I know how the rebuilding from a hurricane goes..lets not forget Hurricane Ivan..I feel the pain  |
Yea, I think the main thing is people need to be comfortable when they come down here and not worry about all the bad things that happened. Don't worry about the negative things you heard. I promise everything is fine in the areas that the visiting fans will frequent. Just don't venture out into the hoods and you won't have any trouble of course.
Same for pretty much any major city.
Mother's a good place for a sloppy poboy.
Just get out of your hotel rooms, sample the food, listen to the music, hit Bourbon if you want to get trashed and see some [censored] or pick up on our lovely drunk beautiful women, just make sure they are alone. Also, when you are walking with your
OSU garb on you will be TigerBaited. Just take it in stride and laugh it off. Sometimes our guys get a little rough with it but just laugh it off. Don't try to be a tough guy because most of the time you will not win the fight with the homefield advantage. NOPD doesn't like out of towners causing trouble and you will spend the NC game time in an 8x8.
I have a good feeling that those that have never been to our City will fall in love with the culture, food and fun. Enjoy it and thanks for coming.
