[I Only Smoke 4 the Cards]

My wife is about to graduate from grad school and her job is in New Orleans. We love the city but don't know much about the good and bad places to live. I would appreciate any advice you guys have on:

(1) good/bad parts of town
(2) if you are renting or know anyone renting in the area
(3) any information you have about NOLA that may be helpful

THANKS!
