent is slightly different than cajun as well as the words they use. You can buy alcohol in north Louisiana if you are in a larger town, but many small town stores in North Louisiana won't even carry alcohol (one store owner told us that nobody in town would buy it from him - they don't want to be seen by their fellow Pentecostals buying alcohol). There are plenty of drive through daiquiri places in towns like Houma, Thibodaux, Metarie, Layette, and the west bank. That's why I say Baton Rouge is not the same as the rest of south Louisiana if you haven't seen many there. The difference is maybe that they aren't solely a drive-thru and you can drink it in the shop or drive through. They put a piece of tape over the opening so it is considered a closed container. And to me North Louisiana is far more religious even if they have less religious holidays (since there aren't as many Catholics).

I'm from the bayous, swamps and cane fields (Raceland Louisiana) and to us along the bayous everything above I10 is North Louisiana. Our Cajun accent gets heavier or thicker the further south you go down the bayous. Being born and raised on the bayou (I'm 59) you can usually tell what town or city someone was raised in. Every time that I've been to Lafayette, Baton Rouge or New Orleans I get at least i person asking if I'm from Raceland, Lockport or Larose because they go to Grand Isle or they have friends or relatives along the bayou and i don't sound like I'm from Galiano or Golden Meadow. I liked your video, Thanks.

I like in NW Louisiana. Once get north of Alexandria it's like someone pressed the suck button.
