Review of New Orleans, Louisiana


Not proud to call it home
Star Rating - 1/4/2008
I am a New Orleans native. Before the storm, New Orleans was not one of the best places to live in my opinion. After the storm , the city has gotten worse. Lack of good paying jobs, and crime are the reasons. If I had the money to move to another state, I would have been gone. But I have family here. I am still thinking about moving out of New Orleans, because there is a lot of ignorance here.

I can understand your pain. You've seen it all and lived through it all. One can become jaded. Be let it be known, as much as you are tired of where you live and experienced the hardships, it is truly a city of beauty. Deep down there is no city more beautiful than NOLA. I am a NY'er, coming from a city that had its share crime and filth, diverse, and as cultural as it is, it cannot hold a candle to that lovely town. Remember, those politicians wont be there forever. We never had the corruptness, but we had a Mayor that REALLY cleaned up NY. You will too! People like your gov't officials don't last forever. Bless you.
