Known as ParadeCam during the Mardi Gras season, Streetcar Cam gives you a window on the corner of Napoleon St. and St. Charles Avenue where the New Orleans streetcars run and Mardi Gras parades begin their route.

I see that Sidney is trying to get his own reality show started on TLC, I think they are calling it "Garbage Men"(Played last night).
Should be interesting and maybe funny if the pilot gets picked up.
Check the cam, the streets are clean. No getting the last word in with you is there buddy.
BTW, I had not heard of the reality show "Garbage Men" and I'm not sure if I want to see it or not.
I don’t know when you went to The French Quarter last but times have changed in regard to trash pick up and cleanliness.
My family lived in NO late 60’s early 70’s. There were no parade barricades back then. Us kids would hit one side of a float for doubloons and beads then run across the street and hit the other side.
Correction, the show is called "Trashmen" and the pilot aired last Wednesday on TLC. Haven't figure out exactly what Sidney is up to yet, but he's good at it ;^)
