re: Are there truly any areas in BR/NOLA that you wouldn't walk alone at night

My dad played football at LA Tech in the early-mid 80's he had a pretty good large black friend named tank that was from one of the wards in NOLA, maybe 9th ward. Idk for sure though.

Anyway, them two and some other buddies from the team were going to NOLA for the weekend and when they got to NOLA, tank told them to take him to his house. So they did and when they got on the exit ramp tank told them to stop and let him out and that he'd walk from there. My dad said "what the hell for man? We're taking you to your house." All tank said back to them was "y'all wouldn't make it a mile into where I have to go to get home."

Realizing that they were all pasty white guys, they obliged and met up with him at the on ramp at the end of the weekend.
