A JOURNAL OF PLACE & THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE IT
Stay a little.
There’s a story here.
Field notes from South Louisiana & Acadiana.
The food, the land, the lives woven through it.
FROM THE FIELD
No. 001 / Cameron Parish
GRAND CHENIER, LOUISIANAPEOPLE & PLACES / JULY 2026
An unexpected stop.
A story worth keeping.
Booth’s Grocery
We weren’t looking for Booth’s Grocery. We were looking for a restroom. On the way to Rutherford Beach, a stop at an old country store led us to Earl Booth Jr.—and our first field note.

LOOK A LITTLE CLOSER
The details that stay.
THE PARISH PASSPORT
Take the back road.
Keep a little proof.
Find a place on the map. Spend a little time there. Collect a stamp and leave yourself a note for the way home.
The first collection: three public places in Acadiana.
SOUTH LOUISIANA& ACADIANAA RECORD OF YOUR WANDERING
WHY WE’RE HERE
A place is more than
what fits on a map.
It’s who keeps the stories. Who cooks the meal. Who opens the door. We’re documenting as much of South Louisiana and Acadiana as we can, through the people who call it home.
