I'm from the New Orleans area. Lots of time there and generally speaking, Slidell people are as stated above.

Mandeville is the way to go for Northshore living.

You Really need to go eat at Kenney’s in Slidell for a Cajun meal.   It’s a fish market plus restaurant.    You won’t be disappointed.

Born, raised & reside in Nola. I lived in Pearl River, which is just North of Slidell. If you like Slidell now you really would have loved it back in the 80's. It's gotten a lot more ghetto over the last 25 year's. Mandeville, Covington & Abita are the new ritzy areas but property values & cost of living reflect it, big time.

80s - early 2000's Slidell was great. My wife is from there. Post Katrina, all the Chalmette people moved in. Lots or unbridled growth doomed the city.

An ex girlfriends family was from Slidell. I loved it when we visited it too.
Her dad owned a popular karate studio there and as far as I know her sister still owns and manages it after his passing.

Try Phil’s Marina Cafe in Sidell. After my first meal there, I’ve been back many times.

Or if you’re near the NASA Michaud facility, try Vucinovich’s. When 2/3 of the lunch clientele are firefighters and coast guardsmen, it’s good eats.  And has the biggest shrimp PO boy I’ve ever seen.

Generally stop in Slidell every trip to Florida.  Kind of a great place to celibate getting past Nola.  That said, also stop in Scott generally for traveling "supplies".  Yep, tend to do my best to not stop in New Orleans.

Slidell is where a lot of retired cops and military live.  Tons of people that work at Stennis live there as well.

Easy to get around and Sportsman's Warehouse is a great gun/ hunting and fishung store just off I-10.

Much safer than New Orleans and just a half our drive into the city.

Marcos Pizza is pretty good there.

I've had a few work trips to NASA Michoud, always try to get to Vucinovich's for lunch when I can.  The shrimp Po Boy is literally a bun buried in fried shrimp and fries.  And everything I've had there is good.

NASA Michoud is where the B737 did the dead-stick landing on the levee (TACA Flight 110).

We lived down there for a couple of years when I was a kid.  Dad worked at Michoud on the Apollo program.  We lived near what's now the Louis Armstrong airport, my mother hated it and always said it was the worst place we ever lived.  I tried to find our old house once, but it's gone.  From the looks of the area either Katrina got it or it was torn down after.

Ok it seems that I was not staying IN Slidell but it is the closest town.

Unincorporated area on the north shore where rich folk live.

Home last night, Interstate 10 sucks in every possible way. 11 hours to make a 7 hour drive.

Anyway I plan to go back and explore some more.
