Dude, NO has been a steaming pile for a looooong time. Shame to cause it could be beautiful.

Post this same thread on the OT. Surprisingly, this one is more civilized and rational.

The one industry New Orleans has left in it - is tourism. It won’t be much longer until the city drives that off too.
You can remain in denial- and it certainly gives me no pleasure to say it - but the utter neglect reeks worse than Bourbon Street

For the life of me I can't understand why Coach Sean Payton's new bride doesn't care to live in NOLA !

There are no great American cities left. It's all the same everywhere, they are shells of them former selves. They may have a couple neat historical areas to look at, but the heart of the city and what made it once great is dead in all these places. It's hard to get in to all the reasons why, without probably walking on a couple eggshells too many, so will leave it at that.

I remember going to Mardi Gras in the late 80s felt safe because NOBODY fricked with the cops.
Years after Katrina were awesome because crowds were low and a lot of the locals were still hanging in Houston.
Last time I went a couple of years ago I felt like I was on patrol in Baghdad. Not going back until NOLA brings the hammer down on crime in the FQ.

... maybe ya'll are all wrong about New Orleans ...
Could be there was a concerted effort by certain groups of people to give an appreance of a downward spiral-- all ochastrated so that "they" would have complete control.
The crime, the trash, everything that would scare you away.
These people work off of FEAR.
But this last April things changed, these people were put in their place. LaToya was forced by city council to take a seat two weeks ago and resulted are seen.
Maybe the tourists have fled --- but they will be back. I find it kind of nice being here right now.
You will see.

... this reminds me of an area in Pennsylvania, around Kennett Square, and the mushroom farms.
The area was beautiful and during the early 1990s the mushroom farmers tried desperately to keep the area spacious with no crowds. Well the framers were somewhat successful because of the smell of the mushrooms --- they stunk.
But over the years the farmers lost the battle because the real estate became so valuable.
So the farmers had to give in, but they found a work-around.
Now the mushroom farms are constructed underground -- no stink.
If those farmers can solve the stink problem, New Orleans will solve their problems- You will see.
Have a little faith

There’s no charm left in NOLA. It’s been taken over by hipsters who moved in from somewhere else, and criminals. It’s so sad y’all. I don’t know how it’s possible to live there.
I grew up about an hour south of New Orleans and had first cousins that lived there. I never, ever understood the allure of the city, except perhaps for it’s architecture.
I’ve never really had the urge to visit there, and except for a handful of times, I’ve stayed away.
I can’t imagine it being any less appealing to me than it was then, but it sounds as if it’s a definite no go for me anytime in the future. I still can’t understand how tourist plan a vacation around that place. That’s especially true if they have kids.
If so, I can understand your never seeing the allure of Nola. It was always a decadent, raunchy place. I know Las Vegas got called "sin city", because it's vices were legally mandated and it's why the city was made. It is the commercial, "chain brand" version of sin city.
Nola was more of a naturally evolved 'sin city'. It was that way for centuries, with a European, anything goes party lifestyle. It's decadence wasn't manufactured, it was the result of multiple relaxed cultures merging and thriving outside of a fairly Puritanical/wholesome US influence.
But the thing was, it was always safe to peruse and sightsee, and the temptations were legit tempting. Sure, the preacher would shake his head at it, but going there would jeopardize your soul far more than your life.
Now, whatever charm and temptations were there, are gone. There is no more elegance, just squalor and crime. There's nothing seductive, no danger anymore to your soul. You're not going to be tempted to indulge, like you once were. It's not a glamorous vixen anymore, it's a festered crack ho.

Third generation nawlins here. Left there thirty years ago and haven’t been back but a couple of times just for funerals. Thank God that all of my family members left there and settled in other parts of the state. I love my home state but to hell with that democrat shite show there.

Brings back memories from our evacuation to Madison, Florida for Katrina.
Was asked by some people there that just from watching the national news is it true that there are no white people living in New Orleans.

The quarter would not be the way it is if Carlos Marcelo was still alive. He ran a tight ship.

Bourbon Street looked fine during the RDR
