New Orleans' politics are an embarrassment to the state of Louisiana - quite an accomplishment in this day and age. I know a lot of really great people who work in NO, but most don't live in the city. They live across the Causeway or upriver. Why? A failed public school system, crime in the streets, breakdown of services, etc. The experts have been telling us for years the whole city's going to float away 'cause the infrastructure is not equipped to handle the next big hurricane. You can smell the reek of corruption (or is that mildew?)

We certainly have our problems in this city. But 6 million visitors a year can't be wrong. Uptown is absolutely gorgeous, the Warehouse District has been renovated and now the Marigny Triangle is significantly improved.

I am sorry but I think this is the best place to live in the country. Even with a heat index of 114 degrees.
