Having spent a year in New Orleans after Katrina, all I would say is the city is sick and dying a slow death. New Orleans is filthy, the food is horrible, the people are rude (leftists are only firendly towards their own) and militant homosexuals prowl the French Quarter in wolf packs.

It was all part of it's "charm".
