I visited there in March 2014 - such a fascinating city!

I'm from New Orleans and was a 14-yo high school student there in 1980. Highlights for me were getting mugged by thugs on the way home from school, and the Saints going 1-15 (with the "Aints" bagheads and all)

In June 1981 on a family vacation westward bound back to California on I-10 freeway.
This 16 year old ask his parent to stop by the city New Orleans, Louisiana as we were approaching the city's outskirt. My mom said 'it's like another Oakland, California scenario' at the time. Simply 'Nada"!

My city!!!!

[@SheSweetLikSugarNSavage]

I go look at old youtube videos from other states in the U.S. from the 70's and 80's; and they look ghastly, horrible and just a terrible life. 😭 Then I come back home to videos of the South, of Louisiana, or Texas and it's a completely different world. the kind of world that I remember, we didn't have such property as in New York and Chicago. I remember my childhood in Louisiana being rich, and full of life, and full of culture, good food, music, art, and tradition. I guess that's why I never left Louisiana😂... the rest of the world looks just plain sad😂
