I live in Louisiana and wouldn’t move to Mississippi or Alabama. I wouldn’t want to move to North Louisiana either but the (historically French) southern part of the state has amazing food and music and a unique culture. New Orleans is a fun, vibrant, interesting city and a major tourism destination for many reasons. It’s a fun place to live.
I've never been to any of those states, but I have a friend who lived in Louisiana for a while. He said they are a strange breed of people, plus there's alligator everywhere.
