Is New Orleans still a great place to visit?

My husband and I went to New Orleans for Valentine's Day and everything in the area of Bourbon Street was up and running.  The casino was opening up on Feb 17.  It definately has alot of work left, but if you stay in the area of Bourbon I think you will be fine.  They are getting alot done day by day.

i used to go there in the summer with my family for a week. there is a boardwalk there, which is fun. lots of shops and restaurants, and a little amusement park down the end. not to mention its right on the beach, and the ocean there is BEAUTIFUL.

I think it's a great place to visit.  Beautiful sights, great boating and the residents are very friendly.  If you don't need to live in a big city and if you are o.k. with their weather, then why not...

Its really cool. The history of the place is amazing. When your there they have pics of all of the big names that have passed through. I have seen Wu Tang Clan, Weezer and Steve Earl there. Its a smaller venue, so there really isn't a bad seat in the house. If you see a group there you like there, I would recommend it highly.

North Carolina? It's a fun town...plenty to do. Pick up a local events calendar or just go out and explore.\n\nThe best thing, tho? For me it would be the proximity to other cool cities in that region.

Have you tried craigslist.com ? Go there, click on New Orleans in the column on the right, and you will get a page of listings all in New Orleans area. Good luck.  You may want to also just drive around the areas you are interested in. Some people are renting, but not advertising, so they don't get swamped with people looking.  Go drive around and look for signs.

I've got lots of ideas!\n\nSeattle is my absolute favorite place to visit and I hope that you thoroughly enjoy your time there.  Are you just visiting, or are you just looking for new things to do?\n\nI will include all of my favorite places to visit as well as a few that are a bit out of town but well worth the trip. Good Luck!

I love Revolution on Broad St, but that's mostly because I'm single and do quite well in there whenever I'm visiting! The Canalside has a lot of good bars, and as for during the day I find going to the Sea Life aquarium quite a relaxing way to spend an afternoon. Have a nice time!

I am from Louisville an dI do agree. The Oaks is a secret amoung the locals. I have been going to the oaks for years now, as well as the derby and the oaks is more of a calm crowd. There aren't as many tourists and its always a good time. But I do love the craziness of the derby :)

I think you should. New Orleans might just get hit again and then you'd be worse off than before. You should do a little research, don't just get set on Phoenix, there are list of "Best and Worst" cities, and maybe you can find one nearer to Cali.

I have been through Lafeyett,La. Not much their. La. Got hit so hard by Katrina Hurricane, they all have not recovered yet, I would wait another 1-2 before moving their.

Sure, France is wonderful to visit. And America is considered the greatest country because it is.

Charlotte is a cool place.  I used to live in Columbia, SC and the only thing redeeming about Columbia is that it was only an hour from Charlotte..\nCharlotte has a lot to offer.  It is a mid-sized city with enough culture, sporting events, and restaurants to keep you happy and there's also a pretty  good mix of people.\nI would really suggest going to visit there - I made that mistake before I moved to Columbia - I only visited for a short time and I saw *ALL* of the really cool little spots the first time so I made an erroneous decision that Columbia was pretty cool in itself.  I should have stayed longer and met some people... \n\nIf I were you I would make a list of all of the things that I love about Detroit and LA and see if Charlotte has most of those things.  I really wish I would have done that when I moved from Atlalnta to Cola.  It would have helped me see things in a more objective way.\nBy the way, Yankees are fine with us.... as long as you don't tell us how ya used to do it up north... :)\nIf Charlotte isn't big enough we'd love to have you in Atlanta I'm sure.

Louisville and Lexington are the 2 larges cities and have a lot of historical sites to visit.\nLexington is home to some of the grandest horse farms in the world, a castle, and tons of Civil War homes and sites.\nLouisville is more modern, although Louis and Clark began their journey and the underground railroad is rooted here. You can also visit the Slugger Museum, Muhammad Ali's museum and plenty of other sites. Also, within a 35 minute drive, there is the Bourbon industry. And don't forget Churchill Downs.

I went last year and had a wonderful time. The music is as good as it gets. There is a person or band for every kind of musical taste. The hardest part is deciding who you are going to see when, because sometimes you have to leave one awesome show to see another. There are a lot of people (85,000 last year I think), which at times is a little overwhelming and sometimes scary depending on your state of mind. The porta potties were disgusting by the last day and were out of tp- so take your own. Bring a hat for shade and a lot of water, you'll need it. Overall, it was an enlightening experience. You walk away with a new appreciation for music and how it affects people- really cool.
