Like a Sartre play with crawfish
Lived here 20 years, transplant from a dank Midwestern metropolis. For the first 15 years I was pretty much one of those rabid people foaming at the mouth whenever anyone dared critique the city. Then life happened. Job, house, kids, etc. Guess you could say I grew up. And this city ain’t for grownups who like things like stability, good quality of life, taxpayer funded services that actually work…that sorta stuff. This place is a hot miserable swamp half the year and then just plain broken the rest of the time. It’s an endless cycle of the same festivals over and over and the same people with the same ideas waxing poetic about “the good old days”. Like a Sartre play with crawfish.
