Pretty Mid City New Orleans

In a New Orleans state of mind, even the angels dream of living in Mid City.  Mid City is very pretty.  Pretty Mid City, New Orleans, as the kids say, nowadays.



When you live where you belong, there is nothing better than that.  It takes more than a village to raise a child right.  In Mid City, all children get a good education and they see examples of responsible adults everywhere they go in the neighborhood.  

Pretty Mid City New Orleans is the most wholesome of all of New Orleans' neighborhoods.  This statement is debatable, of course, depending on what kind of life you want to lead and what kind of life you want your children to lead.  Mid City encourages love of neighbor and getting along.  Mid City isn't Eden, but, in a lot of ways, it is edenic.  You will find more innocence than corruption in Mid City.  That's what I've found, at least.

No matter who you talk to, everyone in New Orleans wouldn't mind living in Mid City---that's true if they live in the Lower 9, in St. Maurice, in the East, in Milneburg, in Lakeview, in Gert Town, in Pidgeon Town, in Black Pearl, in the Irish Channel, in the Warehouse District, in the CBD, in the French Quarter, in Bienville Basin, in the Tremé, in the 7th Ward, in the Marigny, in the Bywater, in Desire.  Everyone who is familiar with New Orleans more than a tourist is, they love Mid City and they like to spend time there.  It really is nice to live in pretty Mid City, New Orleans.  Home is where the heart is.

Mid City is where it's at.  Mid City is like Central City except it is downtown from Canal Street.  New Orleans neighborhoods are like a box of chocolates.  Visit a different New Orleans neighborhood and it will be an adventure in camaraderie.  Love thy neighbor.    

Nothing bad ever happens in Mid City.  I can't remember the last time someone someone delivered bad news or gossiped or was feeling blue.  Let me think about it....   Nope.

We usually talk about the next pot luck supper or, in season, the next crawfish boil.

Endymion is the best of all the Mardi Gras parades.  If you disagree, you're wrong.  Pretty Mid City New Orleans is prettiest on Samedi Gras.

The Dispersed of Judah Cemetery is in Mid City, between the Hope Mausoleum and Saint Patrick Cemetery No. 2, on Iberville Street.



You never know what you'll find in New Orleans when you walk around any neighborhood.  Mid City, New Orleans, though, that's a different world, the way the City of New Orleans, itself, is a world all it's own.  

You will find plenty of people who will be your friends in Mid City.  I know.  I'm one of them.

Have a great New Orleans day today, wherever you happen to find yourself!
