French Quarter aka: Vieux Carré

I went here once… The place was filthy and smelled like tobacco and alcohol. The bars looked great, though, even if the environment really doesn’t suit most minors, because there isn’t much of anything to do except shopping and looking at the buildings for us.

I was probably drunk

Despite what some of these entries have to say, I found the French Quarter to be charming, yes after Katrina. The city is very vibrant and definitely still trying to rebuild. The streets are cleaned regularly, but there is a bit of a smell to it. It’s a big city so higher crime rates, homelessness, and parking problems just come with that. Using common sense is all that it takes to be safe here. It’s definitely worth visiting at least once! Just walking down Dauphine St. feels like being in a different country.

I’m going to New Orleans July 31! My job is sending me for a 3 day conference. I’m stoked!

This place is my home away from home. I love it here!
