When I lived in New Orleans, there were drive through bars in Jefferson Parish just west of Orleans Parish. You could drive up to a window and get any kind of frozen drink you wanted, any size from a single serving to a gallon, to go. People think you can do anything you want in New Orleans. Not so. You will get arrested for urinating in public -- and the charge is indecent exposure, so think twice.

the Hope, BC landslide Thanks. I saw a slide of that landslide during a college geology lecture, but only knew it was somewhere in Canada. Now I'll know where to look next time I'm down there. Ever hear about our 1,720-foot tsunami wave at Lituya Bay? extremescience.com Regarding crime rates, I gotta admit that New Orleans sounds shocking. Here's something I found comparing Canada to adjacent parts of the US... Notice that Alberta, directly bordering Montana, has a murder rate only 17% lower than Montana (1980 Uniform Crime Report murder rate for Montana: 4.0), and 11% higher than Idaho (1980 Uniform Crime Report murder rate: 3.1). Compare Alaska's murder rate (9.7 in 1980) with the Northwest Territories (11.57) and the Yukon (4.57). Compare Washington's murder rate (5.5 in 1981) with British Columbia's murder rate (4.02 in 1980). There are differences, but they aren't always in Canada's favor, as you would expect if gun laws were the dramatic factor that is sometimes claimed. shadeslanding.com
