I rode my bike down to the Quarter tonight, hoping to see some Saints fans getting their party on after a nice win this afternoon. As I walked my bike down Bourbon Street I noticed quite a few Bush and Brees jerseys, and some folks decked out in Atlanta Hawks gear, but all in all, it seemed a quiet night. Continue reading

House on Prytania and Marengo
I am back in New Orleans after a lovely holiday drive through Texas to visit friends in Houston, College Station, and Austin. Going away always makes me happy to be back home, and today I was especially pleased to get to hop back on my bike to ride to work, lunch, and then home again. Continue reading
Topiary Bull on St. Charles
It’s a stormy day here in New Orleans, but I made it to and from work on my bike before the downpours. I stopped on my way home to snap a picture of this topiary bull in the yard of a fancy house at St. Charles and Arabella. Continue reading
House at St. Louis and N. Prieur
It was a crisp, sunny day in New Orleans, and I took the Saturday for a nice, long bike ride around town. There was a bazaar over on Broad and Bienville, so I rode down to the Quarter and then over toward Mid-City on St. Louis. Continue reading
House on Delachaise and S. Liberty
It’s a beautiful day in New Orleans. I can’t believe how warm and sunny it can still be in November. I zipped home from work this afternoon on Willow and then took a right onto Amelia to head toward the river. I passed this house near the corner of Delachaise and South Liberty. Continue reading
Shipping Container at Delachaise and LaSalle
Riding home from work today I passed this shipping container sitting outside a house. This is a fairly common scene around New Orleans as people still have trailers in front of their homes and portable storage units are parked all over. Continue reading
Bus Stop at Freret and Cadiz
Sometimes I really don’t understand the rebuilding priorities in this place. There is so much to be done. Just today on my ride home from work I passed a decaying house with missing doors exposing a moldy high chair, stacks of old newpapers, and a spare bike tire that particularly caught my eye. Continue reading
Barack Obama Bus on Chestnut
I was riding up Chestnut on my way to work and saw this Louisiana for Change/Barack Obama bus. Yes, the election is coming near, and the town is flush with lawn signs, lapel pins, and stickers. Continue reading
Power Pole Repair on Marengo St.
I took a leisurely ride home from work today, eschewing the St. Charles Highway for smaller streets through Uptown. I took a left at Marengo toward the river because it is one of the smoother side roads Uptown. Continue reading
Staircase at Baronne and Amelia
Today is a beautiful fall day in New Orleans. In other words, it’s in the eighties and sunny, with clouds dotting the sky just enough to offer shade when you need it. I rode my bike home from work today down Freret St. rather than St. Charles, and I’m glad I did. Continue reading
