I saw this online and had to share.

I have seen other lists, but I like this one most of all.

We are having one of those lovely “slow mornings” here in New Orleans. Eventually we will stroll down to Cafe during Monde for coffee and beignets.

At 1:00 we’ll be in the audience for one of our favorite jazz pianists, Richard Scott, followed by a late lunch at Mr.B’s and then a concert at the St Louis Cathedral at 6:00.

I have yet to do any Christmas shopping, unless a jar of spices for the annual Christmas gumbo counts.

I am having trouble writing this post. Oh, the internet! So I will leave it here and get on with my quiet morning.

The French Quarter is undergoing a badly needed facelift of some streets and sidewalks. There is a lot more to do. I cannot believe the disintegration of the sidewalks on Decatur and Royal. Bourbon Street is being “repaired”, supposedly for the benefit of the Superbowl visitors.

This special historic area of the city has been neglected and has lost a lot of its charm.

We still love it, having experienced its better days.

But I find it sad.
