I had just spent a disappointing week in New Orleans. Ive always loved Nola and will probably continue to do so, but its spiraling into a Very Bad Place. Its african governance is many decades old now, and will be unbreakable absent an anti-democratic revolution in the United States, so you have 50+ years of severe incompetence, mismanagement and grift. This compounds.
Unlike Chicago, New Orleans doesnt have the economic muscle to drag the corruption forward. Laying a new street, even in its premier tourist district means the old street gets dug up, government contracts enter litigation, and the project sits in chaos for years. Run a business on that street? Lol ur fuct.
Trying to run a restaurant and the water stops working? Maybe someone can connect you to a water main sometime over the next five years. Power goes out intermittently? Please direct your complaint to this website --- OOPS the website doesnt exist.
So Nola is just spiraling into african living standards. But worse, it gets just enough tourist cash to preserve a kind of Disney debauchery that is cordoned off, watched over by police, and extremely depressing. The "wild times" on Bourbon street involve side-stepping giant concrete Muslim-blockers, only to enter into earsplitting rap music and fat boomers wilding out. Youre safe, youre boomer, you have the soundtrack of black criminality to show your fat wife's tits, but no real danger.
Bywater is whats left of old New Orleans, and is what the Quarter used to be, but its the most faggot place you can imagine. Thousands of redditors, the woman absolutely covered in tattoos, painting LOVE WINS and NO KINGS on their curbs, while elderly sodomites painstakingly paint their houses bright colors.
Anyway, I gtfo'd and went to Mobile. I used to drive through town without stopping, figuring it mostly a violent african hellhole. It probably is, but it's honest. There is no New Orleans pretense. Mobile has not created a curated "danger zone", watched over by cops. Its just dangerous. It has probably better architecture than Nola, but there are no faggots primping it.
Absolutely everyone is broke, but unlike Nola they are not sophisticated enough to resent your money, or devise ways to scam you out of it. They just stare at you setting a $20 bill on the bar with wide eyes, because they have not seen a $20 bill since Christmas. They will not steal it, because they would not know what to do with it.
Anyways, it was in some bar / coffeeshop called Knucklebones that I started talking to this goth chick who grew up outside Biloxi but moved to the Big City of Mobile. Pasty and untatted, big tits, t-shirt cut off just under her tits.
It is a wonderful town, Mobile
