it wasnt like L9 was some opulent nabe where kings and kings resided and all the homes were kept up
most them houses were barely liveable
ijs
again,
the day in and day out of living in a tourist city is not what it's cracked up to be
been there
done that
you can't live in "the moment" of the beautiful beach or being drunk on bourbon/canal every day of the year
you need employment
proper grocery stores
decent public schools
safe neighborhoods
every time we'd go to nawlins we'd always be gingerly creeping around this or that neighborhood
reminded me of visitng my cousins in south central in the mid-80s
head constantly stayed on swivel
