New Orleans Last Month

[NewsShooter]

When I went home for Mardi Gras I took some pictures of the Crescent City's rebuilding efforts. Here are some nice shots of the French Quarter.

A Jazz Trumpeter playing for tips on the sidewalk by Cafe du Monde


A waitress at Cafe du Monde. It had been years since I'd had Cafe Au Lait and Beignets.


I found another Tennesseean in the neighborhood ... Andrew Jackson


A typical French Quarter Apartment Building. Not all the damage was from Katrina. Some is from Drunken Brawls

Good shots.
Like the trumpet, should have waited for the sysco truck, but we all know you probably didn't even see it until you got home.

(backgrounds do that to all of us)

Thanks,
I thought about that, but then realized ... this is what New Orleans really looks like. I wasn't exactly going for postcard, I was going for reality.

[Bob]

I doubt you'ld find a trumpet player playing on any other street in the world.

Thanks Shooter. I think I'm gonna have to go see Momma soon.

I love Cafe du Monde! Some great shots! If you have more you should post them.

Thank you for posting those. Looking more like the city I remember and love.

Whenever I get around to downloading pictures from my camera, I'll post a few of my New Orleans Mardi Gras pictures from last month. (if they are any good )
