Look at the pictures. Okay, yes I know the Corvette is just awesome, but does anyone know what the house is in the background and what makes it famous??

You are from Louisiana, so my guess is Brittany Spears house?

A larger picture might make it easier.

Hard to tell, kind of looks like it's the house used in the tv show "Dallas" ('78-91). Southfork was home to the Ewings.

If that's the correct answer, keep in mind that half the people here were not yet born or were wearing their jammies when JR got shot there.

Sorry about the small pics......no, not B. Spears house, if it were it would have some trailers, mustangs on blocks......hehehe

The Louisiana part is correct......way down the road from New Orleans!

Keep Guessing...the answer is in every bar room.

Jack Daniel's house?

Johnny Walker's?

I know it's not Sam Adams'.
