Funny how the media portrays New Orleans as desolate and dying city.
After dinner at NOLA's, tried to go to an art display at The Howling Wolf the other night...drove around for 30 minutes and couldnt find anywhere to park, so....we went home.
Cuppla nights earlier, went to Sweet Fire & Ice with a cuppla buddies, crashing the OB xmas party, then a few of us went to The Red Eye (the one on Vets) at 2am....uhhh...the place was PACKED...all the single chicks were saying "OOOHHH!! Theres Juan Kincaid!!!" (local sportscaster)...
came home at...uhhh....5am...
wifey very unhappy..
When I left The Red Eye at 0445, it was still full of people.
New Orleans is far from dying. Critically injured? Yes. But far from a 1-8-7.
And this is coming from a dude that would live somewhere else in a heartbeat if DA BOSS (wifey) would endorse it.
WARNING TO THE DUDES ON THIS FORUM:
No matter how hot the chick is, if she's from New Orleans, dont commit unless youre ready to live here....cuz gettin' a New Orleans chick outta 'da city is next to impossible.
I think the parts of the city that are up and running are so packed it is ridiculous. I'm not playing anymore my old bass player moved to canada and lets face it medical school is a little time consuming. My husband's band has been playing around town - down at the howling wolf and one eyed jacks. I think they are playing somewhere on New Year's Eve, but I can't remember where.
I am not born and raised in NOLA, but my husband was and so I am now also married to the big easy. He lasts about 4 months away from the city before he starts coming unglued. Sincer your alma mater, Jet, has not even downloaded my application - my marital bliss is pinned on Alton Ochsner.
