There was a lot of streetcar shut downs over the weekend. They were doing testing and repairs in anticipation of FQF.

@donnahead I know exactly where you mean about the homeless camp. There is a shelter right in that area and they have to leave during the day so they hang out under the overpass. New Orleans is really working hard to end the homeless situation in conjunction with mental health and substance abuse assistance. http://www.nola.com/health/index.ssf/2014/04/new_orleans_on_track_to_end_ch.html#incart_m-rpt-1

I don’t see anyone as being negative, everyone has their own impressions and likes and dislikes. Not everyone “gets” NOLA and there is no escaping NOLA if you go to Tulane. For my son it is a huge draw. I think John Goodman summed it up best: “Someone suggested that there is an incomplete part of our chromosomes that gets repaired or found when we hit New Orleans. Some of us just belong here”
