Hehe- wasn't me- honest. I lived there in 1973 and there was talk of moving "Bourbon Street" out to a strip plaza in Metairie since the original was such a hole. Also remember how unpopular "cajuns" were in N.O. How times have changed.
This is for you New Orleans freepers.
In 1988 I was in New Orleans for the Republican Convention and got lost. It wasn't my fault, though, the desk clerk told me to take the "Nawlins" exit! Honest. I even asked him to repeat it several times because it was such a strange-sounding name. Of course, he couldn't pronounce it "Noo Or-leens" like regular people so like an idiot I just kept driving and driving looking for the exit spelled "Nawlins," until I ended up across the river in the public housing section of town and had to ask directions from a guy who worked inside a fortress-like glass cage at a very scary gas station. Except for that, and the suffocating humidity, "Nawlins" is a fun town.
