re: OT: New Orleans Bowl / Dome question

all of canal is pretty shady. there will be bums and every type of riff raff on every corner. on some of the busier streets from canal toward the dome there will be bums all around for a block or so back toward the dome. There used to be a green space that was full of tents where bums slept on one of the main roads heading that way. I wouldnt chance it with my kid. You will be a target with nobody around and I doubt there will be much happening on a week night. Id call a uber or catch a cab.

Ive done it hundreds of times but crime is worse now and I surely wouldnt walk around new orleans late at night with just me and my young daughter.
