The Westbank is actually south of New Orleans that most people think about.  Most out of town residents think of the Frech Quarter and the Garden district when they visualize New Orleans.  In actuality, there are more residents who live in modern housing in Metairie, Kenner, and the Westbank (Gretna, Harvey, and Marrero).
