i like how when you have a mental picture of the buildings in NO, and the city actually conforms to your preconceived notions

kinda amazed they build and maintain these themselves. charm is one thing, but wouldn't it be easier to buy off the shelf from bombardier?

Such an incredible city, it really is like no other in the US. I was blown away when I visited Labor Day Weekend back in 2013.

The commentary made me chuckle several times... great pics too!

Good job Your Magnificence, da pope.

Thanks for showing us some wayward images of the old Crescent City.

Beautiful set. I do love that city. Plenty of good memories on those streets and bar stools.

My favorite city on this planet, period. I never tire of seeing different, unique perspectives on NOLA. Thanks for sharing!

the flora and the fauna of new orleans are brilliant. there are these massive roaches (i think) that threaten to run up your britches. i swear i wasnt strung out.
