Show me someone who wants to vacation in New Orleans, and I will show you someone who has never been there - lormand

In his book "Parliament of Whores," P.J. O'Rourke described New Orleans as a "high crime drainage ditch." This book was published in the late 80s, so it's nothing new.

I used to go to the French Quarter once a year. It’s beautiful!

Grew up in New Orleans, veteran of 24 Mardi Gras and I have attended my last Mardi Gras. I do miss the food and I know where my shoes are.

I am looking three famous signed Mardi Gras posters, that is all I need and do have good collection of “show your t^ts.”
