There are some pretty unsettling crime statistics in the ATL, as well, chas... doesn't stop you from going there.

Come on down to N.O.... You'll find that crime is, as it always tends to be, far more concentrated in some areas than others. Grab a room in the Quarter, you should be fine.

Mind you, this time of year is pretty hot and humid, and Bourbon St. gets a bit more 'fragrant' than in the Fall plus it's kind of the off season, so entertainment is at it's low ebb. October or November, OTOH, is paradise
