Oddbean new post about login | logout BUILD THE WALL (around New Orleans).
@HoolaHoolaNope I grew up visiting Nawlins, and loved it. Still do. But it desperately needs a huge revival.
Some areas are beautiful, and the history is fascinating. I do not even drive through New Orleans now.
@HoolaHoolaNope It has been a long time, decades, since I was there. Although I do know some people who live there now. NO has likely always had corrupt govt. and police, from what I can remember from my early years. But it was always so charming. My only honeymoon (first marriage, before kids) was in New Orleans.
It has been a few years since I stayed overnight, but it seems as if it has been effectively abandoned by any leadership, like many American cities I suppose.
