Sister in law is from N’orleans, they live in Dallas, real gentel lady, my niece is looking at schools, I asked about Tulane, my sis said, we decided 5 generations at Tulane was enough, and teared up.
There no longer is a New Orleans, it’s as dead as Julius Caeser.
Yeah, it's shaping up that way. About twenty years ago, I heard Jimmy Buffett refer to New Orleans as "The Mother City of the Caribbean". When you think about the tenuous grip that the Spanish and later, the French had on the activities there through the late 1700s, it's little wonder that the place was like a huge extension of Tortuga.
The city is devolving back to its pre-Louisiana Purchase roots.
