Quiet side streets are now best avoided.

My first trip to NOLA I got some good advice from some of NOLA's finest, stay off the side streets, and if a street isn't well lit stay off. A great city, but as a tourist anywhere use common sense and I rely on the unofficial motto of the Office of the Chief Coroner investigators where I spent 9 years.....Think Dirty.

And this is good advice for anyone in any large city. We were once in Barcelona walking the city and I stopped our group when I saw the clear line of demarkation between the good part of town and the bad part of town. I thank my NOLA experience for this 6th sense.

I lived in the Lower East Side of Manhattan way back in the heyday of CBGB's, etc. But I liked BMWs.
So I bought bad looking bodies (2002s), and hopped up the chassis & engine. I also had three kill-switches on them (battery, ignition, starter). We parked with the glove box open! I had a secret hinged panel which hid my radio! The good old days.... Murf |

US cities are nuts, with all due respect. I have travelled a bit for work to some ho-hum places, I really enjoy seeing new places and try to find the interesting bits to explore. I am talking Wichita, Erie (PA), Youngstown, Port Huron, Bay City etc.... not big places other than St Louis and Philly.
They are all downright weird, basically donut cities where the downtown is sketchy and the money is in the burbs. And yeah, you can go from "OK" to "Fucking get me out of here" in seconds. |

Eggslut is a US restaurant chain. They only have a few stores. One is in downtown LA, which I've been to a few times. Their namesake dish, the Slut, is a poached egg on top of mashed potatoes served in a glass jar. It is awesome.
