St. Patrick’s Day at Molly’s On The Market

Irish Flag Sidewalk at Molly's On The MarketIt’s St. Patrick’s Day weekend here in New Orleans, and folks are already wearing green.  Tonight’s parade–which I missed in favor of a concert–took place here, at Molly’s On the Market on Decatur.  I saw people painting this flag and shamrock on the sidewalk a couple days ago, and already it looks like more than a parade has walked all over it.  It’s amazing how quickly a drunken crowd can take down some sidewalk art.  Continue reading →

Future Trump Condos in the CBD

The New Orleans Board of Trade

Riding back from the Quarter through the Central Business District today I actively saw the New Orleans Board of Trade building for the first time.  I am surprised that I haven’t noticed it before, because surely I’ve ridden past it on one of my many trips up Magazine from downtown.  Continue reading →
