The Quarter is going to be fine. The entire city is going to be a much better place. People have been living in poverty for generations. They don't know any better. They got into a rut, like a bad marriage, and needed to have a light shined on it. ... Truly, I think this is going to be a blessing for some of them. -Finis Shelnutt

I'm not leaving. The people who live here and love it have kind of a carnival-like quality to them. Nothing much bothers us. If I left the Quarter, I'd only get depressed.
