New Orleans is calling you. Answer that call.

| Trust your heart. You belong in New Orleans. |
I spend most of my waking life in New Orleans so I feel kinda qualified to speak as an amateur expert, albeit one without sheepskin credentials or portfolio. I'm just a regular chap who lives in this interesting city we call home. I put my pants on one leg at a time. I make no claims to greatness. If greatness wants to find me, it knows where I live: in the bright orange house with blue shutters in the 2200 block of Esplanade Avenue.

| We call that a mystery shot in our business. Follow your dreams to La Belle Esplanade. |
We live in a city saturated with serendipity and plump with pleasant surprises. New Orleans is a city that marinates in hopes, prayers, daydreams, idylls, schemes, aims and enterprises, desires, visions, good intentions, celebrations, and attainable aspirations. New Orleans isn't a fool's paradise. New Orleans simmers on high until its broth is extra-concentrated to savory perfection.

My heart goes where the wild egret goes and my heart knows what that egret knows. Wild Egret, Brother Egret, which is best? A wandering fool or a heart at rest?
I rest my head in my bed on Esplanade Avenue in New Orleans. You should, too. Sleep the sleep of the contented. The best memories of all are made on Esplanade Avenue. I have a lifetime's worth of them stashed in my heart. You should add to your cache of treasured memories by staying in our neighborhood when you visit New Orleans. We are close to the tourist attractions but far enough away so that you'll get a good night's sleep and be able to explore the real New Orleans where Orleanians live. Welcome to authentic New Orleans.
Read over this blog post. Read some entries from the archives. Does a regular hotel write a blog like this? No.
