I'm afraid guessing isn't your strong point. I was born and raised in Baton Rouge and until I was 47 years old lived and worked in that city as well as New Orleans (8 years), Houma (1 year), and Bay St. Louis, Mississippi (15 years). "Hancock Parish" is one way people in the rest of Mississippi sometimes jokingly refer to the westernmost county on the Mississippi Gulf Coast where Mardi Gras is celebrated, bars are ubiquitous, and poboys and boiled crawfish can be found on most restaurant menus. (The shrimp poboys from Waveland's Claiborne Hill Supermarket deli are among the best I've ever had. I'm told the roast beef aren't bad either, but I always order the shrimp.)

When I lived on City Park Avenue, we could hear the music from JazzFest from our front porch if the wind was just right.
