Lou-eez-ee-anna, and New Or-lens,

Not Looo-ze-anna and N’awlins or New Or-lee-nz.

But native people don’t even agree on these.
^This!

I will add one caveat.

  • If "New" comes in front like the city, it's "New Awe-lins", as in the "City of New Orleans" or "New Orleans, LA" (pronounced New Awe-lins)
  • If you're saying it without the "New" in front like the street or parish, it's "Or-leens", as in Orleans Parish or Orleans Avenue. (pronounced Or-leens)
This is a subtlety that I feel like only locals grasp.

I just got an email that my energy just got personal. Look, I don’t need my utilities getting personal, ok. If water starts this too, I’m moving. I mean, I don’t need them fighting over being personal with me...that’s sure to be deadly.
