Alligators, cypress swamps, bayous, crawfish, shrimp, sugar cane, and of course, the Cajuns, are among the many things brought to mind
with the mention of the name, Louisiana. Join us on this photo tour of Southern Louisiana and take in some of the sights that folks living here have the opportunity to enjoy every
day. True, Louisiana is a part of the South, but it is certainly not your typical Southern state. In fact, Northern Louisiana is quite different from Southern Louisiana.
This
site is dedicated to all those who have an interest in or have a love for the Land of the Cajuns. Whether your interest be the Bayous, Southern Cuisine, Haunted Houses, or even the
French Quarter, you’ll find something here that will strike your fancy. We’ll teach you how to make some of the more popular drinks that can be found in many parts of
Louisiana. Even if you are halfway across the world, we hope to bring out a bit of the Cajun in you. Kick back and relax, turn up your volume, and enjoy!
Please take a moment to sign our guestbook,
and always remember to...

 The Crescent City Connection bridges span the Mississippi River and provides direct access
from the West Bank into the Central Business District (inlcuding the French Quarter). Be prepared to pay a one dollar toll as you travel toward
the city, but it’s a toll-free trip when you’re heading in the other direction. Click on the pic to see a larger version.

Latest News from The Gates of Dixie
|
|
Welcome visitors. It’s been quite a year and quite a while since The Gates of Dixie had an update. Why? I actually LOST the Gates
of Dixie website on one of the five computers I have here. It turned out to be on a laptop that hadn’t been turned on in at least six months! Enough crying, I found it, have
now converted the site to a later version of NetObjects Fusion (the web publishing program), and it’s now up and updated once again.
Mardi Gras 2008. Not as large as it has been in recent years, according to sources I’ve found. Though I haven’t found an
official count yet (as of this writing), it was still a helluva party, as it usually is. The Superbowl, Super Tuesday (presidental primaries), and it’s proximity to the Christmas
season this year, high gas prices, plus a weaker economy have discouraged even some of the real diehards.
Please look around, enjoy our site, and sign the guestbook. We appreciate it!

Dear Guests: We have worked very hard on this site in hopes that it will educate, inform, and entertain. All donations are appreciated, once we get our
tip jar back up, but if you can’t do that, please donate a little of your time to signing the guestbook below and let us know what you think. As always, we appreciate your comments. Thanks, Gil Davis
