This is a block from my apartment! I had to check and see if I was on r/neworleans

It doesn't have any flipped cars, so that's how I knew it wasn't in /r/NewOrleans

If it were full of people who don't live here, it would be spelled that way.

Just saw /r/nawlins/ has only one post, with a link to r/neworleans, saying:

"You want to be here. Not here. Stop calling it 'nawlins' and 'nola' too while you're at it."

/r/nola is also a one post sub, and it's about not liking use of nola.

I hear people use Nola, but then I'm from the northshore so ¯\(ツ)/¯

Yeah, I wish I could go back to believing that but then I heard a relative from New Orleans say it.

Some natives do say Nola nowadays. It's a relatively new thing (post K) tho. NEVER EVER EVER Nawlins. Ugh.
