I got 4 free tickets from the Veterans foundation and it’s only a 2 1/2 drive so i think I’m going to go. Will be my first game in some time if we decide to go.

How is the stadium and location? Is the Sugar Bowl a fun experience? I’ve been to New Orleans but not for a game. Anyone doing any tailgating?

God gave New Orleans a sign to tear down the Super Dome with Katrina, they were too stupid to understand it as such.

I enjoy the food in NO but I grew up eating it.

My advice, stay in the warehouse district, eat at Mullats, Mother's, Drago's, hit World of Beer and grab a burger at Lucy's. Call it a day.

Lock the frick out of your car.

Dragos has some damn good roasted Oysters. We are now talking about getting a room in Metairie and then Ubering to the game. I assume we can get one home or would we need to get a car service?

Car service lines weren't terrible leaving last year. There is a dragos in the Metairie Hilton.

Go across the causeway to Madisonville and eat at Morton's , old school Cajun seafood and a picturesque Bay town.

Houston has the advantage of being developed much later than NO. Like, hundreds of years later.

That's an advantage,how?

N.O. had a HUGE head start and it has the 2 biggest waterways in our country flowing through them
(Missouri and Mississippi) and opening up to the gulf

Hell,Houston had to dredge 20 miles to get access to the gulf.

Atlanta is an economic miracle compared to NO

Put it this way: NO was the Gulf’s megaport in the 18th and 19th centuries, built to handle raw materials and ag exports.

NO is still a busy port for what it handles. When Katrina shut the terminals down there were a lot of barges idling on the Mississippi, including almost all of this nation’s wheat exports for that season. Enough so that they started building grain elevators on the west coast.

Yea I love Cajun food. I live on the coast here in Pcola so it's kind of meh for me on the scale of what I like to eat nowadays. Im actually allergic to shellfish as well. Food is one of the main things I always enjoy about New Orleans. How is the area around the dome - is it sketch?

The entire state has issues with corrupt officials trying to line their pockets.

Dome is kind of in no Man's Land just outside the quarter and on the edge of the warehouse district. It is largely deserted near it.

100 years from now they’ll still be moving wheat through the port of New Orleans.

Thanks for the rant, hoss. I’m bored as frick with all this negadawg crap and now I wish I had tix to the Sugar Bowl.

I got a gal in Cedartown, Georgia
I used to have to walk nearly three miles to court her
She never had much, just a sharecropper's daughter
But I married her and took her down to New Orleans.

We killed the trout today. I love the fishing here. Great weather for sure. Enjoy your time with the kids at home. Mine are all around the world, though they are here with us now.
