In Baton Rouge, a Tinge of Evacuee Backlash - New York Times
In Baton Rouge, a Tinge of Evacuee Backlash - New York Times: "'You can't take the city out of the yat, and you can't take the yat out of the city,' said Frank Searle, a longtime Baton Rouge resident, using a slang term for New Orleanians derived from the local greeting, 'Where y'at?'
'These people will not assimilate here,' Mr. Searle said. 'They put up with the crime in New Orleans, and now it's staring them in the face, but up here that's not going to be tolerated. People are going to handle it individually if they have to. This is the South. We will take care of it.'"
