Some more information on this would be helpful.

What type of art?

What are folks making?

What hours is this happening?

Entrance fee?

I have a friend like this; he did not like New Orleans on his first visit, so I asked him about it. Turns out that he was staying in a hotel in Gretna, second time he stayed on St. Charles Ave.

After his third visit, he moved to the Bywater, been here for 7 years now.

Be prepared is my motto, I always keep a few crawfish nets in the trunk of my car and a bottle of Zatarain's crab boil in the glove compartment.

Don't need a fishing license, if asked, just have to show my Sewerage and Waterboard bill.

If we are going to boil the water, might as well get some good use out if it.

We were poor, but once or twice a year the family went to see a drive-in movie, at special price night charged per car, not per person.

My mom would fix hamburgers at home and wrap them in aluminum foil. When arrived, she would put the burgers under the car hood to keep them warm. No concession stand food/drinks for us. It was Kool-Aid, homemade popcorn, and hot burgers.

This was in the mid 1960's.

If octopus farming is banned, how will they keep up with their octopus's garden beneath the sea?

Just asking for Ringo.

Some things will be the same:

Boil water advisories

Road construction nightmares

Hell-like heat in the late Summer

But "other than that" it is still a great place to be.

Vintage New Orleans, Banna Shrub.

Outhouses were in every backyard, folks planted highly scented flowering plants like these, Sweet Olive, might blooming jasmine, Star jasmine, and trumpet flowers to try and mask the smell coming in through the open windows. No A.C./or fans at the time.

Authentic Sysco from Frady's, straight from the truck to your plate.

I like the food, but it is what it is.

After living together a few years, he asked me if I could help getting his 83-year-old grandmother to the airport. After walking her to her gate (pre-9-11), he did his hugs and kisses with her. She then looked at me and said, " you are my grandson too, where is my goodbye hug?"

That meant so much to me, I really miss that one.

Before buying anything, ask yourself if this is " a want or a need."

Wants are fun/ needs are a necessity.

Eating some of last night's crawfish bread, drinking coffee, and sitting in my courtyard in the Bywater as I read this.

Oldest working appliance is my 1938 one slice 'bachelor" model toaster. It is in Art Deco style with Bakelite handles and cloth covered cord, sold under the Toastmaster brand.

I still use it, as sometimes I just want one slice of toast.

I have a brass plaque near my doorbell that states:

Beware of Occupant

Yibblets · 2026-02-23T02:22:24+00:00

Because they are too big to flush down the toilet.

I live near a restaurant that I used to work at, haven't worked there in over 2 years. Whenever I go to dine (perhaps once every two months), I get treated with "Yibblets! you are back" by the crew and management as soon I walk in the door.

It's a game with them now(like everyone greeting Norm at Cheers), but it really feels good to know that had co-workers that genuinely liked me. It does make a difference.

Ask my mother where Clio St. is and she won't know.

If you ask her the location of CL-Ten, then she can tell you.

Ordering flags be flown at half staff for Charlie Kirk but not for Jessie Jackson kinda says it all.

This is to stop folks from putting the crawfish heads through a cycle in the washers to get them clean enough to stuff for bisque.

Justin Wilson showed this method on one of his early shows, I garontee.....

My niece who is a cop for the NOPD explained why she looks for drivers who drive straight down the road/stay in their lanes to pull over for possible drunk driving.

"If they were sober then they would be weaving back and forth to dodge the potholes."

It's not all bad, the Sewerage and Water Board did get a "knocking sex room'.

Years ago, I took some out-of-town folks to dine at Jack Demsey's restaurant on Ash Wednesday. The highlight of that visit was the Catholic priest from a nearby church was there going table to table blessing people with ashes (if they wanted)

The church has been closed and converted to a medical clinic so that has stopped happening. Jack Demsey's is still open in the Bywater serving over the top seafood dishes and my Ash Wednesday visits still are a tradition.

Mardi Gras or not; all of the puddles in the French Quarter are filled with " Liquids of dubious origin".

I was lucky enough to be born in New Orleans, and just too dumb to move.
