A guy who makes Role-playing games has criticised a map of New Orleans for being "unrealistic"...

Yes, the maps are real. Clearly, if true, he had not travelled the area; nor dies he realize that much has changed with regard to the land and the water near NOLA in the past 50 years.
NOLA born and Raised. Loyola, 81.

Or to borrow a phrase “...you can’t make this stuff up...so real because it is true...”
