At least in my memory, things started unraveling in New Orleans at the beginning of the 1980s and then the bottom really dropped out in the 1990s because of crime and the continued migration of jobs.
The World’s Fair was not so much the pinnacle, but sort of the last hurrah for New Orleans as an actual functional relevant American city.
