You ever been in that neighborhood?
I took a wrong turn once south of the Superdome...some guy came up and tried to open my car door! Its like Newark South.
Back in 1983 we were in town for the Sugar Bowl - wandered around (just a group of dumb happy college kids) on our way to the game . . . a very nice lady (a resident) told us to get the hell out of the neighborhood we were in before we got robbed or worse . . . that's when we realized just what a scary place we'd blundered into . . . we did get out safely, but it was sobering . . .
