Just noticed this. In New Orleans as it was, the Quarter was not necessarily the part of town with the most hookers and drug dealers. For hookers try Airline Highway and the hot-sheets motels. For drugs, consider any housing project and its environs. The Quarter was (still is) heavily policed (although some of the police there needed themselves to be policed) and wasn't as wide open as some other parts of town. The current captain of Vice and Narcotics is Timmy Bayard who is a first-class police officer. Whether his minions meet his standards I don't know.
And, of course, the Quarter was not the only part of the city that wasn't flooded. Everything along both sides of the river was OK. BTW the Boomtown casino on the West Bank is up and running, but that is the place where the former bingo crowd goes to play the slots. Not a place for poker players.......
