Random photos walking around the French Quarter mostly. Drinking coffee, eating Cajun, listening to live music and drinking cocktails. Need to hit that Carnival one day.

Great NOLA photos. New Orleans is so different from any other American city, which adds to its charm, I think.

Great pictures of the crescent city! We got to stay in the corner apartment overlooking St. Louis Cathedral. It’s one of those with the iron railings. It was probably one of the coolest places we’ve ever stayed. We love N.O., but it’s been a while since we were there.

Nice reminds of what Detroit is currently going through. A resurgence! Thereโs actually a connection between Nโawlins and Deโtoit; both were โfoundedโ by the same person. Antoine de La Mothe Cadillac. Only difference they still speak French in New Orleans, but to find a French speaking person in the Detroit are is far and in between. Other than my trivia/rant, love the pictures! Makes me wanna visit, it is on my list of places to go, esp. on Bourbon St.

Thanks for the information I had no idea. Lol didn’t notice any French influence in Detroit but it’s all over New Orleans, Bourbon is really good fun, would love to do Mardi Gras one day

There has been MANY attempts to get Detroiters-esp. those of the French diaspora, myself included-to learn of its French origins, if not the language altogether. I couldnโt comprehend it at the time, but when I was in elementary/middle/high school, French was mostly implemented in schools mainly because of Detroitโs French heritage (which I found out decades later). There have been boat tours offered points of origin in Michigan and itโs connection to the French (they were cancelled due to COVID). I believe the auto industry and the 1967 race riot killed off what was once known as โThe Paris of The Midwestโ. Again, Iโd love to visit New Orleans, and should I take up French again, Iโll be ready to speak with my fellow โFrenchiesโ in their mother tongue.
