But loud bar scenes and crowds aren't really my thing. Not sure I'd really enjoy it. But what you say about the overall goodness of the people reflects what others have said.Lockwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05960762797349483760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145603139776141256.post-33156378084905913772010-08-30T07:57:39.926-07:002010-08-30T07:57:39.926-07:00The wife and I were in New Orleans a few months ba...The <a href="http://twitter.com/tas33" rel="nofollow">wife</a> and I were in New Orleans a few months back, and will be again in a few weeks. We stuck to the French Quarter, but met quite a few locals. Katrina is still heavy with them, despite "America's own Sodom" not being directly effected.<br /><br />Though we did not see a lot of what happened, it is a bit sadder for me now that I have been there. New Orleans is such a great place, and the locals are really nice. People would talk to me on the street and suggest places to go. Normally in a metropolis I am wary of these types, figuring they want something, but in NOLA they were genuinely interested in you enjoying their city. They surely are not all wonderful people, but the good outweighed the bad, and likely the more obnoxious folks were my fellow tourists.<br /><br />And just because I never tire of saying it, Beck and Palin can go to hell. ;-)Darius Whiteplumehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17950956139088139753noreply@blogger.com
