The Gap
Where a building was, there’s now a parking lot filling in the gap.
We lived in New Orleans for a few years; when we first got there, someone gave us these directions: Go up Canal Street, and turn right where the bakery used to be.
Not helpful. Not one bit.

Candle Can’t Escape
Down a little street called Pirate Alley, and in the shadow of St. Louis Cathedral, there’s a certain candle being held captive on a wooden table. A silvery chain blocks its escape.
But, if it DID escape, where would it go?

PS – Tom Robbins’ book Skinny Legs and All was (apparently) in my mind when I wrote this.
Psychic
I guess I think that psychics would not need multiple reminders to not enter right here.

Street Lamps
There are usually interesting things to see in the French Quarter. But rarely do you get to see a convocation of lamps, a herded together in the street and waiting for…something.

Room Views
I was in New Orleans for a few days at the first of the month; my hotel room had views toward the Mississippi River (which was heading toward flood stage) and the French Quarter (which was heading toward being flooded with tourists). So, when I wasn’t in my conference sessions, or occupied with other things*, these were my views:

*No, I wasn’t in bars all the time. I went to an NBA game one night.
