New Orleans: Mon Amour

Love NOLA: Ten things you learn from living in New Orleans

By Brett Will Taylor

Good grief. Yesterday marked the two-year anniversary of my move from Boston to New Orleans.

Has it really been two years? Has it only been two years? Forty-eight months in and it’s hard to remember ever living anywhere else. This city gets into your bones, your blood, your soul … erasing all that has come before and taking control of all that will follow.

That’s what love and lovers do, right?

And there’s no doubt that I love New Orleans. I’m also extremely grateful to her. Because, you see, in just two years, she’s taught me quite a lot. About living in New Orleans. About living, period. Love and lovers do that, too. Right?
