If they can keep the parking lot and immediate area safe and clean, it might work.

It's not where I would put a Top Golf in New Orleans, but I suppose there are worse locations.

How am I ignorant? Because I believe that the patrons of a business in that location could be a victim of a robbery? How is that ignorant?

It's got a great location with interstate frontage, but getting in and out is kind of a pain.

Well Birmingham and Huntsville, AL are both getting top golf... Pretty embarrassing if NOLA doesn't get one soon.

Well the one they're building in Birmingham is in the straight up hood across from a Church's Chicken. I'm sure this location is fine.

Yes but if you use that website, and that particular crime map... it will lead you to believe there are ZERO homicides in the Greater New Orleans area... so how accurate is it?

It defaults to a one week filter so it's misleading in that regard until you adjust time frame

I guess patron at any business in any location in the world 'could' be a victim of a robbery

Few blocks from the WW2 museum and some of the most expensive condos in the city
