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.

I didn't mean to insult you or the citizens of the city of New Orleans. I have family there. I grew up in Baton Rouge, spent my 20's in New Orleans, and enjoyed time (for the most part)spent there. My husband was transferred to Lake Charles and it took me 2 years to make the adjustment from big city living to the boonies. Talk about culture shock (lol). Now, I find I am thankful my kids are growing up in a smaller community. I hope I didn't offend you, it was certainly not my intention.

I stand my ground on the corrupt politicians, though.
