Yesterday the WWL newstruck pulled up as we were all sitting on the porch ending our week with Tin having peanut butter and rice crackers for the first time, and us just starting to relax. CNN had just named New Orleans as one of the ten most dangerous cities in the world and they wanted to know what we thought about it. We gave them an earful – yes New Orleans has long had the nickname murder capital but like my neighbor said that is only worrisome if you are black and poor in this city. However, we all know that unfortunately what happens to one person happens to the community and regardless of your color or status, having the tag line murder capital ain’t pretty at all. However, we’re also the best city in the world or at least one of the top ten and so how do you reconcile the great and the evil?
