i find urban ruin to be quite beautiful in a surreal kind of way. part of the reason i fell in love with greensboro freshman year was from biking around town past the many, many abandoned warehouses that haunt the city's landscape. most towns around the south are like that, haunted by the ghosts of industry forced upon it during the reconstruction and assimilation into the northern controlled united states, industry that never got the chance to really take off before it went overseas in the 70's and 80's.
Yes, I also love huge abandoned buildings. I was tempted to try to get inside, but was a little nervous about going in by myself.
After Katrina, a number of the big housing projects in the city got bulldozed. Apparently, one of the vacated ones is still standing, though. I've been tentatively planning a mission there...
i've wondered recently how your experiences living in new orleans, and your impressions of the city, differ from the romantic/fantasized big easy where you set your one act way back when.
Glfuiaohfdahfjdsa I was hoping everyone had forgotten that I ever wrote that shit and that I would never be called accountable for that amateurish, sentimental piece of shit. FIUEIRU*EUIDSJK:FJDIS89ewfajdsifoew8aufdiskf;ad[f8ds9hhjakf.
That said, I don't know if I can answer that question. My experience of living as a human being in general has changed a lot since then, so it is hard to say. In terms of atmosphere, well, there are bars everywhere and everyone smokes, so that part was pretty right one. I have been to the Verti-Marte (it's on Royal Street), and I can say that it is not a sort of romantic market but actually a junked up old corner store where you can but unedible to go food and whiskey by the bottle. Less young romantics, more young desperates, myself included.
