Famous People

We all think that famous people are mostly from or around California. We do not think that famous people can come from Louisiana, but some famous people did come from here. Ian Somerhalder came from Covington, Louisiana. Reese Witherspoon was born in New Orleans, Louisiana. Tyler Perry was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana where he held an abusive relationship with his father. The famous Ellen Degeneres was born in Metairie, Louisiana. There are plenty more where that came from too!

Movies Filmed In Louisiana

Louisiana is not known for much, which is sad to say. However, it is making it's way up to fame. Louisiana has it's fame moments when movie films film some of their movie clips in Louisiana. Pitch Perfect was filmed here once. That is a movie that most people know. 21 Jump Street was filmed in Louisiana. Some more films that have taken place in Louisiana are: Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, Aquamarine, Battleship, The Best of Me, Broken City, Fantastic Four, Pitch Perfect 2, Playing For Keeps, and so much more. Louisiana is slowly making it's way to the top.

Weather

Louisiana's weather is completely bipolar. The weather here is extremely humid. That is the only thing that is straightforward in Louisiana weather. In the mornings and at night, the weather is extremely cold. The weather changes quicker than you can blink your eye! Louisiana is located under Arkansas, which means it is in the South. The South does not really get much snow. Surprisingly, we have received snow. We have received snow quite a handful already in my lifetime. It was a memorable moment every time that it snowed. Chances are if it snows again, half of Louisiana will go wild! Not having snow every year makes snow more valuable. If we were to have it every year, we would not enjoy the cold as much; because we expect it. 

New Orleans Pelicans

Louisiana's NBA (National Basketball Association) team is the New Orleans Pelicans. The New Orleans Pelicans are not as heard of as the NFL players, or at least where I live. The Pelicans are a good team. They have a good history of winning their games a good bit. The players include: Anthony Davis, Austin Rivers, Eric Gordon, Jrue Holiday, Tyreke Evans, Ryan Anderson, etc. These players are outstanding on the floor. I hope that throughout time, this team gets the fame they deserve!
 

New Orleans Saints

The New Orleans Saints is Louisiana's NFL (National Football League). The Saints won the Super Bowl in 2009. The New Orleans Saints were only in the Super Bowl series once. Being in the Super Bowl is a really good thing, but that does not define your team altogether if they are good or not. The Saints were and still are one of the greatest football teams regardless of how many times they have been in the Super Bowl. They were playing against Indianapolis Colts and won. The Saints this year are barely winning. That is incredibly sad to say, but is it not true? All I have heard from people is "They aren't a good team this year." or "They barely won!" Louisianians take football somewhat serious here. Saints will redeem themselves! That is what I believe! 

Food

I personally love Louisiana's food. It has a taste of spicy to most of it's dishes. I love how a lot of the foods taste, because it does not taste plain like most of the foods in other states. Crawfish is one of the most popular foods eaten in Louisiana. Crab is somewhat popular, just not as popular as crawfish.

Music

It's the birthplace of America's only indigenous art form—jazz—but Louisiana also is home to a host of musical styles ranging from country, gospel and blues to hip hop, rockabilly and rock 'n' roll. Most people, however, knows Louisiana as the birthplace of jazz. Jazz is the music that erupted when African and European traditions converged in America, and nowhere was that mix more potent than in New Orleans.
