Reply #104: I second that vote for New Orleans

[AnnInLa]

During our "Jazz Funeral for Democracy" march thru New Orleans on Inauguration Day, the people of New Orleans came out of their businesses to cheer and wave. After the march, I wore my Jazz Funeral button as we went into restaurants, bars and gift shops. All the sales people and patrons saw the button and praised our effort.

Of course, Louisiana is full of rabid-repuke bubbas, so one cannot venture out of New Orleans.

I love this thread....will retire soon after 23 years of teaching in the public school system. Was seriously considering relocating to a more progressive community (other than New Orleans) where I can feel comfortable and associate with other Dems. Here's hoping that some of you will mention the cost of living for people on a fixed income when discussing your community/state. I would love to relocate to a place that is not overly frigid in the winter....am too used to warm weather!
