I remember when I first moved to Louisiana back in 2001. I came across a lot of different names when I first got here and I am sure that I have probably messed up a name or two during my twenty years of being here. Believe me, with me being a native of Mississippi, there are not a lot of languages that I am fluent in. As a matter of fact, I took 2 years of French in high school and there is nothing like the French language that you would hear around Louisiana.

I came across this hilarious video from "It's A Southern Thing" and I laughed from the beginning to the end.

Many of the included towns jump out at the casual observer as popular summer-rental spots--the Ozarks' Branson, Missouri, or Arizona's Lake Havasu--it might surprise you to dive deeper into some quality-of-life offerings beyond the beach and vacation homes. You'll likely pick up some knowledge from a wide range of Americana: one of the last remaining 1950s-style drive-ins in the Midwest; a Florida town that started as a Civil War veteran retirement area; an island boasting some of the country's top public schools and wealth-earners right in the middle of a lake between Seattle and Bellevue; and even a California town containing much more than Johnny Cash's prison blues.
