This helps rectify things. I grew up in New Orleans, and I always noticed the change. But always heard how the northern parts of the country was better at showing the fall colors. It is, don't get me wrong. However, I couldn't imagine how the city could change any more than it did. Even traveling around the area for soccer tournaments, I still saw everything that wasn't a southern pine turn yellow, orange, red, and brown.
Apparently, the southern run of the Mississippi River has its own cluster of Fall colors and I was lucky to see it compared to the rest of the Gulf.
