walk around Uptown New Orleans

A narrated alk around Uptown New Orleans. Very nice neighborhood. New Orleans is full of problems and full of beauty. A must see if you're in the northern hemisphere though you can avoid Bourbon street and most of the French quarter as it's a nasty tourist trap.

Yes you are right. Funny thing happened, I was coming into town after vacation and saw a beautiful view of the city and after 4 yrs of living here for the 1st time I felt it was My city. Almost as if it needed me. Sounds crazy but made me really appreciate it. I now have a new love for NOLA and actually feel like I have roots here. I almost feel sad for bad mouthing New Orleans. I think I want to stay. It feels like home now.

i'm 14, i live in new orleans, and i think its an amazing place to grow up.

theres crime everywhere you go, especially in big cities.

i think you need to suck it up, its the world not some protected little suburb.

i lived in a suburb for about 4 months of my life and everyone wanted to commit suicide because its so depressing.

New Orleans IS a great city..However.. when you have million dollar homes within blocks of crack houses you have serious problems that are just waiting to happen. Lived in the city all my life and uptown and the garden district is amazing... but turn the block at dark and some of the cities wonderful "youth" ride up on a bike and stick a gun in your wifes face and then what? It happens all the time. Sadly... it is a jewel surrounded a virus.

@riverchick23 where? not in my old neighborhood probably in a white neighborhood, i live in l.a it's way more opportunities, better education fuck the culture if you black thats not your culture besides the voodoo that come from Africa.

@DNIGG23 Are you kidding me? L.A. would not be a great place to raise a child! I lived there and many people leave the city prior to having kids! I would much rather raise kids in NOLA than L.A. - much more culture.
