"You've never seen so many drunk librarians in your life." SOLD.

[VincenzoP81]

As a New Orleanian I like this video a lot... but BRO, puh-leeeeeze don't pull the whole "you had better visit the city now before it gets destroyed" bit. It just seems so... unecessary.

[nolahoff]

@VincenzoP81, exactly, wtf was that comment all about?

[Cherilnc]

Beautiful city. I can't wait to go back for another visit. My next short story will be set in New Orleans.

[Audiomuse]

I want to visit New Orleans and eat some of the great food they have down there

[DizzyCaj]

Great video and that's from me, a New Orleans resident since 1962 and Louisiana resident from birth. Great video but one thing is WRONG! New Orleans is nowhere near as far south as one can go geographically in the USA. The MOST geographically south are Brownsville, TX (continental USA) and Key West, FL (island off the continental USA).

[Angel7black]

i'll never understand how a city as small as new orleans can be one of the most vibrant cities an america. few cities have as much heart and soul as New Orleans.... very few

[Flgaljane]

Great city, great food, great architecture, great music ... there's only one N'awlins!

[melissarose8585]

@Flgaljane Isn't that the truth! As soon as you leave you're ready to go back!

[Stormraider1000]

Nice and beautifull city new orleans i will go there and make some holiday :P

[LizaLaChatte]

New Orleans... what a city!!! I've been there twice and it blows me away... something about that city that touches your soul... can't wait to go there again.

[im4florida]

THUMBS UP IF UR FROM/LIVE IN NOLA!!!!

WHODAT?!?!?!

[JohnRhysMusician]

New Orleans is not the southern most point in the United States. Key West is the furthest south.

[moeorleanz]

@JohnRhysMusician u stupid fuck new orleans is more south than key west

[JohnRhysMusician]

@moeorleanz Look at a map. Most of Florida is south of the entire state of Louisiana.

[moeorleanz]

@JohnRhysMusician OMG go back to school! Keys are far east. Might look far south but n.o. is more south. US is on a slant.

[JohnRhysMusician]

@moeorleanz NOLA is not even the southern most point in Louisiana. Key West is the southernmost incorporated municipality in the United States. Texas, Florida, and Hawaii have points more southern than the entire state of Louisiana.

[moeorleanz]

@JohnRhysMusician man look hea, n.o. mo southern than Australia ok/

[JohnRhysMusician]

@moeorleanz Oh. Ok I see your are a joke.

[im4florida]

@JohnRhysMusiciani kno, venice/grand isle i think is the southern most point in LA

[rodnola]

They're not "cast iron" balconies dude, they're "wrought iron." That's a big detail that I learned at Newman (New Orleans private school) in the 3rd grade.

[MrGDiniz]

I've been there in Y2K.. Greatest moment I ever had. Love N.O.

[CapitanoGUC]

new orleans is under whater ...:-D

[fyfofoyfyo]

what i dont get is why they dont build the city like paris, hurricanes cant do much to a city like that, atleast have window shuters

[skycibul]

I can't wait to move away from this piece of shit city.

[Stargirl4505]

Best city in the world. New Orleans won't give up, because of a hurricane either talker person. Best city ever.

[blv090]

Some of the best food i have ever had was in New Orleans

[birdwell2427]

i would love to visit new orleans the food the music everything

[carolinagrl8]

Who Dat!

[ashantifan1224]

HOME. BEST PLACE ON EARTH. I loved your vid, except for the comment at the end..

[mlballs]

Its really a great place my mom helps run the tourist industry in New Orleans. If you got kids might wana stay off of Bourbon, if ur in college and like having a good time that street will probably end up being your bed.

[TheXRealXBrapp]

left 4 dead 2 is actually really accurate.

[xXThatOneSkaterKidXx]

Oh Shit I Saw That Old Guy Playing Those Crystal Glasses At 0:49!

It Was In The French Quarter.

I Was Born In Raised In New Orleans Too joceeco.

[joceeco]

I was born and raised in Baton Rouge, which is right up the Hwy from N.O. I spent all of my summers in N.O. with my Godmother, who made me go to Bible school every summer. After Bible school, I would go down to the French Quarter to watch the ladies dance and show off their goodies. The next day I'd return to Bible school to repent. I've lived in the S.F. Bay Area CA and Munich, Germany, but no place is quite like N'awlins. Best City in America.

[babbacadabra]

@joceeco Just went there for the first time and fell in love !

[loquatiousbadger]

@joceeco

That's one good thing going for Christianity...you can sin all you want but repentance is always available. If I'd known that BEFORE...I'd be a Catholic by now. *hehe* But seriously....that sounds like fun.

[rickenzuela]

i want to go soooo bad!

[jeffkodiac]

i'm french and i'd like to visit one day this beautiful city

[tapoculos]

[SunSin1000]

how much money was spent on the rebuilding of New Orleans I haven't heard any numbers.I mean the temp housing and hotels and what not?.

[biglu30]

my stepdad is from there. its not N'awlins. people hear the accent and exaggerate it

[Baker504]

That's right !! There is only one New Orleans!! Not another city Like it!!!

[fragilec]

"drunk librarians"  priceless, I love New Orleans!

[PearlJammer07]

Never been here. I have heard quite a bit about it.

[hoh8511no]

good vid. five stars.

[extra420delicious]

Great. Until the comment about another hurricane and "missing your chance". New Orleans will always be here even if it's a couple of party barges tied together.

[420thedude420]

WTF people. I've lived in New Orleans all my life, I don't say N'awlins. WTF?!

[disturbed1199]

well i am from nawlins and let me tell you i hope we don't get another damn katrina.  and yes we live to eat not eat to live.i love my city

[WhitneyGetz]

Do tell, do tell...

[spiritslain]

CAIRO, EGYPT (ANS) -- The Coptic Church of Saint Paul and Saint Peter in the town of Shebin el Kom, 60 kilometers (37 miles) northwest of Cairo, Egypt, was burnt on Tuesday, September 8, 2009. No casualties were reported.

The 'firebombed' church

There were conflicting reports as to the cause of the fire, the Egyptian police told the media that it was caused by a short circuit even before carrying out an arson investigation, while others believe it was arson.

[tswagg504]

New Orleans is the shit..but all you hear about is the crime...they forget to mention the city's economy is growing faster than it ever did before the hurricane.

[thatbrandondude]

it is also impossible to have a bad meal in New Orleans . I went last year and ate a dragos ,cafe du mont, house of blues , and a hot dog stand in th french quarter and everything was amazing.

[HeadNtheClouds]

it's N'awlins & don't say that stuff about hurricanes so nonchallantely,, it's not a joke... They are going to put a voo doo spell on you if they see this....

You should talk about the history & why it is French, most people dont even know that...

[WhitneyGetz]

"it's N'awlins "

No, it's not. I don't know where you guys got that from but the only people I've ever heard say it were news casters and tourists.

[ohmylauren]

exactly. "N'awlins" just makes you sound like a ridiculous tourist or insanely unintelligent.

[HeadNtheClouds]

ha haa! half my family lives there & my brother in law says it like that "Naw'aw-linz", I don't know, maybe it's a baby boomer thing, I really have no idea, but my nephews live there too, they love it are so cool... Peace

[firestorm17000]

"You've never seen so many drunk librarians in your life" - (Hahaha).

Love New orleans so different from where Im from (cali). Visited for the first time two months ago. The people there are so much more open-minded, laid-back, and eccentric.

[timelivetime]

I don't understand

[jhwink]

I hope that another hurricane doesn't hit New Orleans

[saintsbeatcolts2010]

@jhwink amen bro i had to move to iowa because of katrina

[cerenamroth]

It's a lovely video with all the sites and sounds captured in the right amount....but the last comment made me sad...New Orleans...here i come...
