Amari Cooper’s nose

Dude, don’t take this the wrong way, but if you don’t like New Orleans because “It doesn’t smell good”, you ain’t doing New Orleans right.

    OK Senator I’ll lay it out for you
    Senator in N.O. is drinking.Maybe not drunk but drinking=no smell
    Cooper in N.O. not drinking = smell
    The street sweepers on Bourbon St on Sat a.m. do not have a pleasant job

      +1 It smells like @ss in the morning when you are sober (especially a humid summer morning), and smells like a rose when you are sh*tfaced at 2am.

    But where else can you see kids spinning bicycle wheels on their heads?

    The place is a dump, if not for the debauchery there would be no reason to go

    I love New Orleans, but it does smell like the locker room at a really shitty gym.

    Maybe the best live music in the country…even on Bourbon St. the bands are pretty good…but Tipitina’s (corner of Napoleon Avenue and Tchoupitoulas Street in Uptown) and the Maple Leaf are magical.

    Bourbon St when its crowded smells like whiskey, sweat, cheap perfume and Cajun food, even in January the Quarter has its own atmosphere…like a slightly different planet.

    Smells bad? I dunno, man, just smells like Nawlins to me.

      The Quarter doesn’t have the best smells unless it’s mid-day (then it’s as clean as it’s going to get and you can just smell the food.) But it’s the most touristy spot too. I’d say he should venture to other parts of New Orleans to really enjoy the trip, but I really don’t want too many tourists finding out about ’em.

    We’ll gladly switch places with the Tide if they would like. It sounds like our guys in the early 80s complaining about another trip to the Sugar Bowl when we were playing for the ’82 national championship.

    My wife asked me what the smell was on Bourbon street. I told her it was 300 years of people pissing on the walls.

    I’m with Cooper. And I’ve never cared New Orleans myself. To me it’s so,etching you either love or don’t like at all. I get that it has a unique culture etc. I just don’t care for it. You can go a lot of places and drink a lot and experience that place’s culture, scenery, food, etc that are a lot more enjoyable in my opinion. And yes it does stink down there. But to be fair, it stinks pretty bad in downtown Athens first thing in the morning before the garbage truck and gotten all the garbage from the bars’ previous night’s worth of business and I love Athens.

    The prospect of just one more meal at Mother’s is the reason I continue to live. I still mourn the loss of the Talley Ho on Royal. Their boudin tasted like if angels pooped manna while backing up ‘Fess playing “Tipitina”.

    More bars per city block than any other place in the world other than Dublin, Ireland.

    Took my daughter when she was 15-16 so she wouldn’t be overwhelmed in a college visit. She saw some scantily clad women come out of a bar and said ‘Dad, I’ll never dress like those girls with my boobs hanging out in plain view’. To whit I said, my dearest daughter – ‘What makes you think those were girls?’. Ahhh, what an expression on her face…

    10 years later she lived on Haight street in San Francisco and said it was weird and wild, but nothing holds a candle to New Orleans.

    Stumbling out of Harrah’s at Dawn & staggering back to Louis Armstrong Park will certainly assist one in clearing their constitution such that Breakfast is in order. 🙂 When the pumps stop is when it gets a little rough for tourists in the Quarter but if your drinking at the Olde Absinthe, it won’t matter.

    Good Lord. Seriously, it’s NOLA! It’s awesome! (Just don’t wander too far outside the touristy areas if you want to live) The fact that Cooper doesn’t get it is what makes it all the more awesome. Sign me up anytime.
