Better yet, they could make the short trip to N.O. and play in the Dome.

I'm glad N.O. didn't get hit by anymore hurricanes because Louisiana and New Orleans in general DO NOT NEED any more tropical storms. You mention "Katrina" anywhere in N.O. or Louisiana and people are shook. Ike is putting a hurting on Houston (where some of my fam & friends reside). Some downtown bldgs. got glass blown off, puddles are forming, it's craziness. I wonder what areas of Houston got flooded the worst.

Interesting piece of history: New Orleans' Mardi Gras came close to being permanently eliminated due to a pregnant woman being shot to death during the celebration. This happened a few years back where some dudes opened fire and unfortunately the woman was caught in crossfire.
New Orleans based rap group Hot Boys (Juvenile, B.G., Turk and Lil Wayne) coined their name from a real-life crew. The Hot Boys (Sterling, Dooney, Terrence and another dude) were notorious gangsters who ran New Orleans and when they were exterminated, the murder rate declined.

A little fun to spice this board up:

The long-term solution to crime is education. At least NOLA's schools appear to be going in the right direction.
I feel that there. Also, parents need to take an active role in their children's lives. A lot of dudes wouldn't be on the block if their parents paid more attention to them. New Orleans' crime issue going away would be a bad thing even when it should be a good thing. Why? N.O. citizens have gotten so used to hearing daily shootings/murder reports on the news that if one day went by without a crime happening, it'd be weird.

Man shot to death in New Orleans
by The Times-Picayune
Sunday April 20, 2008, 3:59 PM
A 31-year-old man was shot to death in New Orleans this afternoon, the Police Department said.
The man, whose name is being not being released until his family has been notified, was killed around 1 p.m. at the intersection of Overton and Miles streets in the Gentilly area.
Third District officers found the victim with a gunshot wound to the body, lying in the street next to a vehicle. He was taken to a local hospital, where he died.
Detectives learned the as the victim was exiting a vehicle an unidentified man approached on foot, opened fire and then fled .
He was the seventh murder victim in the city in the last four days.
Wow, the N.O. isn't even safe for rappers. In 2003, Soulja Slim got shot down in almost the same manner. I think NOPD is gonna try to go after B.G. because him and VL Mike did have beef. The murdered man is local rapper VL Mike, real name Michael Allen. He grew up in the 13th Ward, not too far from me.

CA, FL & LA have always been neck and neck in producing sports talent. Football is big in the South, it's like a rite of passage. There's only one CP3 and my N.O. people know what it is

Traditional theme parks are dying all over the country as they have become havens for gangs and drugdealers! Only true destination parks will survive! Six flags was never that park! Gangs & drug dealers are smarter than that. With thousands of people who frequent theme parks, do you think they would be stupid enough to do their dirt on theme park grounds? Generally, they blend in with the crowd so as not to draw attention to themselves.

Anyone who follows N.O. & Louisiana rap like I do has probably heard about New Orleans' rapper C-Murder's murder charge. He's out of jail but still has to face trial for the murder of a 16-year old in a N.O. nightclub. I don't understand these rappers at times, they have fame & fortune and still get caught up in drama. So far C-Murder is staying out of trouble and I hope he keeps it that way. Another N.O. rapper Lil Wayne might go away for a long time due to the recent drug case. In a way I feel bad for Wayne because he had nobody to show him the right way, but he has fame & fortune most folk would kill for and he throws it away being stupid. I hope he gets off but if he doesn't, maybe jail will get his mind right.
Here's the article if you're interested in reading
PHOENIX -- Lil Wayne was arrested on three felony drug charges Wednesday after federal agents said they found illegal drugs including cocaine on his charter bus at a checkpoint in southwestern Arizona.The rapper (real name: Dwayne Michael Carter Jr.) was being held at the Yuma County Sheriff's jail on state drug charges, Capt. Eben Bratcher said.
Carter appeared via video arraignment late Wednesday morning in a court in Wellton, 35 miles east of Yuma.
James Tilson, a local lawyer retained by Carter, said his client was not formally charged and his next court date was scheduled for Jan. 25.
"We will find out by Jan. 25 whether or not the (Yuma) county attorney will file charges or not," Tilson said. "He is looking forward to his day in court. That's all I can say right now."
His bond was set at $10,185. Tilson said they were working on his release.
The 25-year-old faces charges of possession of dangerous drugs, narcotics and drug paraphernalia.
Bratcher said Carter's bus was stopped about 11:30 p.m. Tuesday at a Border Patrol checkpoint near Dateland, Ariz., 78 miles east of Yuma.
Drug Enforcement Administration spokeswoman Ramona Sanchez said a Border Patrol canine unit alerted agents to the presence of illegal drugs on the bus. Among what a search yielded: nearly four ounces of marijuana and just over an ounce of cocaine as well as drug paraphernalia. DEA agents then arrested Carter, who was traveling with 11 others.
Officials also found a .40-caliber pistol registered to Carter, who has a concealed weapons permit in Florida. Authorities are looking into whether he violated any weapons laws in Arizona.
Two other men were arrested with him; they each face a charge of possession of marijuana.
In October, Carter and several other rappers were named in a federal lawsuit filed by music publishing companies, accusing them of sampling other artists' songs without paying licensing fees.
Rapper Birdman and Lil Wayne won a viewers' choice award for their song "Stuntin' Like My Daddy" at Black Entertainment Television's 2007 Hip-Hop Awards.

Championship Pop Bottles-This song is dedicated to LSU for winning the national championship. I bet this song is playing in Baton Rouge as we speak.

Sometimes I can't believe how throwed New Orleans is, and I came up here.

Technically, Houston is right on the coast. If I had to move to Houston or Dallas/Ft.Worth, I'd do it voluntarily because not only could I get a better-paying job for what I'm doing now, but there's bookoo stuff to get into in DFW & Houston. The only issue I have with Houston & Dallas is that they're spread out; almost nothing is within walking distance. You can't get around either city without a car.

yes the Saints blew it big time. What was Payton thinking??? That was a very bonehead call.
You got that right. I just shook my head. It's like the Saints forgot how to win, make it so bad this was a much-needed win.

I can't believe people post on NOLA.com knowing most of the people there are morons. Your IQ drops 50 points everytime you read nonsense from NOLA.com. I would be more than happy to spend money in NOE.

No, but I definately had the chance to. All along the strip these Hispanic people were handing out cards with naked women on them and these were everywhere along with advertise trucks with billboards on the back.
My mom also pointed out some hookers in the casino which bordered the restaurnt we were eating at.
And they got some busness too because two man walked up to one of them and started talking and I looked down to take a bite of my sandwich and when I looked back up they were gone. Funny you mention that, because you would have experienced the same thing in the Quarter.

It looks like this project is really starting to take off. You should see the thousands of pilings on sight ready to be driven. I think '08 going to be a bust out year.
I could see myself hanging out over there. Looks nice.

This intersection was made famous by N.O. rapper B.G-13th Ward, Valence & Magnolia. This block is called Death Row because many murders/shootings have been attributed to this intersection. Arguably the most infamous block in America and New Orleans.
