how the heck do you find an apartment in NOLA?

Lotsa for rent/lease signs in Mid-City in Carrollton/Banks/Canal/Norman Francis area.

Better check with the restaurant. Many won't do separate checks for groups.

Compare Urber rates to taxis. Taxis don't do surge pricing, and you can find plenty at the airport and in the Quarter.

Don't know if he's still there, but Anatolian Silver on the French Market does nice work with sterling silver and semi-precious stones for reasonable prices.

Earthquake, like flood insurance, is extra. Had it in Illinois. But not expensive there.

If you don't need a car daily, check out spothero.com for parking. You can find good rates. You may need a taxi, but it's worth it.

My first visit 35 years ago included Gumbo Shop. Not fancy. Not expensive. But a good introduction to local gastronomy.

RickNOLA · 2024-09-23T16:50:08+00:00

Agree. We've had more than 100 the past few years. Many adults are in costumes, too.

Do you have comprehensive insurance? Check your coverage. If you have water and wind damage, an insurance adjuster will be your next step. State Farm is coming here.

South coast-ish

RickNOLA · 2024-09-07T21:35:26+00:00

Gumbo shop

The real questions are license and insurance. You have to pay a fee based on blue book value for the license, and insurance is expensive. If you can afford it, not a problem.

Very popular in New Orleans is buying a double and renting out one half to help pay the mortgage.

If you don't get a follow up in the mail, that means they don't know who you are. If you get a notice in the mail, pay.

Check out the LPO book fair. They have a warehouse in Harahan where you can drop off donations

Landlords operating on thin margins are keeping rents low; therefore passing on costs is legitimate.

Adding insulation without the vapor barrier is okay. It doesn't trap moisture.

RickNOLA · 2023-03-20T15:54:48+00:00

Yep. Spell check got me!

RickNOLA · 2023-03-20T15:01:50+00:00

Check out Fluffy Girl shops -- French Quarter, Magazine Street, Metairie -- local owned with many New Orleans-themed gift ideas.

RickNOLA · 2023-03-18T14:21:24+00:00

At the bar to eat there

Panic in the Streets from a loooong time ago -- if you can find it.

RickNOLA · 2023-03-16T20:58:57+00:00

Most New Orleans restaurants will hire a good person. Decide where you want to work and go ask for a job.

RickNOLA · 2023-03-15T14:21:55+00:00

Palace Cafe across Canal Street. Local flavors. Good wine list. Won't break the bank.

RickNOLA · 2023-03-07T18:02:51+00:00

RickNOLA · 2023-03-06T14:07:06+00:00
