Planning a Vacation To The French Quarter and Need Answers?
Sure, there’s a ton of information about New Orleans online. Still, there are sometimes questions you need a local to answer. One of the often overlooked resources is the local paper’s website, which has forums for each neighborhood or area of the city.
The one for the French Quarter is called the Vieux Carre forum. (Vieux Carre means ‘old square’ and is what the French called the area when they ran the joint.)
To ask a question, you’ll need to register for a screen name. It’s free. Then post it and check back later for the opinions of the locals. You don’t need to register to read the posts, though.
Be warned, however, that this forum has its fair share of trolls and disgruntled out-of-towners trying to scare tourists with bad advice. These will soon be exposed by the helpful posters, though!
