Yeah in New Orleans in 95,96 etc. .open air coke,crack,weed,heroin all around ,PCP,whatever you wanted, and it was not just projects, you had people all over the city slinging out in the open,although most kept it as low key as possible downtown, mardi grais was a boom time, people posted up in alleys next to Bourbon Street, asking people that looked like they were not cops(college kids, drunks, etc.) if the neeeded any soft,hard,Her-ron..lol pronounced it like Hair-Ron...lol..weed,and would send a younger kid to go a block away and bring back the drugs..cops were really super corrupt in New Orleans then and a bunch were dealing kilos of coke and shit in the city,jacking dealers for dope, taxing the dealers, some killed dealers when a big load came in the port, and they had 100's of kilos of free blow to sell to their dealers they had busted and not taken to jail-it was like either you gonna sell for us or you going to jail, and we will plant a gun used in a himicide on you,etc..shit like that..shit has settled down a lot since then In new Orleans as far as cops, but the projects still got open air, moreso for crack though..
