I can't agree or disagree, I haven't been to enough other towns down south - but from my experience, Canal Street is a hole. Bourbon Street is the height of tackiness and if you walk 2 streets either side of it you'll feel like you're in Compton.
I was staying in a hotel on Canal during the SEO conference a few months back. Everyone complained at how terrible it was. They won't be back (at least not that hotel).
But, to the point, I had a wonderful view of an abandoned office building across the street (it was for sale - do I hear $50 epass?) and beside that another lower building was being demolished. The street is full of stores and was in bad need of a cleaning.
On top of that everyone warned us not to walk back to the hotel late at night. We did anyway and it wasn't a big deal - but if this is the main tourist area and supposed to be the "face" of the city, it's not very promising.
