Well, the mystery is solved… I think.
Interesting fact that I didn’t know:
Tulane University has a significant Jewish student population. Approximately 44% of the undergraduate population identifies as Jewish, making it one of the highest percentages at a non-Jewish university.
I think he was able to finish off his last class before unenrolling, so undergrad byu, grad Tulane - he’ll need it since he’s not an NFL caliber qb.

Tulane is a great University in a gorgeous area on New Orleans. It’s known as Jewlane lovingly. New Orleans has a pretty awesome Jewish community. I love hanging in New Orleans during Easter which is sort of weird to say in a post about the Jewish community. Great weather and the parades I prefer to Mardi Gras. New Orleans is easily one of the best American cities culturally.

I have never been to New Orleans. The only impression I have is from people that have visited the French Quarter. Maybe I have just aged out of things, but the stench of booze, urine, and vomit no longer appeals. I do hear the cuisine is amazing.
Now get off my lawn!

Enter me. When you want to go you can miss all of that and hit museums, art, Football, Basketball, Food, history of plantations (all the bad stuff), gator tours, history of the Spanish, French and Italians in the city etc. The Easter parade is more locals and is very family friendly.
The music and the theater of the city is great.

The garden district is nice. The touristy areas are a visit them once and/or get the good food in the area (central grocery for muffuletta, can get beignets a couple spots in the city instead of right at Jackson square). French quarter - walk through then on (unless stopping at Gumbo shop). Due to the humidity and stuff, there are a lot of areas that need a good power washing, but it is a cool city with the French influence and yes, the food is amazing.

I really like what Whitney Plantation does to show the True Southern History:
It also ties it to not being just a “south” problem.

My buddy who used to live in NOLA calls it ‘The Land of a Thousand Smells’ and it makes me laugh every time I think of it.
