Living in New Orleans

November 11, 2011

When you live in New Orleans, it is nice to come home.  New Orleans, which was already good to start with, is getting better.  Some things look the same while some other things are brighter.  Everything is better.  The best things in life are free.   

I was talking with a neighbor yesterday for an hour.  She's lived in her house forty years.  We've only been open for business for a year next month.  She said, "This is the nicest this neighborhood has been in forty years.  Everything is looking up on Esplanade Avenue.  Did you hear Whole Foods is coming back to our side of town?"

A lot of things are brighter on our block.  The seasons change and the time goes by.  Everything just keeps getting better and better.  It is very nice to live in New Orleans.  It is nice to come home in New Orleans.

There is something in the air in our neighborhood.  It is hard to put your finger on it, but something is going on.  It is something good.  It is like a kiss.

We don't know whose car that is, but whoever you are, you are welcome.  Good guests make good company in a colorful city.

In August, it rains for at least a few minutes every day in New Orleans.  When it stops, there are rainbows.  That is one of the things that make it nice to call New Orleans home.  The other reason is the sunshine.
