From the 80’s to two years ago its still the same.

It's actually a pretty cool town with great history and restaurants if you just avoid Bourbon Street like the plague. That's what I do.

Same here but it can’t be avoided completely. I did enjoy the haunted buildings tours. The market too. But not an overall positive.

I grew up not too far from there and have spent a lot of time in it. It does have a lot of great history and the food is fantastic. However, the whole city is a festering chithole, not just Bourbon Street. Bourbon Street itself is actually one of the safer areas, now get two blocks off of it and it's a different story. I still enjoy visiting it in a morbid curiosity kind of way like how you can't take your eyes off a train wreck. Don't let your guard down there however.

The Rock & Bowl...
Best dang bowling alley in the whole dang country! Cajun chow, live music and dancing. With bowling lanes to boot! I recommend bringing your bowling bag with.
