There are no jobs, so I'm assuming one would not be riding that bicycle to work. The population has decreased in size by something like 25% over the last few years. Corporations and businesses are leaving in mass, plus that whole BP thing didn't help the cause. Unfortunately, New Orleans is the new Galveston.OnlyLivingBoyinNY wrote:uzpakalis wrote:Additionally, I would not attend Tulane.

Whoa whoa whoa. I don't care if you rag on Tulane, but don't start talking sh*t about New Orleans. It's a beautiful city with great people, no matter what time of the year. You can actually get a better feel for the city when you don't go during Mardi Gras. If you have ridden a bicycle through uptown in the past couple years, you would know that saying something like that is just not true.
Right right. Nobody works in New Orleans. Everybody just sips sweet tea on their porch. I suppose all of the law professors are also unemployed, along with everybody at the law firms in New Orleans. When tourists visit, they boil water from Lake Ponchartrain over campfires in the French Quarter, where post-apocalyptic gunfire buries the streets.uzpakalis wrote:There are no jobs, so I'm assuming one would not be riding that bicycle to work.

I apologize, everyone knows that the employment figures for law professors are a good indication of the overall economy.I suppose all of the law professors are also unemployed
Who are the lawyers going to work for when the businesses are gone and the city is underwater?along with everybody at the law firms in New Orleans.
That is the basic picture that lil wayne paints, thank you for letting us know he still has street cred.When tourists visit, they boil water from Lake Ponchartrain over campfires in the French Quarter, where post-apocalyptic gunfire buries the streets.
I do not dislike New Orleans, I am being objective.Also, what's with the ominous comparisons of New Orleans to other cities you also happen to not like?
Galveston and New Orleans are really very little alike, aside from being port cities in the Gulf (please don't use the word hurricane, because every port city on the Gulf has been affected by hurricanes at some point). New Orleans' population may have declined to under 400,000, but Galveston's population is only in the ballpark of 50,000.
New Orleans is the new Galveston.
