It's pretty funny. Every movie that depicts Louisiana shows the three blocks that include Bourbon Street/ the French Quarter. It looks beautiful, but the surrounding mile is the ghetto in each direction. I remember when one of the locals tried to sexual assault me when I was looking for marijuana; it's hard sometimes, but I try not to miss it.
I also remember the time that my mom would go 20 minutes out of her way to work to avoid the interstate. Gang members were shooting motorists as part of their initiation. They eventually moved on to attacking homeless people, so she at least had that to be grateful for. It saved her time on her commute.
...aside from that, there is beautiful architecture. I think everyone should pay New Orleans a visit.
