      SAMME! Born and raised, had to leave kicking and screaming 15 years ago and haven't gotten it over it, the pain of not being home, so I come back as many times a year as I can;) She isn't just a city. She is our HOME.

    God I love this city
    There's no place like new Orleans
    Daughter of France and Spain
    Then adopted by America
    A mixture of culture and tradition
    The music the history the atmosphere that humidity you feel in the night
    And that food oh Lord the food
    Long live the queen city of the south maybe America itself

    If you love old New Orleans, check out the novel Jazz Baby by Beem Weeks. The story is set in 1925 New Orleans and Mississippi. Well researched and true to the era. First person POV as told by 13-year old Emily Ann. Part Pretty Baby, part To Kill A Mockingbird. Brilliant story telling. Really captures the feel of the Crescent City.

    My Mom's family came to Louisiana before New Orleans existed. Captain Jaun Ronquillio sailed up the Mississippi River all the way to Missouri surveying the land on either side of The Big Muddy. He settled in what was founded as New Orleans and had over a dozen children. My Great Grandfather was a Chief Engineer on the Ferries that transferred Trains and all the goods & commerce they moved across the country before the Huey P. Long bridge was built. My Dad was an Engineer on the Thomas Pickles.

      New Orleans was founded 1718. Nobody "sailed up the Mississippi River all the way to Missouri" until a waaay long time later.

    i know they exist somewhere...funny thing is, nothing at all has changed in the scenes in front of the cabildo, the little alley...the only difference seems to be the model t's and the fashions. of course so much has happened since 1926, but the feeling remains. i miss home so much....

      @mcmneverreadsreplys7318 Před rokem

      If you are referring to the tall one (mid-screen) I believe it is the D.H. Holmes department store building. There were (and I believe, still are) offices (dentists, doctors, etc.) on the upper floors. This is also the store with the revolving door on the Canal Street entrance.

    After the text in the movie (The preserves memories of Spain and France) that is actually a german american cemetery called St. Roch. You could see chapel in the movie honor of the St. Roch, the healer.
    Ever in the 1920's you see people touring the cemeteries.

    It had a "Walking Beam" Steam Engine propelling it that was 80 years old in the late 40's when my Dad was a young Engineer on it. My roots, and thus love, of New Orleans run deep. It easily rivals any city in The United States of America from an historic, cultural, economic, art, architecture, or musical standpoint. The Big Easy was ahead of the pack as a True Melting Pot presaging the path that America The Beautiful would take as the U.S.A. . Come back to us, if you're thirsting 4 hospitality.

    Only place in existence on earth like it, last city with its own completely unique culture left in the country. So much more than a just city it’s a lifestyle, state of mind, it’s like an extremely wise old man who’s seen so much and only changed slightly over time. Food is second to none, party scene unmatched, it’s been thru so much and even when they think it’s over with like after Katrina, it bounces back and keep going. 504 til the 🌍 blow YAHEARDME
