If we are going to be totally honest, the only city that really matters in Louisiana (to tourists, at least) is New Orleans. In N’Orleans, as they say there, you can get fat on giant beers, shrimp gumbo, and po-boy sandwiches. Not to mention party for more hours than there are in a day.
Where else would you build a whole city under sea level and offer a ton of excess water and lax nudity laws? Sounds pretty damn fun! With all of that consider, we might just take a week off to go for Mardi Gras. And there’s also this bar in New Orleans, with these wacky signs at the front.
Iowa (Part 2)
When it comes to restrooms, you want to feel as comfortable and that you have some level of privacy to do your business. In an amusing yet telling photograph, someone snapped a selfie while inside a public restroom in Iowa.
Puzzled and slightly perplexed, the individual couldn't help but express their bewilderment at the unusually short stall walls in Iowa's rest stops. But this maybe says more about the people of Iowa, who are naturally very curious individuals. Just as the stall walls offer little privacy, Iowa is a very open place, where people are expected to let each other into their lives.
Kentucky (Part 2)
The classy sign you see before you is actually the Kentucky State motto, “You honk, we drink.” It apparently came from the teachers union and their slogan, which was “You exist, So We Drink.” Just to confirm - we are telling a joke here.
The actual motto of the State of Kentucky is "United We Stand, Divided We Fall," which was actually the motto to promote the movie "Captain America: Civil War." So you can imagine how upset we were when Colonel Sanders didn't make a cameo in the post-credits scene. We waited two and half hours to not see that white suit master! But after the movie, we went to KFC anyway, so it's all good.
Maine (Part 2)
Welcome to the state where you fall in love with Moxie, not with humans. And in life, you need to have plenty of moxie to succeed. In Maine though, it's not a character trait. It is a type of soda.
Moxie is a local soda brand that is apparently as bad as the state. Can’t they just be like the rest of Americans and drink themselves to diabetes with Coca-Cola? We imagine that Moxie has some secret ingredients like maple syrup or moose blood. Or maybe Stephen King came up with the recipe in one of his books. Who knows?
Maryland (Part 2)
Maryland offers up some pretty delicious seafood and shellfish. But if you don’t want to get crabs, you better watch what you say in this crab-loving state. And if you don’t want to try their crab cake you will have problems because their state motto is literally “try the crab cake or get the heck out.”
OK, the state motto is actually "Strong Deeds, Gentle Words." And this sign really hits that message home. At the very least, get some crab cakes while you're in town, go back to your hotel and eat them while watching some of "The Wire."
