I'll be there in February for a conference. Great food and great music can be found all over. As msfzoe stated, "Maintain situational awareness at all times." Chuck Life's tough...tougher if you're stupid (AKA "cwr" on SIGforum [email account issues]) | |||

These I found worthy: Po' Boys, horse-drawn carriage tour of Garden District, the cemetery and coffee with beignets. *************************** Knowing more by accident than on purpose. | |||

World class food unlike anywhere on Earth, lots of good music. | |||

Lived there for 4 years from 1967 to 1971. All I remember is heat, humidity, and strippers on Bourbon Street. ****************************************************************************** Never shoot a large caliber man with a small caliber bullet . . . | |||

Be sure to eat a muffaletta and a po-boy while there. The muffaletta sandwich is a NOLA thing. Take one with you on your return flight; it travels well. | |||

It was a shit hole when I went there in 94, it was a shithole when I was there for the oil spill, and several other times, and I'm sure it's still a shithole now...there were nice places to go-ask a local... just skip Bourbon...you can go get drunk anywhere; and it always smells like piss... (I've been all over the world and seen shitholes-trust me, NO ranks up there with the best) "Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor.” Robert A.

On the off chance that the info about New Orleans is still useful, I will share this which I got on the Dixieland Jazz mail reflector, responding to an inquiry about venues for a Monday-Tuesday visit.
Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||
