New Orleans has plenty of statues, This is another very interesting one!

New Orleans is a historic town and been around for about 300 years. This fact alone means there is a lot of history. One of the interesting things is that you commemorate a lot of things through statues. Found this one in City Park enjoying a fall afternoon under the spreading oak trees.

Garden District New Orleans, Developed in 1832-1900 from larger plantations.

The Garden District in New Orleans was developed in the prior before the Civil War and 1900. The area was formerly plantations that were divided into several homes per block with large gardens thus giving it the name of the Garden District. Wealthy English speaking residents moved to the area and loved to show off their new wealth. Over time many of the homes with large gardens were subdivided into small plots, thus increasing the variety of homes you see today.

Warehouse District Favorite, Lucy's Bar and Grill!

Lucy's , the Retired Surfers Bar continues to be popular in the New Orleans Warehouse District. Its been open since 1992. Its actually a small chain of 3 that opened in 1985 by retired surfers. Located on the corner of Tchoupitoulas and Girod at 701 Tchoupitoulas. Its made it in New Orleans so it must have something to offer. Moderate drink prices and food that is good. Dressing up is not needed or required.
Its very normal to have bars and grills in the older neighborhoods of New Orleans. People just walk over to meet other people, have something to eat along with a couple of beers.

Attention to detail! Uptown Victorian New Orleans Homes is full of details! This is an interesting home in Uptown New Orleans so I took the photo and did a little research. Most of the homes with this Victorian style in Uptown New Orleans date from 1870 to 1905. Atttention to detail was a trade mark for New Orleans in this time period. The wealthy wanted to show off their homes as this was a way to say I have made it.

Ferns and French Quarter Balconies, Semi-Tropical Weather makes it all possible.

The balconies in the New Orleans French Quarter that adorn the historic buildings are also a showcase for those with a green thumb. A balcony is a porch to the world to show their skills. This is made possible by plenty of moisture through our humidity and frequent showers. Freezes are rare occurrences and the sunshine is plentiful. The growing season is long with the best weather being October to May. The Mississippi Delta soil is rich in organic materials. The only rocks that we have are imported from other states and countries.
