There are plenty of reasons to avoid it, but Abdul Jabbarjaw and the yeti bombers aren't one of them. That could have just as well been done in any large city. Also, looks like the cops reacted to it about as swiftly as can be expected.

Same. We don't actively avoid Nola, but the things that used to draw us there (Mardi Gras, gambling, Saints, day drinking all day) we just don't really do anymore.
I wouldn't drive 120 miles to go eat somewhere. I would like to do the WWII History museum at some point though. We've never been.

New Orleans has 3 types of neighborhoods:
One gun
Two gun, and
Three gun neighborhoods.

I wouldn't take my family to Nola to begin with.

They did what they needed to do at the exact time they should’ve, acting like true heroes.

No the shite arse natives of NOLA keep me away.

The truth is that these incidents are extremely rare (even more rare than school shootings.)

Not at all. The locals have kept me out of that place for the last ten years.

Havent willingly been in NOLA for a long time.

I am supposed to return to work tomorrow and the office is right there a few blocks away. I’m toying with remoting. I don’t think there will be more unless an unfound ied somehow goes off bc I haven’t seen where these terrorists return to same spot next day. But it will be a mess and I’ll be in it. I’m one to always go in, but don’t know what to do. Boss hasn’t sent an email.

Unfortunately I will be in French quarter probably 90% of work days until after Super Bowl

The issue with many here with NOLA is not this type of incident. This is pretty specific and out of character in my view for the type of violance most who stay away would stay away for.
Personally, it won't keep me from going. I know the issues with New Orleans, but there are places to go and things to do that I still love to do in New Orleans, and I'll still go on my terms and mind the when, where's and how's to make it enjoyable on those terms.

A guy from Houston comes to New Orleans and kills at least 15 people, and all the predictable anti-NOLA BS starts.
Posted on 1/1/25 at 5:25 pm to Yaboylsu63
No.

Touche' - I still like to go - again on my terms, which is where, when and how I want to. i understand those who don't want to, I'm not asking to them to.
Posted on 1/1/25 at 5:27 pm to Yaboylsu63
no.....y'all soft
Posted on 1/1/25 at 5:31 pm to Tiger Ugly
I don’t think for me it’s about Nola in general. It’s the next 2 works days and being in the crosshairs of the mess. I work in the city, but don’t have a desire to do things there. I would though if something came up.
