While we are far from perfect, I'm proud to say I was born and raised in South Louisiana. Anytime I travel anywhere else, I feel a tug on my heart because Louisiana is home. Word has definitely gotten out that the South is where it is at because, according to Stacker, there has been an influx in population growth in southern states.
