I lived in NO for a number of years and I`ll bet I`ve been to 7-8 MGs. Those shootings, while tragic, are far from the norm at MG, most especially where these occurred. Interestingly, MG is one of the SAFER times of the year when it comes to serious violence. No question that NO is a violent city, but like all cities, unfortunately there are places you have to avoid. Just curious Brett, ever been to NO ?
