Because New Orleans is not a very good city to visit.

Drunk Latoya is the most entertaining Latoya when she is in a fight at the bar.

I'm not sure which of you who have actually been to New Orleans lately, but it is a crime ridden shite hole that smells like piss or weed everywhere you go.


Was there about a month ago.

Garden District is still nice and offers way better food options than Nashville could ever dream.

No less likely than anywhere in Louisiana.


It's been held in Baton Rouge (twice).

St. Louis hosted in 2018, New Orleans has hosted multiple times.

Yeah. What a dump.

99% of crime is in 1% of inner city-drug areas, not downtown, French Quarter or tourism areas.

New Orleans:
French Quarter
World War II Museum - ranked #5 in world
World class restaurants, tourist attractions, hotels
Superdome
Finest food in the world.
Lakefront, Mid-City, Garden District, Uptown, University, Audubon, Fauborg Marigny, Bywater, Lakeview, West End
City Park - larger than Central Park
World class golf courses, Audubon Zoo, Mississippi Riverboat tours, French Quarter tours.
Centuries old historic buildings and architecture

And 99% of crime is in 1% of inner city areas.

And Columbia? Of course there's nooooooo problems there right ????

I see. So when YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU visit New Orleans, the very FIRST thing you say to the taxi or uber driver is: 'Noooo, don't take me to my downtown or French Quarter hotel, take me to the inner city gang areas away from the tourists so I can do a drug deal.'

YOUUUU showing up. You showing up at the airport and, instead of asking the taxi to take you to your downtown or French Quarter hotel, you want to do directly to an inner city gang area away from the tourists to do a drug deal.
So there's that.

Nola also genuinely doesn't seem to give much of a collective shite about LSU.


Once you peel away the wal mart bama fans (who are about to become UGA fans now Saban is gone) there is plenty of LSU support.

N.O Murder Map

Looks like that 1% data may be incorrect. 6 murders in the French Quarter alone in 2023, such a nice place.

Where are you looking on the map??????????? If you click on that link and zoom in on the French Quarter (the light area where it clearly says "FRENCH QUARTER"), it shows 2, not 6.

And if you read the entire story, it shows crime and murders in the Quarter and in the city are way down from last year.

Also, when there IS a murder or a shooting in the Quarter, it is very big news, because it almost never happens. And being that MILLIONS of people visit the Quarter every year, yes, it IS safe. Tourist murders don't really ever happen.

So i guess by the map Canal is not considered the Quarter or Kerlerec, even though Bourbon dead ends into both. And to say murders are down is true, yall should be proud since New Orleans ranks # 8 in the world in cities with 300,000 or more residents.

Memphis would be more central and maybe safer.
