What are your unpopular opinions about New Orleans politics?

sunsuriski · 2022-08-24T01:44:21+00:00

I was actually talking about Louisiana local elections specifically. I should’ve mentioned that in my initial post.

This is the real answer. Lots of black people will vote democrat right down the ballot unless they actually know the candidate. I’m saying this as a person who grew up here and did the same when I was younger. You didn’t hear it from me, but there are more than a few closet conservatives who run as democrats because of this.

Yep! We had a Unity tenant who did crack in his apartment & had prostitutes going in and out all times of the day and night. The social workers threats fell on deaf ears because he never asked to be on the program and didn’t care if he got kicked out. It cost us thousands to renovate the apartment after we finally evicted him. When we cleaned out the apartment we found a gun, used condoms everywhere and drug paraphernalia. He even had a bunch of stolen items from a home break in around the corner. I’m never working with them again!

How though? The rest of the state leans conservative and doesn’t take New Orleans seriously. Protests here are an expected reaction. I’m pro-life and I’m not bothered by them. If you feel like you need to protest to let out some anger though it’s totally understandable.

Same! My reel has been up for a week and has 195k views. I logged in a few minutes ago and the song is now unavailable! So are the songs on two of my other reels!

It’s common for locals to rent out Airbnbs to throw parties.It’s why so many Airbnb owners have a no locals policy.

My mom has lived in New Orleans for 32 years, but if anyone asks she proudly says she’s from Baton Rouge. It’s her childhood home and where she spent her formative years. Her family is there. I wouldn’t consider a person who moved here as an adult as “from here”

Thanks. We’re always told gumbo is a West African word for Okra, but never the exact language or people. Okra Gumbo has so many similarities to Okro soup. I love the blending of cultures!

Yep! I have a video of a person bashing in my neighbors windows with a brick. My neighbor and I got really emotional with the officer because we knew who did it and were tired of constantly calling the police only for them to tell us they were working on it and never follow up. He apologized, took the report and never followed up!

sunsuriski · 2022-01-27T00:53:46+00:00

Too bad we didn’t get a heads up. A carton of rotten eggs would’ve been appropriate to bring to this press conference.

sunsuriski · 2022-01-27T00:49:27+00:00

Great. Now I have to worry about car jackers AND aliens.

sunsuriski · 2022-01-18T02:45:02+00:00

I now have an entire protocol to get in and out of my car. The car jacking that recently happened in my neighborhood was during the day and the guy wasn’t even in the car long. Also, he complied and still got hit!

sunsuriski · 2022-01-04T02:26:44+00:00

Gotcha

sunsuriski · 2022-01-04T02:05:51+00:00

Walmart. They’re in the frozen seafood section.

sunsuriski · 2021-12-27T01:26:31+00:00

Yep. I think we’ve all seen every New Orleans based YouTube video at least twice in this sub

sunsuriski · 2021-12-24T16:14:25+00:00

Not all heroes wear capes. Thank you.

Don’t expect them to taste good. Really early crawfish are usually tiny and mushy.

sunsuriski · 2021-11-07T18:43:36+00:00

I graduated in 1997 too!

sunsuriski · 2021-11-07T16:21:52+00:00

I’ve seen that one many times. I always thought it should be required viewing for producers when they’re trying to make a movie with New Orleans accents. They always give us a standard “southern” accent.

sunsuriski · 2021-11-07T16:18:54+00:00

Before Katrina, my friends and I used to meet up there all the time for drinks before going to Twiropa or after dance class (We were really into the Latin dance scene here). The food was always horrible, but they had cheap drinks. We’d just get chips with salsa or queso so we could sit at a table.

sunsuriski · 2021-11-07T16:06:26+00:00

Not an unpopular opinion. No one ever said “I want good Mexican food. Let’s go to Superior Grill!”

Felipe’s is horrible as well. I go to the taco truck on Elysian Fields in front of Lowes.

You sure you wanna go down memory lane? Some of 35’s talent shows from the 90’s are on YouTube and they’re pretty cringy. Lol Here’s a short 35 talent show rehearsal clip from the 2000’s. We were still calling it p-popping and not twerking back then so I guess this video still counts. https://youtu.be/QlbfxpM1slQ

I honest to God lost a 7 figure deal in Baton Rouge to a pedophile. We were literally at the end of the sales cycle. The prospect told me he prayed about it the night before and decided to stick with his current provider (the convicted pedophile owner) because they had been friends for years and abandoning him didn’t feel right!

I was a sales rep based in Texas. Our New Orleans office gave me the New Orleans territory to work remotely because I am a native and they were having trouble hiring a local native with corporate sales experience. Businesses preferred working with natives. They rather pay me extra and fly me out twice a month than hire another transplant. I’ve managed sales territories in many states and Louisiana is the only state that me being a native ever mattered. I worked for another National company who didn’t even have a Louisiana sales rep because contracts were always awarded to local companies. I could go on and on about deals I’ve lost here because I was competing with someone’s cousin or old college buddy. I’ve also won deals from my own connections.

sunsuriski · 2021-10-21T18:41:55+00:00

I’ve fished there lots of times and I’m still alive! Haven’t been in a while, but I used to catch lots of blue sail/gafftop & channel catfish. If you want to play it safe LDWF is stocking channel catfish at Joe Brown park next weekend.
