    "Nothing that I can think of. It’s not very safe, so most people stay inside a lot of the time. Second lines maybe?"

    "My neighborhood is close to downtown you can walk a lot of places. I currently have no car but I can still walk to the closest Rouses in 10 minutes and carry my groceries home. If you’re a sport fan you can walk to the Superdome and when Mardi Gras is on all I have to do is walk outside my building and I’m in the heart of the parade "
