I’m glad she is getting out of that situation.
He told us the police department was sooooo corrupt and that the city had a thin facade of respectability, covering a filthy, grimy, dishonest center. I loved New Orleans, but I always found his description to be honest. So, I just never looked too deeply. I really, really wish the best for New Orleans. I miss it, but not enough to pay for all their shortcomings.
