We had more shootings in the Quarter around Bourbon St..the tourist mecca of the City. Drive me crazy when I see these wide eyed tourist come down and the very first thing is LETS GO DOWNTOWN. Um, no.
@Spicoli bro, last year we spent 9 days in downtown over there in the French Quarter, the Garden District, walked around over there behind the Superdome, some tough areas back there, I hear what youre saying --- definitely do not go downtown! And whats with those dudes out there by the riverboat docks? Gotta watch your ass out there but the PO BOYS WERE DELICIOUS, COULDNT STOP.
You came last year it must've been deserted with so many places closed. You ventured beyond the tracks around the old B.W cooper huh . Like any large concrete jungle, there is good and bad. I tend to shat on the City but it's not all bad 24-7. But what I've found now is in a way it used to be that people 'went to the crime'. Certain areas, blocks and Parishes you knew to skirt etc. Now though the crime has started to come to the people. The Quarter specifically. Like a targeted tourist trap. Much as I hate to say it, pre covid you saw young dudes on bikes going through side streets wearing bandanas you had a heads up. Now though everyone is masked and gloved. Really bizarre. Car jackings have like tripled, robberies, home invasions etc. Can't go wrong with the Po boys, Crabby Jacks or Guys was my go to. Mothers did this insane roast beef with a coffee/gravy with slaw topped with an egg. Bahn Mi too, fookin favorite currently.
