One Dead in Attic blog

I believe that being identified with a town as strongly as Chris Rose was is a perfectly good thing. I grew up here in Sioux City, and it is the only place I have ever known as home. I have most of my family here and did not want to leave them behind. I may also have a hard time leaving here to persue a career elsewhere after college. The author stated the reason he loved New Orleans so much was because of the music and the rich cultural heritage. He wanted to raise his children there so they could grow up with that culture. In the same sense that Rose wanted to raise his children in New Orleans, I would be willing to raise mine here someday. I like that it is a big enough city that there is typicall something to keep you busy, but it still has a sense of small town hospitality and friendliness.
