I think his comments have already been cited on the Poly board, but this is the first "spoken word" I've come across. Voice inflection, tone, and tenor put a different spin on it. For your drive-time enjoyment.

Friend recently went for work function. He said it was so nasty and dirty. Also homeless people everywhere.

It's a shame too. I used to love going to NOLA and listen to some music, walk the quarter, etc. Now you couldn't pay me to go. Just sad.

It’s gotten very bad, even by Nola standards which are already low.

The city can’t even keep traffic signals on. Every day, new intersections have signals out. And I’m not talking in the East (I don’t go there). I’m talking Poydras in the CBD.

Absolute incompetence.

Carville helped make it that way. I always thought he was so cringe trying so hard to act like some blue blood uptowner. Dudes a coonass who has historically voted and supported leftist causes like a dumbass.

Well no shite Carville, your beloved democrat party and their association with Marxist theology has destroyed New Orleans and countless other cities across America and yet he just can’t say that. Just look at the large cities across America that have been run by the democrat machine for the past 50 to 75 years and what do you see? All have the same issues and somehow that is not that parties fault. He deserves to have to live in the shithole he helped create.

The perception of NOLA by those outside the state is even worse. Locals know where to go and not go. Out-of-staters paint NOLA with a broad brush of crime and a violent cultcha.

Was just looking at old B&W photos of my Grandparents cavorting at the Blue Room. Those were special times.

This. He is low rent trash that has voted the wrong way for decades and encouraged others to do so. F him.

The light at Poydras and Magazine has been blinking for almost an entire year now.

These are just like the most simple basic functions of any society or municipality of any size and locale for the past nearly 100 years that the people running this place can seemingly no longer figure out.

My granddad said he and my grandma saw Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald there. That was a cool place.
