I used to live in New orleans several years ago... So my information isn’t first-hand current now but in general New Orleans is one of the most unsafe cities in the USA, more like a third world country atmosphere. If there are lots of other people around it is somewhat better but I wouldn’t go alone. All the criminals have come back to town and there is a crime wave that is bad even by NOLA standards there now.9AM is safer than evening though, I’d say.

There are no safe places in town now, according to my friends who still live there. By the way, those friends have pistols in their pockets because they don’t have a false sense of security. I’m worried about you...take care.

Thanks for the answer. I am really scared now. What about taxis?

Are they fine or not :-S.

2 Taxis should be OK, but scared is good if it keeps you alert and promotes situational awareness. Stick with groups of people. You're not in California anymore.

The fact that you asked this question is a good sign. You're sensing that things might be "not what you're used to".

Wonder why they keep conferences in unsafe places :-S beats me.

" "why should the bureau of transportation treat the public of new orleans like ambasadors of new orleans?" "How can the New Orleans Saints be so good one week, yet so bad the next?!

How can the New Orleans Saints be so good one week, yet so bad the next?!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
