NOLA looks like a warzone and carshow graveyard on I10
« on: October 09 2011, 04:07:42 PM »
Well, drove down to NOLA today for an interview tomorrow.  Holy crap, coming in on I10W it looks like a war zone in the neighborhoods off of the interstate.  There were still old hotels and what not with all the windows/patio doors blown out and the curtains flapping in the wind.

The drive down I65 and I10 was nice because it was basically a non-stop car show as I must have seen hundreds of cars from '30s to the '70s on the interstate today.  And about a half dozen on the side of the highway with wreckers.  Only saw one TR (a GN) on a trailer...

There is definitely no shortage of Chevelles and Cutlasses out there in the world as that is what the majority of the cars I saw today were.  After that it was probably El Caminos, lots of El Caminos.

Let me know next time you are in the area.  I live in Covington just across the lake from NO.

Will do.  I got the job!  NOLA & Baton Rouge are part of my region along with Pensacola & Mobile plus small smaller places throughout AL, FL, LA, and TX.  In about a year we have to decide if we're going to move closer to Pensacola or Mobile.  I'm leaning towards Crestview as I want some semblance of high ground and away from the "surge" of any hurricanes that come barreling through.
