I have, but I'm not sure what those cities original culture looked like so I really have no gauge. I grew up in New Orleans and I miss the hell out of it...thing is I can't even visit. Hipsters and various other people fell in love with a caricature of the city, moved in and painted that caricature everywhere.

Most of that shite is only a problem if you bother to pay attention to it and let it be so. It's easy enough to ignore most of it if you wish, I find, and just live life however you want to live it.

There's plenty of issues in New Orleans that can make it a tiresome place at times. The phenomenon you describe is pretty far down the list of those.

I guess it's to my forefront because I no longer live there. Maybe I am nitpicking, and I can recognize that...but I know I'm not the only one who can feel a difference in the city. Parts are really hard to ignore....Frenchmen street used to be for our music and music only....know it's got a sprawling art gallery full of weird morbid "art" and people who make kitchy shite out of beads because it's SO NOLA!! That and the street is packed with people attending that type of shite...or putting on a random fricking fire baton show in the middle of the street. It's just shite like that that makes it different and hard to enjoy the way we used to be able to.
