"Southern Louisiana is facing 3-7 metres of sea-level rise"- WAT?
Posted by VIV
|
I was gonna say, doesn’t this also wipe out Miami and other coastal cities?*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
yeah, 20 feet of sea level rise in 75 years would be catastrophic
Posted by VIV
|
Yeah even 9 feet of sea level rise impacts Boston and NYC.
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
I don't think the paper linked in the article is arguing that global sea levels will rise 3-7 meters
Posted by Sammich
|
Serious question: Is 20 feet of localized sea level rise a thing?
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
I've got no clue, but the people who study it for a living seem to think so.
Posted by Sammich
|
Yes, they're saying that southern Louisiana is a worst case scenario in any sea level rise situation

Louisiana, Florida and Arizona are toast from climate change*

Walk along the giant levees and wonder why people live below them

In the 21st century, living in a desert/badlands makes sense. But before modern transportation

*Rolls eyes in Dutch*
Posted by KingTalkyTiki The town where my Grandpa was born is 3.6 ft, or just a little over a meter above sea level

dutch only have to defend against sea level, not cat 5 hurricanes. dutch ground solid, not sinking

Never been to NOLA. Never have a desire to visit NOLA*

That's probably for the best. The architecture would make you regret buying your home.

Went once with a side trip out to Whitney Plantation - WWII museum in NO is good*
Posted by Potomac
|
I'm heading there on Thursday for the first time!*
Posted by illini21

Sent you my recs, have a blast! Been too long, bringing the kids for their first time this fall*
Posted by Carl Spackler

Thanks man!*
Posted by illini21

I would call Commander’s today to see if something popped open for lunch tomorrow
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
Jealous. It's an amazing city that feels of a different place and time. Enjoy.*
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
I always enjoy my trips there. it's unique.*
Posted by cpsteine
|
extremely unique*
Posted by Sammich
|
I'd love to airbnb a place in the Garden District/Tulane area for a month or so.

That’s what we did when we were there over NYE maybe 10 years ago. Need to go back. *

i've been there 3 times. i don't think it's for me*
Posted by VIV
|
My sister lived there for work and couldn’t wait to get out*
Posted by Potomac
|
one of the times i went was in the middle of the summer. i don't think i could live there
Posted by VIV

I haven't been there, never will, and don't think it's for me*

Adfession: I get twitchy when someone says they don't like something they've never experienced

Pfft. I've seen enough video to know it's not very me. Plus it's hot and humid.
Posted by Stu
|
So you had multiple children but didn't like the experience.
Posted by mrkoolaid
|
I fully acknowlege that I missed out on the experience of not having kids
Posted by Sounder
|
i've never had a dick in my ass, but i don't think it's for me. *
Posted by VIV
|
I wouldn’t live there because the “southern” is very apparent
Posted by snipes824
|
I could absolutely live there
Posted by Sounder
|
Agree, wouldn't want to live there but glad it exists.*
Posted by Warrin'_Illini

I would have thought

He lives in New Orleans Jr but prefers a more modest Mardi Gras celebre.*
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
hot take- the food is massively overrated. *
Posted by VIV
|
I think its fine. But they think it's OMGWTFBBQ
Posted by illini
|
You know how when you go to a great food town, people who live there will tell you
Posted by illini
|
More Po' Boys for me!
Posted by KingTalkyTiki
|
WTF does that that mean?*
Posted by Sounder
|
Interesting take
Posted by Sounder
|
pretty much, aside from jambalaya. gumbo is ok.
Posted by VIV
|
It my favorite food
Posted by TarheelIllini
|
disgusting little bugs*
Posted by VIV
|
I like crawfish
Posted by Sounder
|
Crawfish Oysters Mussels Clams Crab Scallops Lobster Shrimp.
Posted by KingTalkyTiki What can I say, I like my shellfish to be a bit earthy. That said, I celebrate the entire catalog
|
On that list, lobster is at my bottom
Posted by TarheelIllini
|
I respect that
Posted by Sounder
|
This. Most people love it or hate it, it's very polarizing.
Posted by KingTalkyTiki Just remember there's more to the city than Bourbon Street.
|
I went to Mardi Gras twice, in 91 and 92. the most enjoyable aspects of each trip
Posted by bjl63
|
Bourbon Street is a lot of fun
Posted by Sounder
|
There are people that just love Disneyworld or Vegas.

New Orleans and Montreal are the two places in North America
Posted by Sounder

I don’t know that I agree with NO feeling like Europe
Posted by TarheelIllini

what does San Francisco feel like? San Francisco?*

a really cool cosmopolitan melting pot*
Posted by Sounder
|
New Orleans and Montreal are the two places in North America
Posted by Sounder
|
nothing about new orleans feels european to me.*
Posted by VIV
|
Name that North American city:
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
I believe that is Toronto
Posted by Sounder
|
Parts of it felt like Europe, other parts like Japan. They the North.*
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
I call it Chicago with Asian people
Posted by Sounder
|
I anticipated Vancouver having an Asian flair....no idea to the extent I experienced.*
Posted by KingTalkyTiki
|
yeah, it's basically an Asian city in North American
Posted by Sounder
|
Went to a Dim Sum restaurant in Richmond.
Posted by KingTalkyTiki
|
We had an unfortunate obvious reverse racism situation
Posted by Sounder
|
We were put off into a corner.
Posted by KingTalkyTiki
|
I've had a lot of dim sum in Richmond and Vancouver
Posted by Sounder
|
Thanks, really looking forward to it.

Kind of how New Orleans rolls in the spring, but they’re usually fleeting.*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
thankfully it's a town of bars and a casino
Posted by assassin
|
Get to Magazine Street and the Garden District
Posted by Sounder
|
what's the occasion?*
Posted by assassin
|
Friend is there for a work conference
Posted by illini21
|
Ping me with your email and I’ll send you some stuff*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
^^^ has great recommendations. *
Posted by harb
|
don't reach behind the bar to grab yourself an empty cup*
Posted by lcubed
|
cafe beignet is just as good if not better than du monde
Posted by assassin
|
But beignets are the most overrated food in the world.
Posted by DT
|
I can’t imagine framing “tastes too much like funnel cakes” as a negative
Posted by snipes824
|
They are perfectly tasty. But not some amazing unique New Orleans delicacy.*
Posted by DT
|
I feel like there are certain touristy things you just have to do
Posted by Sounder
|
It’s a check the box thing for sure.
Posted by DT
|
people like doughnuts*
Posted by assassin
|
I thought the coffee was better than the beignets
Posted by Sounder
|
Also, muffuletta at Central Grocery*
