My older daughter just moved back to Baton Rouge from State College, PA for reasons 1-3, 8, 9, 11, 12 (LSU), but especially 15-26.

What, boudin's not on the list?
That's a good one, but I actually don't like boudin, which led many people in Lafayette to ask me where I was from.
It is entertaining to listen to Springfieldians try to pronounce "boudin."
Most non-LA folks here say "boo-DAN"
