• Kenner is south of New Orleans. Some say it is part of the greater metropolitan but you cannot prove that one by me. Kenner reminds me of an area where the dark creatures (vampires, undead) would hang out. Reminds me of the set location for True Blood (Bon Temps). The people are nice enough though. … • G.
