from a new orleans local to the iwtv community….
please PLEASE be respectful if you are visiting the city 🙏 this is not just some stomping ground for your yaoi show and people still live their whole lives here — even in the quarter. be respectful to graves, historical monuments, locals, and businesses. be kind and you will get treated kindly back. do not visit plantations for iwtv purposes (i cannot believe this has to be said). we have a great local community and many mutual aid programs if you’d like to help the people here, because this city has still barely even recovered from katrina. but most of all………….
DO NOT STAY IN AN AIRBNB!!!!!!!!!!!
there have already been recent legal fights over airbnb use in the city but it’s been incredibly detrimental to the housing here. please stay in a hotel if you can 🙏 you’ll be closer to the quarter and supporting local tourism rather than adding to our housing crisis. thank you 🙏
