NOLA crime….
I think for me personally, the main way that this (perceived?) uptick in violent crime will manifest itself in my life, since i have long ago given up my days of getting sloshed and meandering around the Quarter after midnight, is that i find myself planning differently for Saints games (i still have my season tix even though i live out of state).. whereas i used to schedule trips home almost exclusively for Sunday night and Monday night games- now i am scheduling trips to attend games at Noon or 3pm, daytime games… I realize that walking back to my hotel in the Warehouse Dist is 99% safe after night games, what with all the crowds- but i do feel a sense of uneasiness now, compounded by the fact that we usually have young family members (think single digits or young teens) with us and are trying to be more safety-conscious .
