Yep the wrong neighborhood in NOLA will get you cut QUICK! It is totally different than the other towns in Louisiana like LaLou said. You can be in Metairie in be totally safe then venture a few blocks to say Holly Grove and get shot.

Same goes for places like Miami, Knoxville, Nashville, and definitely Memphis. Memphis is one of the shittiest towns I've ever stepped foot in and that says something when I've been in some rough places of Miami.
