I lived in "The Big Easy", (actually Metarie- does anyone know Honore Drive, the paved oval that used to be a racetrack?), in the mid-70's. Great music, great food, unique culture and history, interesting people of all races, and a pretty good climate if you don't mind rain. A wonderful place then, and it is still a place to be savored and enjoyed. I return every few years for a weekend, but never for any big celebration. Tourist geeks and freaks may get the publicity- forget that, and go see the Crescent City.

I forgot. "Laissez Les Bontempts Roullez!"

I lived in Columbis, MS for about ten years, but never made it down to New Orleans. I wouldn't mind checking out the food there sometime.
