New Orleans is one of the few cities in the U.S. that has its own look, feel, smell, and food. I love visiting! Yes, it's filthy and grimy, but still charming!
The smell is a nice mix of piss and Gumbo. I still love it lol.
Charming My Ass!!🤮🤦♂️
Situation. I was coming from Kentwood la going east to bogalusa la. I took a wrong turn ended up on back roads. I came to a crossroad. There was a young black lady cleaning out her car parked on side of road. I stopped at stop sign. She looked at me. I looked at her. Something didnt look right. Why is she cleaning car out in the middle of nowhere. Weird. So i took off towards angie la. I thought she had friends hiding in the woods with guns as to rob me. What if i would have stopped to help her. And they rob me wallet car and cell phone. Or i get out of my car with pistol in my pocket. Then when they come from woods with their guns. Knowing they are gonna rob me. I shoot and kill all of them. Should I report it to the police. Or just take off like nothing ever happened\what do i do. If my prints are not on bullets i could be in the clear. I decided not to be a good citizen and just drove off looking for angie la. I think i made the right choice\ AMERICA IS NOT SAFE😳😳😳
YOU WANT TO BE A GOOD CITIZEN AND HELP OUT WHEN YOU CAN. YOU GOTTA WATCH OUT. FOR SCAMS AND TRAPS. TERRIBLE WHAT ARE USA HAS TURNED INTO\ THE EVIL THAT PEOPLE DO😰😰😰
Smells more of sewer, cannabis and body odor.
I am a native and former resident. I concur with most of your assessment of the city. New Orleans is a great place to visit, however, not the best choice to reside. Enjoy it while you're there! "Laissez les bon temps rouler!!" ⚜️🖤⚜️
"LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL" ! You got it, Cher!!!
That's a lot of the south really.
Laissez les BONS temps rouler. "Les" is plural therefore the adjective "bons" will carry an S. You could say laissez le BON temps rouler. "Le" is singular therefore "bon" will also show the singular form. But the phrase would be weird. Only One Good time? Doesn't sound right of course. Further complication: temps carries an S no matter if it's singular or plural. The "le" or "les" preceding the word define which it is. The verb "LaisseZ" signifies "y'all let" the good times roll as it's heard in N.O. "LaisseR" means "let" the good times roll in general with "pointing at any group or person" in general.
You're forgiven. Almost never do I see this phrase written correctly on a bussiness' sign. If I was to paint a sign in Russian or Greek for example, for the world to see, I would certainly ask a professor or native of these languages how to spell it correctly.
Je veux mes beignets. Les beignets sont où?
Laissez les bons temps rouler mes amis, let the good times roll!
New Orleans was the best trip I've ever had! The food, people, entertainment and tours were all amazing! Just have to be aware of your surroundings.
I'm glad you enjoyed visiting.
Very true but very unfortunate that you need to be aware of your surroundings. You would think they wouldn’t prey on tourist which is their bread and butter but they do.
@@leemarlin9415 Oh stop. Your negative comment is rude bc every major city has crime& bad neighborhoods& a tourist must always be aware of their surroundings. It is true that crime has increased in the downtown areas since Katrina but that is a result of the division deliberately created by the 2 DemPOTUS of this century,their policies to NOT enforce law&order, to hate &never obey police&other law enforcement& the Dem media which is 99% of media in USA which lies both about their opponents & about their allies-the Dems themselves so that Am.ppl are manipulated with whatever narrative that media crafts,eg.vaxx disinformation really comes fm Dem media& current Dem admin&prior leaders of health orgs.since recent pandemic. Now today you see the division widening with loudmouth celebs pushing that disinformation & demanding that any outlet that discusses the facts& truth must be censored to keep ppl in the dark about their health,future& what is really their agenda-which is their conspiracy,that includes censoring all dissent as “conspiracy theory”.. iIt is dangerous to all our survival. .
@@maryb1923 Wow!
Did you even read my post? I agreed with the guy all I said was it was unfortunate they had to stay aware of your surroundings?
Me thanks someone was just looking for an opportunity to rant. Which is OK. Get it out of your system. But be real. You had a whole bunch of people to blame but you didn’t say a thing about the actual source of the behavior. Inner-city culture. That’s the problem. If you wanna know who is ultimately responsible for your behavior look in the mirror.
@@leemarlin9415 Of course. But that is not all that you had posted. You said in a condescending way that one would think they would do more to stem the crime upon their tourists,their bread& butter. That is exactly what my post was addressing& what you so carefully dodged was that specific point. So you just be you& deny reality.
Love New Orleans!
I have had better food and seen more talented entertainment on the sidewalks of New Orleans than expensive venues in other cities.
There you go. Everyone has their thing. The bottom line is, don’t knock what you don’t do.
I've lived in New Orleans for 15 years and the 2 things I love most- 1. You can walk almost anywhere and you often get there faster walking. 2. The architecture- The city is beautiful and that never gets old.
New Orleans with its amazing architecture is an outdoor museum!
Thank God you live there and I don’t! Me trying to like New Orleans is like me trying to become a Professional Singer. It’s never gonna happen!😂
@@boogitybear2283 so what great city do you reside in? Folk always post their negative comments but never state where they reside. You know why? Because their location can also be picked apart. Try it.
Sadly, there are few places to hear jazz in New Orleans. The French Quarter has basically become just a place for folks from Pig's Knuckle Junction to get wasted and buy a t-shirt. Clubs like those owned by Pete Fountain and Al Hirt are long gone.
Yes! In new orleans I walked everywhere
I’ve worked in NOLA for 24 years and lived on the other side of Lake Pontchartrain. Many friends live in the city and half our activities are there. Despite its crime and trash, the city is infinitely charming, being the most European looking U.S. city. It is a city like no other with the best food in the country. To those that don’t know, the food in NOLA is Creole, not Cajun. That’s south central and southwest Louisiana.
I can't wait to go to New Orleans !!
Thanks for pointing out the good things about NOLA in this video. I'm a musician and have played the French Quarter, There's so much music history there you can feel it in the vibes when you're there. Like any city there are some bad neighborhoods but New Orleans has so much culture to offer everyone should go there for at least one visit.
I grew up on the Westbank of New Orleans in Algiers Point, which is a ferry ride across from downtown New Orleans. We had three movie theaters' numerous playgrounds. Two public swimming pools, many Mom & Pop stores. Numerous places of worship, AKA churches, and it had two railroad yards.
I lived there in 08 it must have lost a lot of stores actually I lived in the house next to the old bank on top a house for a few months but anyways crime was getting bad there
I used to live in the Ficsher
@Savage Scientist Programming Wow, I had two friends that lived there also.
Yeah Algiers is a lot different now a days
Still on the Westbank and it has gone to complete shit compared to previous Katrina. There is nothing to do and it'd the slums. I'm ready to go. The feeling is gone and it almost feels like a dead end smh. Sad because this place used to be great.
I visit New Orleans back in may and it’s very different than the rest of Louisiana it’s not that religion all. It’s history, music, food, nightlife, and more.
In 1814, we took a little trip
Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip'
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans
And we caught the bloody British in the town of New Orleans
Yay! So happy someone else had that song running through their head!
I wish you would have mentioned the Cajun-Creoles of Louisiana when talking about our population, our history, and our food. We are the native Latin French people of the State of Louisiana- a very warm, hospitable, and happy people who understand la joie de vivre, the joy of living.
Mentioning macaroni and cheese and chicken is good and all, but these aren't anything special compared to what you can find anywhere else. In Louisiana, we shine in our gumbo (I indeed love me some duck & andouille sausage gumbo), crawfish étouffé, sauce piquant, jambalaya, tarte à la bouillie, boudin, & so much more. We have the keys to rich, delicious, Cajun-Creole food and we make these dishes with love & passion.
I wish you mentioned some of the top times to come for our celebrations- Mardi Gras, Halloween & la Toussaint, and of course, the New Year. All in all, this video is a generally good comprehension of the city of New Orleans here in the State of Louisiana, I guarantee it.
We love New Orleans, it’s an amazing city. So much history, lots to see and do. If you get a chance go and spend at least a week. Be sure to go to the WWII museum, it’s awesome!
New Orleans is an interesting city. Had my family reunion there 5 years ago, and it was on point. Never knew how huge the MS River was until I saw it in person at the Riverwalk.
We went a few weeks back for a comic con. The con was disappointing but New Orleans is still the same old New Orleans. Great places to eat on every corner, Bourbon street was busy, and still so much to do in the city. World War 2 museum is amazing.
It's my 2nd favorite US city. I've visited 5 times but not since the pandemic. It was a bit more rundown the last time but I am rooting for it to return to its glory.
I've been to New Orleans a couple of times and have very fond memories of my visits. I was there on business with several other folks and we had a week-end there and one of the folks who lived in New Orleans took it upon himself to give us a tour and show us around, taking us to his favorite restaurants, etc. It was wonderful. He was such a nice guy!! But, I agree with Briggs. It's a great city to visit, but (for a variety of reasons), it isn't somewhere I'd want to live. Just my own personal preferences. But many of the people who live there really love it.
Yes,it is great place to live but all the bad stuff is due to a dumb population that keeps voting in corrupt Democrats into political power who then appoint corrupt leaders in important positions like police commissioner,police chief, IG,etc. That includes corrupt Democrat DAs elected too . The city has continued to decline since 1872 which is when the last Republican mayor was elected. There were many good Democrat mayors in those years but that party has put up only very compromised& corrupt politicians for the last several decades going into the latter part of 20th century. It is truly insane bc the ppl stubbornly repeat the exact same voting choices hoping for something better while never really getting anything better but only worse. Many thought Katrina was a perfect time to start anew& it seemed to have gotten more corrupt Dems who aren’t even native to the city like the current mayor. We have had mayors in jail recently,city councilmen in jail& district attorneys in jail,police in jail& it repeats every election cycle but the only change in leadership to occur will be when the ppl wake up& stop being so lazy& demand better.
The ww2 museum was really down played in this video it is amazing . He also failed to mention the great festivals with jazz and French quarter being the best . While crime does happen here it happens every where . It is out of control right now it is that way in all the cities .
Crime is through the roof there and unless you are in a gated community, you aren’t safe.
That's so sad!
@@abueloraton it’s true I lived there in the mid 90s
You are so right!! I live in New Orleans and have been looking for a gated community. I don’t think there are many here though. The city just isn’t that safe.
@@stephanieclaire2569 no I lived there for 3 years. Almost everyone gets held up with a gun eventually
Hey briggs , it would be cool if you did top 10 most boring states .
Iowa would make it, there's nothing to do here.
@@clemfandango5886 Georgia is BORING
@@Iamhimbutyouarenot Dude I live in Amsterdam (the Netherlands) and would change my residence with you. Georgia is such a pretty state, you have Savannah and Atlanta + pretty beaches when you get closer to Florida. Y’all are lucky
I'm originally from Slidell, aka, The Northshore. Decided to move away when I turned 23. I truly miss the food & swamps (yes, I said swamps. They are absolutely beautiful!!!) but other than that I personally could never imagine having to live there again. I highly recommend visiting New Orleans because it's very fascinating. Great history!
Yes the swamp smell is addicting
I still live in Slidell, and in today's climate I feel very blessed to live here... I'm from NOLA, but I really love Slidell... I live across from Slidell High... But I used to live in the Swamp too in River Gardens... They just caught an alligator at Slidell High😂😂😂
@@fdddsigns7274 WOW! That brought back memories. I graduated from Slidell High in 1991. I'm familiar with your neighborhood. It's very nice. I'll probably visit family in Slidell in the fall. They're near Honey Island Swamp which of course I'll be spending a lot of time hanging out there. Love it!:)
Old closets and old furniture in the old homes now open to the public still have scribblings and graffiti written in French. Fantastic, rich culture. And the food is excellent everywhere in there.
Admittedly, I've not been to New Orleans in a long time, but I can say..it is without doubt among my all time
Favorites !! The Food, The Music, The Architecture and The People are amazing and Wonderful..Wonderful Memories would gladly go back. ....now I'll stop typing....
Thanks! Great stuff, as usual. Appreciate your work!
Among the famous New Orleans residents you missed was Paul Morphy, widely considered to be the first world's chess champion. He was called the Pride and Sorrow of chess because he, like Bobby Fisher a century later, gave up on chess while at his peak and became a recluse.
Hurricane Katrina did not directly flood the City of New Orleans; defects in the city’s hurricane protection system was responsible for the flooding and subsequent damage. Since that event, the hurricane protection system has been greatly improved via the investment of billions of dollars. Great American City!
The French Quarter, le Vieux Carré, did not flood as it is slightly higher (where the original development of the city was established) than many other areas of N.O. lost electricity, but party were still going on for those able put up with the heat and himidity. Many areas did flood horribly. Others flooded to a lesser degree, all the way to Metairie but, I believe, not the west bank.
Many black people I know say that they heard explosives blow up the canals as surge water from Lake Pontchetrain was heading toward the French quarter. The decision was made to protect the quarter to he detriment of the wards. I later corroborated this with a city engineer I knew after a few drinks. There is a video idea for Briggs.
Too late to stop climate change. NO is all done.
@@MaxWhiteArabiLouisiana while this is true, it’s also true that they blew them levees.
America still beautiful
America still ok
just Be positive
Look at the beautiful side🇺🇸
Lots of information, thanks for this one. Seems like a great place to visit, but not live.
Thanks for doing a good video on NOLA. Most creators pick out all of the negative things there are about the area. The people are amazing. The fishing is exceptional. The food… need I say more?!
Hello there how are you doing today
Fishing? Yeah but can you eat the catch? Big oil has really f***ed much of the gulf, and I am no environmentalist, that's just the way it is
@@Gertieness if you won’t eat fish out of the Gulf you better not eat fish out of the pacific or Atlantic, or any ocean/ sea for that matter. 🤷🏼♀️
I live one block from "Piece of Meat" here in New Orleans and I definitely concur. Overall this is an amazing city. It has it's pros and cons. It is a great city for bicycling and the "Blue Bikes" bikeshare is back and running so you can rent a bicycle and tour the city. Also Dixie Beer now Faubourg is back in a lil' nook in New Orleans East off Jourdan Road. Live music on the weekend. There's so much to see and do. Many of the streets are pothole laden and like being on the moon in areas where tourists don't go. But it's a great city. Currently there is an indoor mask mandate and you must show proof of vaccination or a negative covid test to get into bars, restaurants, event venues and such in the city of New Orleans. The mandates will be in effect at least till the end of carnival season this year which is 1 March. They could be extended or lifted after depending on the situation. Anyway there's too much to get into just to explain everything so just come, be streetwise and don't go off the beaten path. And if someone says: "Bet I know where you got dem shoes" It's a ploy so they can polish your shoes and claim you owe them. The answer is always: "On ya feet!" Don't engage with them just mind yourself and you'll be fine.
We watched the fireworks on NYE in NOLA (2021-2022) 🎆! The city was awesome! We only met hospitable people during our 7-day stay there; not one single rude person like you’ll expect in NYC or LA! WWII Museum and the cemeteries are must stops! We attended Sunday service at St. Louis Cathedral and it was magical! On the opposite side of spectrum? The Vampire Cafe and dinner at Muriel’s’s are a must, too! The dirt and smell on some parts of the city are probably left by the rowdy tourists, and they’re not everywhere. Yes, the city could invest more on maintaining its cleanliness, but, I saw that they try! We talked with some business owners and they said if you can own a thriving business there, it’s not a bad place to be! The food and culture are amazing! They can handle occasional low grade hurricanes as they consider it as washing the old, but, they don’t wish for life destroying ones! Worth your visit folks! Let’s support the wonderful people of NOLA! Black and Gold 🖤⚜️💛
I would luv to go visit New Orleans one day it still seem like an interesting place .
Just stay away in July and August. Heat and humidity are oppressive. September is month with most hurricanes. I suggest May or October. Mardi gras is usually February or early March. Could be cold, hot or warm. You never know. Just stay on well trodden and well lit areas. Don't go walking alone (even 2 people might be iffy - 3 or 4 is better) at night anywhere even in the French Quarter. Don't carry a purse or a wallet, and give them up if threatened. Watch out for swindlers accosting you to distract you, asking baiting questions, and pickpockets.
I live in north Louisiana, but when it's time to have a blast, I head to New Orleans. EVERYONE should experience NOLA at least once. You won't regret it.
As a fellow Louisiana resident I disagree. I’ve been to New Orleans a few times. Definitely won’t do it again. And pretty much regret most of the trips except for one. Even that one I was ready to get the hell out of there. Definitely nicer places to visit. Then a disgusting city with a bunch of idiot drunks.
I don't do city life, but N.O. is the only city in America I'd consider moving to, yeah it's the music & food, but as stated, the people are great, and the overall attitude in even better...and admittedly I have an addiction to their mint snowballs😉
I love these What's Up videos.
Love the new format. Been watching you channel for a few years now and I like the idea of a mix video not all bad not all the good stuff; makes for a less clickbaity video
New Orleans has a pretty good zoo, some huge parks, and a very good aquarium. The neighborhood bar scene is outstanding and there is great food everywhere. And of course there is also music everywhere. It's a great town that we try to visit at least once a month from down the road in Mississippi.
the zoo is great, just too small
Can't forget about city park and the art museum
The Garden District is one of the best communities in New Orleans. The Mannings were born there. Most of the Mardi Gras is on Canal Street not Bourbon Street although most people will end up on Bourbon Street. New Orleans was France's throw away city dumping many criminals into the area possibly to kill off the Natives, who were mosty Houma and Natchez and Choctaw. It's similar to England sending their criminals to Australia. Worst parts of the city is wards, the 9th and 13th. Algiers project on the West Bank is bad. My rule of thumb about the city and staying safe is; stay with the crowd and have plenty of friends. Ruth Steak house is good and a place called Nacho Mommas. Yes, there is such a place and the line getting in come take awhile. I think the city will heal after the hurricane and covid but may take away. One last thing, many people consider the Jazz and Heritage Festival is getting better than Mardi Gras. It's in late spring, April or May.
Most of Mardi Gras is on Canal? False you must not be a local. The parade routes are on St Charles the majority of the time.
My 25 year old daughter and her boyfriend visited there last year. She said it was an awesome experience, the food was good, but she didn't anticipate it being as rundown as it was, and that there was a lot of sketchy people, and giant bugs.She said parts of it were a real s*** hole, and that she would never go back.
She isn’t wrong at all.
Shit hole areas exist in EVERY big cities. Los Angeles, New York, Houston, D.C. with all the richess in those cities have high crime and destitute areas. If you're wealthy, life in any US state or city (or any other country I would imagine) is easy. But for the bottom of the pool, the US is not the best place to live. N.O. has its share of both but probably more of the second kind or at least a great share of struggling families.
Jen, your daughter is very astute. It is an absolutely s* hole and bourbon street is a depressing, dirty satan-strip filled with dirt. Lets just say that the Holy Ghost would not go near this town, which is fine for awhile, but you end up missing Him. Maybe your daughter could try Charleston. Much more charming.
@@danyelledodd933 Agree.
@@bbooth1229 Cops are notoriously dishonest, like south America bad. Muggins during Mardi Gras. Take your scuba diving equipment you will need it in the next big rain. Oh yeah, and its in LA., the Yemen of the US. Can't wait to move there. NOT. We got LA. refugees after the hurricane. Horible entitled lazy people. Could'nt wait for them to leave and they felt the same way.
Johnny Horton made some music referencing this very thing.
Wow. Briggs did a positive video about New Orleans?!! I remember the last video you did about New Orleans, you said everyone there smelled like bacon. lol
This is the video i've been waiting for. Thank you for this one♥️
Great info - thanks for another quality vid! Just a quick observation I thought was ironic: You mentioned you wouldn’t want to live in NO due to several factors, crime being a major one. With you living in Portland, OR, I thought that was interesting. NO must be a lot worse than Portland these days if you can find the crime there tolerable. My sister recently drove up the west coast on her way to Seattle and passed thru Portland - she told me it was such a miserable sh&t hole of a city, she couldn’t wait to get out of there. Mind you, she’s also been to New Orleans and loved it. So, this one confused me a bit - who’s right? Loved all the info, however, would love to visit NO myself soon. Portland, not so much. 😆
I was stationed at the naval support activity on the Westbank for 5 years! I absolutely love this city and I miss it! Excellent video and it made me want to get in my car and take a trip down there! And being a musician it was like an education! So many greats!
It is that time again let's roll it...🎬

True story….happened to me just like that
Please do your due diligence on researching a place before posting a video like this. How do you miss Louis Armstrong who even has a park named after him in New Orleans? No mention of the gorgeous City Park??? You glazed over all the interesting neighborhoods and didn’t even have enough time to list ONE single restaurant or food stop that has food that’s native to NOLA. C’mon man! Nice video quality but content is seriously slacking. Next time try putting some personality into it instead of being afraid of being wrong vs listing stats that don’t effect your average person.
I find New Orleans a very interesting place to visit. Go on the scary night tours. It's awesome.
I love your vids and subscribed and that is why I saw this. I have lived here most of my life and never heard of the places you talked about. West of the French Quarter is the Wearhouse District and a little further is the Garden District. You said "Old Aurora", must be around Terry Town, but that is the West Bank and not New Orleans proper. $350,000 for homes Hahaha are you kidding me. Unlike other places in the country, you can live 40-50 miles away and still work inside New Orleans. I live on the North Shore and housing here is around $150,000.
Maybe in Slidell, but not Covington or Mandeville.
THANK YOU!!! My favorite City in the world!!
Say what? Ever been to Europe?
@@pourquoipas2673 Nope, haven't even been outside the Southern United States sadly. One day though. I recognize the stunning beauty of most of Europe, but I feel a different connection with New Orleans as the culture there is apart of mine (I'm Cajun and Louisiana Creole).
That being said I haven't actually been though, just Baton Rouge, Plaquemine, Lafayette, and Lake Charles.
Actor/former NFL and CFL player Carl Weathers (aka Apollo Creed) is from New Orleans.
People displaced by Katrina are the ones moving back. I love New Orleans. I've only been a few times but just the feeling and the scent in the air is comforting to me.
I never want to leave Louisiana... I live far enough away from NO to avoid crime, and love the ability to go in and out of the city at will. The people are the best! They can cook survive with nothing- give and share with what little they have. They invented the word party! Those old homes are beautiful. They do have one rule... if a cajun is your friend - they your friend for life. If they not your friend... don't go fishing with him.
Exactly.. I live in bogalusa..far enough away but close enough.
Mrs o’pry we’re not Cajun here
@@eazymoney2789 you are correct..creoles are NO cajuns are rural and west of y'all.
@@Boga217 thanks I just cringe when they refer to us as that.
@@eazymoney2789 your welcome
First of all,you spelled Orleans wrong.
Ask your white brethrens what happened to New Orleans.
In 2005 white racist city planners blew up the levees for the sole purpose of suppressing the Black population. They drowned black children and displaced black families,simultaneously exploiting the black culture,black speech patterns,Black history etc.
Nevertheless,you have an abundance of Black locals that decided to come back to the city and trying to preserved the Black culture. The Black Ancestors are very angry at what those white racist did in 2005 and their getting their revenge every day.
What the heck ...you mention Lil Wayne (who I actually do like) but miss Louis Armstrong? Dude is literally a legend. What's Up with that?
IBM has its office in Baton Rouge, i work there. but the biggest issue with New Orleans is it needs regional support if the city can come together with its Neighbors Gulfport and Baton Rouge it would have a combined MSA of 3.1 million residents and then it would be able to compete with Atlanta and Houston, Just New Orleans and Baton Rouge would have a CMSA of 2.6 million
YO BRIGGS. YOU SHOULD DO A VIDEO ON SAN BERNARDINO CA. I LIVED THERE FOR 28 YRS SO I'VE SEEN IT ALL. POVERTY CRIME HOMELESS HOOKERS TENTS ON THE SIDEWALKS TRASH IN STREETS HIGH WINDS STORMS EARTHQUAKES EXCESSIVE HEAT\ WOW WHAT A CITY. YOUR VIDEO COULD LAST ALL DAY😁😁😁

Southern Comfort is from New Orleans🥰
NO is a great place to visit, and I always go to The Gumbo Shop for dinner. I hope they are still open.
Gumbo Shop is still there. Their white bean soup and gumbo z’herbes are fantastic.
You write an article on New Orleans but don’t know anything about the food scene? Hello
Cheapest decent house in Old Aurora is $285,000.
So basically Central City should be evacuated and the Army should be sent in?
Looks fun.....my son DANIEL went there in 2017!
You didn’t mention the probability of Algiers will be destroyed by flooding. The Mississippi will move.
Hey Briggs, You forgot one thing. When Katrina hit New Orleans, and Rita hit Lake Charles in 2005. Insurance companies shut their doors to home insurancers. I know I lived in Louisiana for 10 years and was finally up rooted to move out of state.
And now with Ida which did enormous damages in Louisiana, insurance rates may double and deductible will go up. Went from $500 deductible for a good policy to 6% of the value of your home after Katrina. Out of reach for a majority of the people.
They got tired of covering Florida losses too. I hear homeowners insurance there costs $20,000 and up. Then of course you probably have to have a flood policy which will be expensive. The state can pick that up. Why should the US taxpayer pay for people to live in flood areas. Some of them are rich.
Been here all my life
When visiting new Orleans you are totally on your own bring your bodyguard
Great city,love Nola.
I am a native of "Nawlins." Unlike a lot of people from there, I've traveled all over the world and visited after a year here or year there. It is harder to see the changes in a city when you live there until those changes become extreme. Serving in the military, I've seen the changes coming not living there all the time. I've watched the city I grew up in and loved change over time. I've watched as the people of New Orleans knowingly elect one crooked mayor after another. I've watched and heard from my family (three in law enforcement) the crime go up so badly and the police payroll stay the lowest paid metro PD in the nation. The corruption grew, and along with it, everything bad about the city got worse. The greatest part of the city was and has always been 1st and foremost the people followed by our rich sense of history. With the crime out of control ever since the late 80's more and more of the "people of Nawlins" moved to safety across the lake to the North Shore. By the mid 2000's, so many people had left the city for the North Shore. So much that the population on the North Shore had grown 50 thousand in just a few years. In that same time, there was a large influx of people from other areas of the country. With them they brought their own ideas, values and beliefs. Over time, much of what was really Nawlins was lost. Historical landmarks were brought down, streets renamed, policies that would have caused a mayor to be physically removed 30 years ago were not only adopted but willingly. I know, everything changes. But Nawlins was always a hold out. It always resisted the world's pressure to change. That was one of the things people loved about the city. It was unapologetically Nawlins and no one gave a damn if the rest of the world approved. That city and people are no longer in existence. It has literally become ever other major city; politically correct, crime ridden, completely controlled by a crooked government and sensored. Visitors generally can't see that because they never lived there when it WAS Nawlins. I miss my hometown. I know it will never return. But I do remember with great fondness of what it was like when 6 generations of families were running businesses. When Nawlins tradition trumped anything else happening in the world. When even the crooked politicians knew not to screw with those traditions. When our history wasn't "white, black, Civil War or racial history. It was OUR history and whether you were white, black, tan, green or blue.......you didn't screw with our history, our beliefs, and especially our sense of freedom and fun. I am retired Army and combat veteran and I do not go into the city willingly. Almost all of my family has left the city. It is just too dangerous. I have family members and many childhood friends who were law enforcement in and around Nawlins. They have moved away due to the crime and policies in the city. Currently, it is actual police policy NOT to rush into a crime scene. The current DA will not prosecute most crime and the PD is no longer willing to lose a life for a criminal that either will be immediately set free or be released in a few weeks. It is taking hours and even weeks for police to arrive and investigate crime. A month ago, a friend called the police because every car on their block had the windows smashed in and broken into. The NOPD officers got there 3 weeks later to investigate. You can actually check these facts. Spend your money in the smaller towns in La, you'll find much more of what used to be Nawlins in those small town than you will ever find in today's New Orleans.
In all my time here I have never heard a native New Orleanian seriously use the word Nawlins, let alone repeatedly. Just sayin.
Great place to visit, but don't just stay in New Orleans. Get out in the countryside. You can sign up at most hotels for a swamp tour and see some wildlife, or take a tour of one of the antebellum plantations.
I guess Im the metal music guy for World According to Briggs so here it is. There is a metal music scene in the New Orleans area consisting of Down, Superjoint Ritual(Phil Anselmo ex vocalist of Pantera is vocalist of these two bands as well as others), Exhorder, Crowbar and more. The last two bands I mentioned along with Eyehategod are mainstays of the subgenre Sludge Metal which is a combination of Doom Metal and punk.
I was blessed enough to call the French Quarter home for 2.5 years. Just left last year to explore a new frontier, but I'd definitely consider living there again the future.
Great video! I was there for a visit back in August 2021, and that was nearly a big mistake cause just 4 days after I left Hurricane Ida struck. I spent time with 5 relatives during my 2-day visit. One served as my tour guide in the French Quarter and Canal Street. The food was definitely worth part of the trip, but to be honest I didn't have any fun since arcade outings and theme park outings are my idea of fun, but it was definitely an interesting experience.
And thank you so much for pronouncing it correctly and not how it’s spelled😭❤️
Sad to think how many outstanding musicians live and play there - none of whom will never get the fame (and compensation) they deserve.
I was born and raised in New Orleans. The sports fans are truly FANATICAL. When the Saints were formed, for the first few years they hardly won a game, but the stands were always full (although a lot of the fans wore bags over their heads, with eyeholes cut out, so they wouldn't be recognized by anyone that knew them). But they supported their Saints!
I love New Orleans! It's gorgeous. I love that it's held on to its roots. A lot of it is old. The history of it seems alive. Best food! Friendly people! We got warned by locals about the street cons. And yes, we met them. One was so charming we paid him anyway. We saw lots of homeless too, which was sad. The smell of Bourbon St is awful. This mix of bleach, vomit and mold. It reeked so bad, I used the smell as a directional point.
We spent 2 wks there walking the city.
Hello Kristas,how are you doing today
I usually find that the nicer areas in cities are more concentrated with fitness centers, gyms and nutrition stores! This is my way of knowing the nicer areas lol!
My cheesy little small rural town has two 24 hour fitness centers with another one a few miles away. I don't know how they stay open but they do. Its not a ritsy area. Kinda old folks retirement. They keep trying nutrition stores but they don't last long. The guy selling Trump shit has been here since 2016. Lots of trailer sales. Restaurants do pretty well. Someone just opened another coffee shop. Don't know how they make it selling cups of coffee. Starbucks is 20 miles away.
Aka demographics
I lived just outside Nawlins for awhile when I was a kid. It was humid and hot. I love heat so I was OK with it. I also had a part Cajun girlfriend at the time, and she was awesome!
NOLA girl 4 life...home sweet home.❤
A great place to be from. And the chicory coffee ☕ is to die for 🤢
Used to go there every year for work conference, but then they stopped because too many of our employees got mugged or arrested or just general trouble. I miss it. Particularly the live music
Yeah! Got arrested for acting stupid. Just because you're in N.O. where you can drink in the streets and you're away from the Bible belt doesn't mean you can get all crazy. There is a noticeable police presence in the Quarter.
Its a great place to get Gonareah and a hangover
@@bbooth1229 And rousted by the Rozzers.
Could you do a video like this on Huntsville, AL? I want to move there due to its recent status as the 3rd best place to live in the US and proximity to my family. I know it has undergone a lot of changes recently and people are flocking there due to low cost of living and higher than average income. Thanks!!
The architecture of the French Quarter was cool
Café 615 Home of the wabbit in Gretna just across the bridge. Food is amazing and prices are VERY reasonable for the area!
