CBD and French Quarter looking good

Considering everything that's been going on in the city, the new trash collection company is making the French Quarter and CBD clean. This photo taken this week shows the newly redone Customs House on the newly redone Canal Street. As you can see the new palm trees are up, the new sidewalks are in, and there is no trash anywhere. Now we just need to keep it up!!! And also if this one part of the city can get cleaned up maybe there is hope for other parts as well.

Zeus on Metairie Rd.

It's Carnival Time!!

This year saw the kick off to Mardi Gras early with some special routes.

On Saturday the Krew of Zeus rolled on the former traditional Metairie route to celebrate their 50th anniversary. Zeus was the first night parade to roll outside of Orleans.

The parade began at 41st Street and Severn (Rummel High School) and turned right on Metairie Road. Then it took a left on Bonnabel to Hesoid Street and then turned back from Bonnabel to Metairie Road, and ended at Focis Street.

So, I was there with my camera to catch a parade on Metairie Road. Enjoy and Happy Mardi Gras!
