My wife and I rode bicycles all over the city often. We would go for a weekend or just an afternoon and cruise around the Quarter and all along the river because at the time I felt safer closer to the river. We had many really cool adventures doing that mostly involving stopping somewhere and eating and drinking.

Charleston, Savannah, Athens, all with plenty of flavor, culture, and mild craziness, but with much less cultcha.

Let's turn this into a game. Everyone take terriblegreen's statement and change it to something you literally worried about in New Orleans.

You are a sheltered little lake boy. Meet me under the Tybee Island pier at midnight and I'll show you what smooth heroin feels like and leave you with just a broken arm and HIV, but I won't steal your car or take your money or murder you. But you better claw your way up to the dunes with your good arm before the tide comes in, or you'll be ripped to pieces by the bull sharks.

My wife is a native of NOLA. When we first met she asked what I thought about New Orleans. My answer was, "I've never seen as many retarded people as in New Orleans."

There's not another city on the planet with as much character, art, food, and expression as New Orleans


I always have fun in Nola too, but are we sure about this?

Character and expression are ambiguous. Art is overrated. The food is good, but best on the planet is a stretch.

It’s a good two night town. Would be a lot nicer if it weren’t full of violent criminals

I just can’t really bother with the city anymore and am convinced anyone living there is either trapped (in the actual trap) or just doing it to say “i live in new orleans.”

“There’s just something about her!” Uh, yea. “She” is basically a disgusting smelly crime mecca. A once beautiful city that is now the poster child for how to not run a city.

Personally, I don’t see how anyone could describe seeing homeless and drunkards as “feeding to soul”, but everyone is different.

But have you done so while also getting a parking ticket put on your freshly broken into car that you find after an overpriced supper of something saturated in butter?

Because that's truly the unique experience New Orleans has to offer.






ETA, I forgot to bring up the urine stench.

The music, art, food, and spirit of this city make it worth it. And some of us spend a great deal of time trying to improve the lives of the unfortunate souls trapped in a violent loop of poverty and despair because we care about the city and the people in it.
