(58,785 posts)I've taken a couple of architecture tours. They're not just aesthetically enjoyable but fun because, from the comfy distance of time, some of the stories of the doings in those buildings are jaw-dropping, horrifying to silly, to oh come on, never happen. Guessing NOLA's don't disappoint.

(22,757 posts)smiles because of the memories... I love that town!! ...and I must say that these photos are as I remember the French Quarter because when working there I would get up at 5-6am and stroll the streets... usually about the same time as the street washers
the photo that really got me was the Clover Grill on corner of Bourbon and Dumaine... loved going there for breakfast... best staff ever!!

(58,785 posts)Los Angeles is a wonderful other-world with a special magic before a half million people pour in. For a while I was walking to work there while it was still empty and loved it. Mostly high-rise construction workers busy above and me walking alone below.
In coastal SoCA, the light arrives earlier than here in GA, so that I used to have enough to go for early walks while my urban neighborhood and nearby boulevards were still silent. One of the first things I missed.

I went over there about three weeks after Katrina with a now deceased friend of mine and it looked a lot like it does in those pictures. We had no problem at all finding a parking space!
