I can't help but think of New Orleans as an actual "city" however, and it never really had a period when it was a safe city, so it surprises me less in that sense to hear about the number of murders & crimes. However, it seems like New Haven only exists because of Yale, and you'd think the two existed as two separate cities unto themselves. I imagine part of my problem is that I have this vision of New Haven and other parts of CT as bucolic New England villages, but clearly that isn't the case. I'd like to think that maybe it will change here, that people are more aware and want it to change, but who knows.bklynbibliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12857539103503922487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267610447946469978.post-35884181125745861092011-12-07T09:54:30.939-05:002011-12-07T09:54:30.939-05:00As I wandered the streets of New Orleans yesterday...As I wandered the streets of New Orleans yesterday, I was thinking about your post. Part of the day was spent in the serenity of the New Orleans Museum of Art, part along St Charles Avenue and in the Quarter, but also parts along Carrollton, Washington, Toledano, and Louisiana avenues as I walked a loop from the Quarter to NOMA to Xavier to St Charles. Prospect 2.0 was not really open yesterday but I did see the Francesco Vezzoli at the Piazza d'Italia and the William Pope.L at Xavier (it's a projection piece so daylight viewing is a bit empty and silly ... but maybe there's a YouTube of the projections).<br /><br />Oh, New Orleans has had more than 100 murders already this year. I can't remember the exact number I read but it's already as many as last year. Still, it's less than one every three days or something like that. What are the chances you'll be in the wrong place at the wrong time?Sherman Clarkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17825017103161880163noreply@blogger.com
