Interestingly, the usual accents of New Orleans natives are not Southern at all. The typical accent is a modified Brooklyn accent, while those who lived in the garden district sounded like they were from Boston.

I'm glad you mentioned this! I've noticed it from time to time and could never figure out exactly what I was hearing. I don't know if you're familiar with a political strategist named Donna Brazille, but when I first heard her speaking, I would have bet BIG bucks that she was from somewhere in the Northeast U.S., but then I found out she's from Louisiana!
