Ok, here's the deal. I am traveling to the area in late May to do some research for a novel i am writing. What i need to know are the names of a few very small/ run down type towns within about an hours drive of New Orleans. I need to be able to get the small town feel, true, gritty, dirty, creepy towns you would not feel safe alone in. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
