[QUOTE="Techster, post: 967684, member: 360"] I agree with you 100% that our opinions are based on preference. It's rare that everyone has the same tastes in food, culture, arts, etc. New Orleans is definitely a great city, but it's my opinion (emphasis on "my") that given NO's hype, it just doesn't deliver. That's not to say New Orleans isn't a place worth visiting, it most definitely is...and I highly recommend it to anyone that's never been. From elementary through high school I visited NO almost every summer to visit my mother's childhood friend, and I cherish the memories I made running around the city with my "cousins". I'm in my early 40's, and the older I get, the more I value history and tradition. However, I'm also a person that believes in reinvention and progression. It's great to see a once crime ridden neighborhoods like Old 4th Ward in Atlanta (where I live) reinvent itself into a great place to visit and live as opposed place people avoided. Savannah has become one of my favorite quick getaways from the city due to its location on the water (saltwater fishing is one of my favorite pastimes) and how they've reinvented themselves but kept its old founding roots. Sure there's some commercialization going on, but the joy I get when I go to Savannah and you can visibly see how the old and new are mixing harmoniously as you walk along the river. I find that to be a great balance of how you can reinvent yourself but stick to your roots. There's no right or wrong answer to this discussion. It's just a matter of preference. [/QUOTE]
