What are the French Quarters like in New Orleans after katrina?|111540

My boyfriend and I want to visit the French Quarters in New Orleans. Is the area alright to travel in after Katrina? I_d really like to see everything first hand, but I was just wondering.
Any comments help!

  • The French Quarter is pretty much the same as it was before Katrina. There was no flooding in the French Quarter, only wind damage. The Quarter is one of the older parts of the city, and sits on higher ground than some of the parts that flooded. Oddly enough, as you travel downtown toward the Mississippi River, the less the flooding. If you drive down Canal St. toward the River, you can see the waterlines on the buildings gradually getting lower as you get nearer the river.

  • The parts of the city that tourists usually visit were not flooded. It_s not a coincidence - the French Quarter and other old parts of the city were built on relatively high ground and only suffered wind damage from Katrina. Almost all of the damage has been repaired and you have to look closely in the FQ and city center to see that Katrina happened at all.

    You should visit and see for yourself.

  • The French Quarter in New Orleans escaped from Katrina virtually undamaged. I traveled there last year and they were totally normal, albeit probably a little quieter and with less tourists than pre Katrina. However, there are other parts of town that are still pretty much destroyed, there are even tours that go out to see the wreckage if you_re interested.

  • I go to New Orleans often, and it is great. There are still areas under construction in the French Quarter, but mainly, it is back to normal. The FQ did not really flood, so it was cleaned and going faster than the other areas.

  • The French Quarter was hardly touched. There is no sign of any damage that I saw last year when I went.

  • The French Quarter was hardly damaged at all.

  • It_s the same. It_s going outside of the _touristy_ areas that you have to watch out for.

  • i live in new orlenas and its gooodd(:
    its not bad at all. trust me(:
    itss funnnnn.
