Night Shift
Our waitress gave us a good tip – to go around back* and look in the window to watch the beignet-makers at work.
Café du Monde is open 24 hours a day, every day of the year except Christmas. That’s an unimaginable amount of powered sugar. And deliciousness.

Parking is Available
By now, you are all aware of my strong affection for parking garages, aren’t you? Empty ones, in particular. And empty ones at night? Photographer’s heaven!

Laz + Buddie
I am pretty sure you’ve been wondering how a town got a name like “Lazbuddie” – turns out that two fellows Luther “Laz” Green and his business partner Buddie Sherley started a store there in 1924. And naturally, the place became Lazbuddie. (Because Buddielaz sounds silly.)
This is the very location of their store. It used to be the post office, and for a while the only telephone in the community was there.
There are fewer than 200 people in Lazbuddie these days and they’ve all got their own phones. I assume.
