Meaning they use to be very prosperous or had a good economy. Cities that had more people back then than now.

Think like Detroit or Cairo, Illinois.

Also, what happened?

New Orleans used to be one of the most prosperous cities in the nation. It is a lawless burned out hulk now

New Iberia was a technological hub in the 12th century. Unfortunately invading Mongols ruined the ancient structures

Shreveport used to be an process engineering and oil hub.

New Orleans got a whammy when Fidel took out Cuba, shiitpiles of NOLA money was invested there, Miami wasn't shiit. Oil bust in the 80's was second and killer blow to NOLA tax base. They didn't need tourists to keep hotels, bars and restaurants full, they had business folks on expense accounts from all over the world, either staying full time.

Morgan City has my vote. 70s and 80s were awesome then. Now it sucks

I’m from the tri-city

Unfortunately when everything in your economy depends on one thing that’s what happens.

Most cities with competent leadership are gentrifying now. Shreveport is ghettofying now

Last time I went back I was shocked. Looked like a third world country in much of it.
