vanfullofretards Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Anyone in here familiar with New Orleans? I'm going for a few days at the start of June and am wondering if there are any must see spots that are off the beaten path/away from your standard tourist affair. I'm sure I'll be spending time wandering the French Quarter street shooting and will probably try to catch a bus or tour to one of the cemeteries or out to the swamps, but I'd love to find some areas that are still largely abandoned/destroyed where I won't get shot in the face for wandering around and trespassing. Quite frankly, I don't give a fuck about bars/clubs, and restaurants will be easy to come by, so there is really no reason for me to ask in Ch0. I should also mention that I won't have access to a car. I'm guessing this is a shot in the dark since only like 10 people frequent this thread, but it's always worth a try. When I went there in 2008 there was a TON of abandoned and destroyed houses and buildings, like whole neighborhoods... They weren't within walking distance of the french quarter though... St. Bernard Parish is a place we frequented. Met up with this cool old timer local there named... I'm not kidding... John Wilkes Booth... He took us around and showed us some awesome spots and told a lot of really cool stories... I wish I could do it all over again now that I'm a little older and more mature. We did this thing called "voluntourism" through the St. Bernard Project, they set us up with a place to stay and food as long as we worked on rebuilding a house 6-8 hours a day. It was sooo cool... I don't know if any of this helps, but that was my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
