North/south directions

[edit]

The main text refers to Treme as being north of the French Quarter while the description in the summary says it's west. New Orleanians, of course, refer to everything as lake versus river directions because of the layout of the streets perpendicular to the bends in the Mississippi River.

If one considers that the shore of the lake runs east-west in the majority of New Orleans, and the general trend of the river (in spite of the bends) is also east-west, then for purposes of consistency I've made everything on the lake side of something as north and the river side as south.

If someone really hates this because in a compass sense it may not actually be demonstrable, then the change can be reverted but the text needs to be altered to be consistent with the summary. Jlhollin (talk) 02:34, 11 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
