Street Sign

The perfect street corner to get ROBBED, MUGGED or ASSULTED.

The tourist areas of New Orleans still aren't safe in the winter of 2008.  The French Quarter is under the 8th District NOPD.  Read up on a neighborhood blog written by residents of the 8th District who are fed up.

If you are considering traveling to New Orleans, consider somewhere else.  New Orleans will prey upon you.  Tourists are like fish in a barrel for the slimy criminals who prey upon them.  Odds are you or someone you are with will be a victim, whether its a full blown robbery or an crooked waitress stealing money from you.
