> New awlins. The "r" is not pronounced. The accent is much like a New York accent.
I was at a benefit concert tonight. All the muscians from New Orleans said "new awlins"
However you pronouce it, it's a state of mind and I hope it will remain a place as well.

ps. Biloxi and Gulfport too... some of the best beaches in the country, I pray that they will overcome this disaster.
