New Orleans to me is like New York for the south with all the culture and music and bounce just about everything

[@ctcmonk]

Perfect Comparison...

[@NewtralGroundz]

Perfect we have a whole video talking about that

[@reginaldmiddleton7017]

I would argue New Orleans has more culture because it's homegrown, while Nyc is more migration culture(southern migration) and immigration culture(Caribbean).

[@majwho]

@@reginaldmiddleton7017 great point👍🏽,but with so many different southern roots migrating 2 NYC from different southern states, I'd prolly argue against u, lol. But ultimately u r absolutely right.

Thanks for the video! I’m homesick na, need to make a trip home!😩 I’m from the Melph and Lafitte project, my grandma lived in the Magnolia so I was in there a lot. The projects were home, there are killings everywhere. Tearing down those projects, mixed wards, broke up neighborhoods which were like family, one of the major reason for majority of the crime. I now live in the Suburban part of Houston, but many nights I still cry and wishing I was at home Pre-Katrina sitting on the porch in the projects! ⚜️504 3rd ward 4 Life!⚜️
