What were the most shocking things you saw?

9th Ward chickens is still the damnedest thing I ever saw there.

Why would we be spending time in the 7th or 9th ward

No, but I've read about it on the internet.

I’m from Chalmette so the 9th ward was always part of life. The most shocking thing was the amount of crusty white people willing to walk around the 9th ward since Katrina

I saw the Claiborne bridge collapse. That would be the most shocking thing by far.

Spent time? Like prison time? That would be the only way.

What’s shocking is that not long ago most of the 7th ward was a decent place to live. I used to shoot pool in St. Roch once in a while and that was a good neighborhood.
The neighborhood around Bud Rip’s in the Bywater was muuuch shadier, and that’s now hipster territory.

Yes, and way before Katrina. Most striking thing, taking care of some of the kids there, through our church outreach program, was that the only conflict resolution the kids had was fighting. They learn it early. Someone fouls you, there wasn’t any fouls called, they just started swinging…..

Lived in the upper 9. Tons of good and bad.
Funniest...guy rings my bell at 2am and ask if I want my grass cut. I had a 6ft by 4ft "lawn".
9 pm on a weeknight a band marched out on a corner bar and makes a 2nd line around the block.
I did walk to and from the house with a gun in hand.
Sign on house just before Katrina, " YOU LOOT WE SHOOT".

I played on the bar league in the 90s.

Bud Rips was a fully unreputable place to spend a day and night. Hipsters have ruined it

Do they still have to buzz you in at night?

New Orleans East is part of the 9th. In the 70s and 80s it was a great place to live. We had our own Mardi Gras parade and I think for a time St.Patricks Marching club. Great playground scene especially during football season.
Bywater is part of the 9th and it has been pretty safe (reatively) for many years. My great uncle had a killer old house on Congress Street. If he had kept it until 2000 even, he would have made serious money. Lots of cool places in the Bywater. Bud Rips, Markey's, Jack Dempsey's. Mandich's restaurant was very good and Frady's Po-boys. Now, venture across St.Claude Avenue....all bets are off and you should proceed fully strapped beyond Lama's St Roch Market
