Talkin' 'Bout N'Awlins

New Orleans Central Business District

There aren't many streets like the one above.  This isn't only because the Central Business District is small, it's also because most streets down there have at least one beautiful building on them.  I was going to post pictures of them all, but there are just too many.  Then, I thought about all the other beautiful streets in the city outside the CBD.    

I thought about telling you about them all, but there just isn't space. 

Use your imagination:

South Miro Street.  Penington Street.  Odin Street.  Agriculture Street.  Music Street.  Panola Street.  Oretha Castle Haley Boulevard.  Poeyfare Street.  Caffin Avenue.  

Keep going...

You can tell us about it over breakfast.  

This used to be a Howard Johnson's

If you're interested, I'll tell you about how the Holiday Inn in the CBD used to be a Howard Johnson's.  It's the one with the clarinet on its side.  There was a sniper up there once, I can't remember if it was a Holiday Inn or a Ho-Jo's at the time, and he was firing a rifle at people in the park in front of City Hall.  That was a long time ago, of course, and nobody talks about it much.  

Good food makes for a good breakfast, but so does good conversation.  Good conversation sticks with you longer. 

If you want to know why the title of today's entry is "Talkin' 'Bout N'Awlins," it's for search engine (Google) optimization purposes.  We're a boutique operation looking to attract a particular clientele.

Until then, we look forward to meeting you.  

A votre santé,
La Belle Esplanade bed and breakfast.
