And if you go through Pascagoula[1], do NOT stop and ask a local where the pass-CAG-you-la bridge is; you might endanger your life. ;-)

Yes,
They built the LHA ships in Pascagoula. I designed the engine control system. It was digital, state-of-the-art. They couldn't get the swabbies to maintain it, so a few years later they ripped it out and went to pneumatics.
So, how do you pronounce Tchoupitoulas Street?
Tourists say titch-a-pit-u-las

Collocquialism. New Yawkers call NYC "the city".
In the Minneapolis and Los Angeles suburbs, it's just "Downtown."
Cheers! Rich
I thought they say Noo Yoik :-)

"Downtown" is different than "The City". In NYC there is also "Uptown" and "Mid-town". In Chicago, "downtown" is called "The Loop".
In Joizey, perhaps. ;-)
In Philly, its "Center City".
