re: New Orleans could actually be a nice city

Here's the thing. I think at least on the East Bank the infrastructure is starting to improve greatly especially with the expanded street car lines that have been built... Also, you see a lot of new construction especially in what is being called the South Market District just south of the Superdome and the Medical Center area along Tulane Avenue.

The major crime problems tend to be mainly in NO East and Algiers....which a cop friend of mind has told me is by something of design.
