re: I'm moving to New Orleans... any advice?

Should be well-versed with how to handle gunshot victims by the time you are done there. Other than that?

Anywhere is better for advice than the redneck OT

My brother went to LSU med school. He got robbed at gunpoint in broad daylight walking to the parking lot on (near) Perdido St from class one afternoon in 1983. shite happens in the city. But he only got robbed once.

The good news is that a ton of ghetto was demolished to build UMC and the VA hospital after Katrina. The area around there is much nicer now, but still in the city.

Bookmarked for RIP eulogy.

Best and simplest advice is to always keep ya head on a swivel. Always be aware of your surroundings, whether it be pumping gas, going in or out a store, talking a walk, etc. it’s a shame we have to do this, but that’s what we’re faced with now. I used to think there were certain areas better than others, but like Clarence Buggs always says, it’s just a matter of time, and it’s “coming to a neighborhood near you!”
Good luck with it, and good luck with school.

Jefferson Parish, without question.

I grew up in NOLA and only when I moved out did I realize what a dung heap the place is. I was there for a wedding last year, only left my hotel twice for a quick run to Walgreen’s and then the liquor store, witnessed a crime both times. If you’re curious, one was a kid who stole everything off the top shelf at the liquor store, the other one was an old guy who couldn’t pay for his vodka so he took it and through it against the wall, shattering everywhere.

Those on this board will tell you to live in Ruston and commute to NOLA every day
