Campaign for Restoration
Not only does this church in the French Quarter have regular Masses and other, ordinary churchy things, tourists stop in to check it out. It’s always busy, so I’m sure the ongoing maintenance costs are high. There’s been a church on this site since 1718, and this building’s been here since 1850.
Also, it’s said to be haunted. Père Antoine is said to appear during Christmas Midnight Mass. And Père Dagobert also haunts the place and can be heard chanting the Kyrie on rainy days.
I didn’t see any ghosts, and none have appeared in the images that I made, for whatever that’s worth

Mirror Pool
I am not sure what the actual definition of “bayou” is, but I think it means “like a river, only without a discernible current.” But that lack of a current made the water into a pool mirroring back the building on the opposite shore.

(OK. I went ahead and looked up the definition, so you don’t have to.)
It’s Worth More
This place is just across the street from a Family Dollar or a Dollar General or one of those places that have popped up everywhere; its days are likely numbered, but that may not make them worth more than any other sort of day.

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.
