Contributor Bio(s): Kennon, Alexandra: - Alexandra Kennon grew up in the small town of St. Francisville, Louisiana, just a short drive north of New Orleans.

In addition to writing about Louisiana's rich history, cuisine and culture, Alexandra leads tours of her beloved city and acts for the stage and screen-she is most proud to have originated roles in two Tennessee Williams one-acts. |
