St Roch has been rough for at least 40 years
interred my wife's grandfather in St. Roch cemetery #2 pre- Katrina. Interred granny post-Katrina. Thats area looked rough as hell on both occasions.
When they have to unlock the gate to the cemetery for the funeral party and lock it after you bring the casket in, you're in a rough area.

It was just a relapse. Relapses happen now and then, but crime will go back to almost nothing before you know it.

They have to do that during normal hours? I've got family there (1 and 2) and thought I should visit one day when I'm in town (quick in and out, while carrying) but I guess you need to call in advance?

I guess so. First time I've ever encountered such a thing. And we had a pretty good-sized crowd so its not like it was just a few of us. Even my wife said she wouldn't be visiting the grave anytime soon. And she's a NOLA native and die-hard defender. But even she has her limits.

A lot of the cemeteries have security. Im sure robbery could be part of it. Terrible tourist going in and fricking the place up is a real thing too. Filming weird shite, pissing on tombs, general frick stick stuff.

Older people that lived in area for decades migrated out. Houses became rentals and you know the rest

One of the vehicles targeted in the fires was a delivery van for Bywater Bakery, the business’s only delivery vehicle.
“Yeah, it was quite a morning,” said Bywater Bakery owner Alton Osborne. “Wake up about 2.30. My wife heard something outside, and she opened the front door. This van was literally just totally engulfed.”
Now Osborne says he’s having to pick up the pieces.
“We just had a major King Cake Festival on Saturday, Osborne says. ”And it was really great to have a community come out. It’s a community event we’ve been doing for 10 years. And it looks like we’d have to have another benefit now to get a van. Because, you know, we’re a small mom-and-pop business. This is really going to hurt."

Pre-Katrina I spent time in the Bywater and St. Roch, and knew people who lived in both. Blue collar areas.
Friend of mine had a gun put to his head couple days after Katrina for the gas in his car tank. He bought a house on Mazant back in 2002 for $120k. Back when area of what is now The Joint used be a fish processing plant. Smell of fish has been replaced with BBQ. Now the only fish you smell is from the houses with Pride rainbow flags

Crime never stopped but go check the stats, NOLA crime has decreased each of the last 3 years.

There’s a lot of Mogadishu in NOLA but Bywater is not one of those areas
