"Empty America Review of New Orleans Spent X days in New Orleans stayed in X places (Gentilly and Riverside). Rented a car and moved around the city a great deal due to visiting wife's family sights old houses tombs etc. Also did ride street cars. First thing I will say is that a very signficant percent of the city is in fact on some level of the "gentry" spectrum ranging from gays and bohemians to young urban professionals to true Upper Class areas. It really is NOT a giant disaster slum with a few pockets of safety however it is true that the transitions to areas where normal middle class"
