re: How does Slidell compare to New Orleans?

I was born in New Orleans. Grew up in Slidell. Moved to Covington. If you ask me Slidell is turning into what everyone moved out of New Orleans for. I had a great childhood and felt relatively safe growing up. It's nice having access to New Orleans(The French Quarter/Metarie) and The Casinos on the Mississippi Coast. Great fishing and hunting. I am proud of my Louisiana heritage and love our unique culture.
