OK Jones then name me the draw that would bring tourists into the city? The ZOO? The WW2 Museum? There are those all over the country that are better. The food? NY, Chicago, San Fran etc.. all have better. What would bring people there? The Saints? Locals are fans not tourists.

Eliminate the Quarter and NO ONE would come there. The locals love to hate on the FQ but reality is if it was sunk into oblivion tomorrow that would be the death sentence of the city. Thats FACT.
I'm just saying that everytime a tourist compliments their time there, which was of course in the quarter, they get blasted by locals like "and he didn't even see the REAL NOLA"!! blah blah. Well I can tell you he probably didnt want to go eat at a little shithole like Guys to eat an overpriced overcooked shrimp poboy in a filthy little hole in the wall. They come there to party on Bourbon Street. That why the tourism bureau has the Quarter on EVERY commercial made. Taking that away would be like moving Gulf Shores and Destin north by 50 miles. How would those places fare if that were the case? People go to places because of the main attraction and in NOLA's case it's the Quarter.

The ZOO?
Besides San Diego Zoo and maybe 2 others, no one goes to a specific city for its zoo.

The WW2 Museum?
Its considered a world class museum so i dont know where youre going with this.

So after those three cities, no other city is worthy of going based off of the food? New Orleans is widely considered to be one of the top food cities in the US.

Well no shite.

Seems like you had one poboy at Guy's and didn't like it and are now mad.
Besides, besides LSU BR has no tourist allure, neither does Laffy. They're not dead.
And either way, regardless of the tourist value of the FQ, it's still not the best part of the city.

Dude, you have to actually visit before spouting this shite. The streets of Uptown are clogged with sightseeing buses, people are constantly asking me for directions(Uptown), I have to stop and let people cross in front of me cause they are so into looking at the homes/gardens. Your Idea of NOLA is just an idea of someone that doesn't know any better. That's OK, enjoy where you are.

I wish someone would tell the tourists this so I could ride the streetcar to work in peace.
