Except the need to be in a peaceful, beautiful, oak tree laden environment. When I speak of Covington, I speak of Old Covington- not the mess that has sprouted up around the Interstates and Hwy 190- you're correct...that may as well be Metairie.

Have you driven past the hundreds of shitty, run down apartments that make up much of Metairie?


I have, which is why I don't live in Metairie.

I've also driven past hundreds of shitty, run down apartments in Covington. What's your point?

That's what my SO says as well. He grew up here and says it's turned into Metairie since he was a kid. We live away from that part though

In that case, Old Metairie > Old Covington.

We can play this game all day.

So you're comparing the worst of Covington to the best of Metairie. Makes sense.

Oh dear God. Get over yourself. Yep, you're SO much better than everyone on the NS and know exactly what each of the thousands of families living here need and how they can live the same quality of life on the SS. Early 20s, no kids right?

It's not apples to oranges. You can get a much better education on the south shore than the north shore.

Ok then, compare any part of Covington to Old Metairie. Metairie Road alone is nicer than all of Covington. Compare the property values if you'd like.

You made the comment that NS public schools are VERY overrated. This is comical, especially when you compare against SS public schools.
