One of my favorites is Turtle Town off the Maui shoreline.

No shops. No restaurants. Rarely any people.

Just clean air. Sea turtles. Beautiful reefs and fish. You can see 200 feet in all directions.

I think every city or community in america has an area of interest to tourist. From the Amish in the northeast to the Cajuns here in louisiana. Just in the New Orleans area, you have the French Quarter, the Garden District, the plantation communities, the cemetaries are big here, the 9th ward since Katrina made it famous. New Orleans isn't really "cajun" but more creole influence. A mixture of all of the cultures over the years. Cajuns are more prevalent along the bayous to the southwest and west of new orleans although they were deposited in New Orleans in the 1700. They generally migrated out of the city to the areas already populated with family and friends. The cajuns that stayed mixed with the population giving rise to the Creole traditions. I could go on.

Louisiana also has a large German immigrant population which also mixed with the cajuns and the creoles in the 1700s. You get a lot of butchering of names which makes it hard to do any genealogy. In fact, I just recently traced my german heritage back to the Rommel family in Germany. I can't direct link us to the German General's family but they are from the same area in Germany.
