Yes,it could get crazy down there.I used to teach in the Ninth Ward so I have seen and heard it all.Had to deal with my share of crazies of all colors.Was there to witness the Mark Essex Howard Johnson shootout in 1973.
Yet I miss the damn place after all these years in Califonia.
I miss much about Louisiana, but I never forget who is responsible for the poverty, criminality, and disfunctionality of Louisiana: Louisianians.
