My query is earnest.

I’m not terribly familiar with the area.

Is the consensus that I’m looking for a unicorn?

I was recently carjacked. I found NOPD’s responsiveness to the incident and vehicle recovery surprisingly prompt.

NOPD did/does have substantial assistance from the Feds.

In my experience NOPD response times tend to lag on MVAs, but officers are generally as attentive as staffing levels allow.

I doubt she cares to waste time speaking with managers. Though you may have a point, as $ does not necessarily indicate whether an individual is or isn’t going to be fussy and/or penurious.

Regarding good schools: I’ll proffer Newman, Sacred Heart, McGhee, Country Day, et al.

Perhaps I’m ignorant and/or obtuse, but I don’t get the Arabi allusion.

My bottom line is that schools in New Orleans are excellent & entertainment and fishing options are unparalleled for a city of its size. Additionally my commute is 10 minutes on a bad day and I don’t have to live amongst stultifying new construction.

I can have my boat in the water and be catching reds within 40 minutes of my doorstep.

If one doesn’t appreciate good food, good architecture, good music, good schools, affordability, walkability & the outdoors, I can understand why that person may not appreciate New Orleans.

I’ll choose to remain in NOLA, a place where my children can walk to great schools and I can walk or take a short drive to football games, good music, dozens of restaurants and bars.

Lucky Palace in Bossier. Lim has one of, if not the, best wine cellars in Louisiana.

Wonderful Malaysian food set in a building with an unassuming exterior.

I contend it’s the highest quality food & drink in the ArkLaTex region.

The interactions I’ve had with NOPD brass and patrol strongly favor continu oh my k ed federal involvement.. Absent federal involvement the clearance rate on violent crimes would likely suffer.

I understand your point, but it would be difficult to analogize Prine or Kris to “”Aldean”. They may be different animals who ought not be analogized.

My premise is that “Aldean’s” lyrics and song structures are largely unthoughtful, derivative and written for immediate commercial impact.. You can’t listen to “Sam Stone”, “Angel from Montgomery” or “Me &my Bobby McGee” and say those are commercially crafted schlock like that issued from the likes of “Aldean”.
