New Orleans Might Not Be Here One Day 

You are probably the only person that would talk to an old dude in an alligator costume!

Just remember, safety first! He ain’t lyin’!

Visited in February, it's a very interesting city! Most colorful city I've been to, in terms of the buildings and houses. The French Quarter is packed with history - it's like stepping back in time in some areas

I lived in New Orleans/south LA for most of my life and even tho it has its pros i would certainly never recommend living there. Yes, the sights and attractions are overall great, I feel the city just ignores its problems. A lot of residential areas are run down and only get attention when there is opportunity for tourist attractions. The place I lived in was mostly ignored by the parish until they found that tourists go to the area to shop and for some parades. Even though the area is getting renovated which I am thankful for because I have friends who still live there, it’s upsetting that the neighborhoods problems don’t get heard until they find something they can profit off of. Even though the cons outweigh the pros when living there long term, I still miss it and tbh I wouldn’t be the person I am today without living there.

I was in NO recently and this guy is always running around on bourbon st. Good dude

New Orleans is a great unique place.

So sad. I went to college there. So many kind people who have been there for a long time.

what he means is, new orleans might be underwater in 50 years

Im glad you found New Orleans Nick lol

It’s St. Charles “Avenue” not St.

Awwh mate! I knew you were an alligator, bless

Thank you Nick for sharing this video!! It was short and sweet and to the point!! MAPPY RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had a wonderful time visiting New Orleans in December 2021.

Hello from New Orleans! Yes there is disfunction and impending doom from sea level rise but it is still the most fun, interesting and friendly place I've ever lived or visited. NOLA Forever!❤🎉

Nawlins is my most favorite place in the world. The people are the best. Its beautiful and full of rich culture. ❤❤❤

Give what you can. Leave everywhere you go better than when you got there. Love and be kind at all times because you NEVER know what someone is going through. Give food & water to animals tied up. Thank God for yet another day. Call yo Mama if you can❤

Love from New Orleans! 🫶🏼

Pro Tip: don’t wear any of the free beads you’re given, or purchase. It is a dead tourist give away.

He is not a dinosaur, he’s an alligator. 😂😂😂😂😂Haha

That would be a blessing!!

Ur right my brother Safety first

Thanks nick...most people cannot afford a big house.

This beautiful city had become a very dangerous place to live and very dangerous for tourist. Multiple shootings daily. Carjackings and armed robbery preying on tourist. I know because I've lived there

I was there on business just three (3) weeks before Hurricane Katrina.

Ward nine was hit hard by hurricane Katrina. The area was never rebuilt. The majority of the people moved to the local states. Texas was one and crime rate rose rapidly 😳😞

I miss living there

Hello ole friend Nick! Awesome videos,as always.👍🤗

Too hot and humid in July.

Safety First!!!!!

Awesome😳👍

Just remember!! See your dentist once every 5 years!! lol

I live in a small town that was devastated by Hurricane Floyd in 1999. The town has struggled since and won't survive another major flood. No one wants to invest in a place that gets flooded. New Orleans won't make it another round either

We drove from San Diego to Ft Lauderdale and stopped at New Orleans and it smelled like trash. 😂

I will pass

Alligator have no way life in Death Valley anyway 😂

THATS A BEER CAN

Yes, I Believe That!

I know for sure New Orleans will not be here someday and that someday is closer then you think. If I were a foreigner and went to New Orleans, I would think I was in a third world country.

This guy us incredible at harmonica.

My only trip to Nawlins was pre-Katrina and the concierge at the hotel gave us directions to a restaurant that was just 4 blocks away but said we can’t go in a straight line cause it’s too dangerous. So we walked about 12 blocks around to get there.

Those huge homes were lovely.

No thanks

You take your life your own hands when you go to New Orleans

It's not too bad down here. Just be you. The geology of the land will work itself out every time.

Just visited for the 1st time, interesting place and people. It’s amazing how many school age kids are hanging out all over the place, guess they don’t go to school there? I felt safe on one street and then the next one not so much. Homeless everywhere. FYI I did CC and also had a knife. Also, very expensive to eat or drink there.

I found the people of New Orleans to be the nicest, friendliest people I have ever met. The homeless problem and overall dinginess is a downer, but the people are fantastic.

You showed my old neighbor 😂 I had to move because safety first I leave in Lacombe Louisiana. I've been happier ever since .

Nick Johnson this is the first time I've ever seen you show the nicer/nicest side of a city. It's sad that people may think the entire city looks like the horrible, rundown poor conditions that you show in your videos.

I grew up there and am glad I got out. I don't even like going back to visit. If you don't chain your stuff down, it won't be yours for very long! Of course, when you have a culture that revolves around partying and seeing how drunk you can get, what sort of results do you expect. I'm 55 years old and it was like that when I was growing up. To me, seeing it go under won't be a big loss.

Jesus

The plugs near the river make me nervous.

one can only hope, cause then when a hurricane shows up politicians might remember there is more to the state than N'awlins

That place is a different world bro

The building isn the lowere 9th ward is that from Katrina & why are they still like that?

I want to go but my husband says it's dangerous and plus I have a mosquito allergy 😂

I'd like to see him wear that alligator suit down here in August...

Sad to see our culture might not be here one day. Even traveling over the new orleans bridge you can see the fallen homes that fell due to the rising water, honestly sad.

Makes me home sick, I love New Orleans but couldn't afford to stay there.

Crime out of control in new Orleans and prone to flooding the city maybe gone sooner.

Sadly the city relied on the winning Saints, but that regime is gone and it's back to misery.

Yeah he looks like an upstanding citizen.

Ok Nick I moved to North Carolina and I love it. Best place in the US and I’m never leaving BUT there’s no pumpkin pie! WTF. No pumpkin pie in any bakery. Not in any store. I found some at Whole Foods at Christmas and that was it. How do you people not want pumpkin pie all year?!!! PS to all you southerners, love ya but sweet tea is an abomination.

It’s St. Charles AVENUE.

We don’t have any swamps in New Orleans. And no one has houses on piers in the water like that in New Orleans. There are areas not too far where you’ll see that. But other than the Bourbon St shot, the lower 9 shot, the st charles shot, and the potholes, what was shown is not New Orleans. We need better policing. The city needs to stop over taxing property owners. It drives rents up and makes it harder for investors to make places like the 9th ward better. That’s to say nothing of how our city government mismanaged Fema money. Insurers won’t insure down here unless you’re willing to pay huge amounts (which again raises rent). It is a mess… for sure. But it is home.

Dentist not one of em

If you like the ride Tip the guide✔️

I love N.O. but fear that another Katrina will be the end.

That's 9th Ward for "Shitfire!" Ain't nothin but a chicken wing,Boudreaux. watch yorself tho•

It's just a shame that people tear those ecosystems up with their four wheelers. Idk though, I guess there's a possibility that the trails help wildlife but I bet they crush many animals.

Where both my paternal grandparents are from! Ey yaw!

U swim in that water u become mutant 😂

Yes homeless guy bathing in a water fountain infront of the catholic church..

With ghettos so bad, the birds dont even chirp!!🎉🎉

Yeah, I don’t want to see none of that.

I feel safer walking around Tijuana at night ....alone

FL GA SC all the same

Thats not fair that was one bad part of the lower ninth ward show beautiful part as well the hold st.charles st. dont look like that either.

Bleeps destroyed New Orleans

Bugs, snakes, alligators, mosquitoes the size of your hand, and humidity that will melt you. No thanks!

plan for the future, buy a houseboat

Huuuu bruha🐊⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️

This list is ridiculous. Your metrics is geographically biased cause many cities in the list are comparable to qualities in cities in the Central Coast like Santa Barbara, Pismo Beach and Ventura.

i live in the upper 9th ward

Do ya think? They should have bull dozed it after Katrina.

Lower 9th ward has not been the same since hurricane Katrina

The rate people are DIEING of overdosed on drugs, then there's less jobs. Homeless. Yeah New Orleans could be dyeing. What are the stats on that?

Look f*****-up

😮😊

Just wrong in economic policy from governor. Not poor city.

Y'all clowning around 🤣

You couldn’t find a better representation of the lower 9th ward?

I am glad to see something positive but these videos are all misleading the ten worst or even this one. That’s Front street which is a tourist destination so it’s like going to the Garden District and thinking that’s all NO. S’port BR Alex NO been to all recently and this videos cherry pick What’s noticeable is the extreme gulf of extreme wealth cluster and then extreme poverty cluster in all these places That’s what is striking to me Statistics are misleading if poor yeah violence more likely no matter what city is I can’t be the only one who realizes this ? Do we focus on this stuff here instead bc we don’t have a solution to wealth inequity?

I’m sure we all find pleasure in the decline of this country.

He’s so right! New Orleans is my favorite American city but it’s so dangerous.

Bye New Orleans!

That would be a good thing if it disappeared

And stay out of the House of the Rising Sun.

Dentist first

another red state?

What the politicians in our govt. have done to this country inexcusable-they all need voted out and put in the unemployment line!
