You don’t miss what you had until it’s gone. These days, we’ve had to change our daily routines, our jobs, and especially our interactions with others. With each passing day, this becomes the new normal, but hopefully, the end is in sight. When things start to settle down and we can get back to how things were, there are some things that you’ll never take for granted again.
- Going to your favorite restaurant
Infrogmation/Flickr Sure, many restaurants in Louisiana are still open and available for take out, but it’s just not the same.
- Going to your favorite bar
Gary J. Wood/Flickr Louisianians love their neighborhood bars, and not being able to have your evening nightcap with your favorite bartender is something we will never take for granted again.
- Crawfish boils
Hobie Caldwell/Flickr It’s prime crawfish season and the perfect weather for a backyard boil, so being on lockdown with each weekend really stings.
- Festivals
Louisiana Travel/Flickr Louisiana has hundreds of festivals throughout the year, and we are getting into what would be peak festival season. Now, just the thought of that many people in close proximity seems bizarre.
- Walking through your favorite outdoor attractions
Muhammad Saqib/Google Now more then ever, Louisianans are missing the luxury of being able to take their families to the zoo, local parks, aquariums, etc.
- Fully stocked grocery stores

- Social gatherings
