Like most other famous tourist areas the French Quarter is vastly over rated. It’s a crime ridden crap hole filled with kindergarten quality “artists”, ghetto children street “performers”, and vermin infested restaurants that somehow maintain “famous” status. Plus the place smells like vomit and bum piss.
I enjoy watching the coffins rise out of the ground during major rainfalls. I enjoy watching the cops grab their payoffs from the drug kingpins punk, I love the smell of raw urine flowing freely down Bourbon St. I really love the exit signs in my rear view mirror. Town is a dump and nobody really gives a damn unless they aren’t getting some free money from the government. Place is a rats paradise and I shall now turn in my resignation from the N.O.
