re: I'm done with New Orleans

Born and raised here, own a home here, will be buried in St. Louis #2, and love it, but I'm not blind. I recognize all the shitty problems our banana republic of a city has (see my avatar line--given to me by a fellow poster in one of the COUNTLESS similar threads--in other words, those of us living here live in a "cesspool of rationalization" ).

I'm personally willing to deal with it. New York, Pittsburgh, L.A. all have their own issues.
