    The other Will Smith was cool before he went full Hollywood.
    Showbiz has a way of changing folks. I liked him best at around the time the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air transitioned from Aunt Viv-Janet Hubert to Aunt Viv-Daphne Mawell Reid, that was Will Smith's prime to me.

    That city seems like it was not meant to be.

    Place is cursed.

    That State is a mystery to me. Some of the sweetest, kindest people I have ever met but the willing acceptance of graft and corruption is just astounding. It's like it not even a part of the US.
    Natives of that State care to explain...?

    The criminal element gives the city a bad name, but if you keep away from those certain parts of town, it's fine. That goes for many cities in the U.S. I've lived in New Orleans my entire life (except college). It's true that the people here are nice and hospitable. There's also always something fun to do here on a given night, which makes it such a tourist city. I've been to most major cities in the U.S. and most just feel so generic, with no culture or personality. New Orleans has a certain personality that makes it feel different. San Antonio is similar. As far as the political corruption, it is quite baffling.... hence the nickname "the city that care forgot".

    What astounded me was as I went into different neighborhoods, just a couple of streets over, and the neighborhood became noticeably more sketchy. SA is more segregated. Been to NO a number of times and everyone says good morning and seem super nice. The food of course is ungodly good. Oyster poor boy, damn...

    Tulane seemed interesting. Lot of Jewish kids undergrad from the NE there, I had no idea. Their Epidemiology Graduate school is top notch. So many private school kids with various uniforms... Quite different.
