Ugh. What a trip to New Orleans was. My buddy’s car broke down on the interstate and we coasted down the off ramp to the worst part of NO. Luckily a lady cop was parked in her patrol car right where we ended up and she helped us white boys out. We were about 20 years old and had no credit cards so we couldn’t rent a car to go back to Florida.
Ended up taking a bus that was a 24 hour ordeal as the bus stopped at every rural local store and bus stop along the way. The bus even meandered into Florida, then into Georgia (where we picked up a guy laying in the grass) then back into FL.
Good time huh?
