I’m not familiar with New Orleans but why is Bourbon St. so nasty?
Every city in the country has a party corridor but it seems like New Orleans almost takes pride in being a disaster.
When I was there MANY years ago there was legal street drinking, you could buy a beer in a cup on the street right out of the keg and a whole lot of places with live sex shows. Might be a reason lol. I honestly have no idea if it's still like that now though.
