In Heart Like Water, Joshua Clark speaks of a moment without a single sound. The city is a corpse, not even the hum of flies attending it. The undercurrents of the living city simply ceased.
The morning after Hurricane Gustav was a huge relief, but also a disappointment. I was all ready to sneak in, flash my press pass, etc. to return to New Orleans, but none of that was necessary.
You Had to Be There… No, I Mean – RIGHT THERE. After Jazz Fest this past spring, what could be cooler than yet ANOTHER musical free-for-all in New Orleans, at Halloween! We just had to check out Voodoo Fest this year, and I’m sure glad we didn’t miss it.
Thank God I made notes. I swear to you, every single day something unusual happens in New Orleans, and I find myself unable to remember most of them when I want to write a blog.

What you probably don’t realize about the French Quarter is how easy it is to live here. If you come for a visit, you’ll never even know that it’s a geniune neighborhood.Within these twenty blocks, there are hundreds of actual residences, hidden behind closed shutters, garage doors, iron gates and other forms of distraction, real people live here – not just Brad Pitt and What’s-Her-Name and other millionaires and writers and artists.
I can’t help but get nostalgic for New Orleans when I think about all the lovely outdoor spaces we enjoy so much. With our mild winters, inspiring springs and tropical fall seasons, sometimes we forget… summer is inevitable.I can’t help but get nostalgic for New Orleans when I think about all the lovely outdoor spaces we enjoy…
Our beautiful office on Camp Street is another perk. We rented a space that was a “fixer-upper” last summer, adding some new flooring, fresh paint, and new décor. Now it’s a cozy and attractive three-suite office with an enviable address, downtown between Poydras and Canal, in the heart of the business district. Since Jen and I both spend a lot of time thinking about our wardrobes, it gives us an excuse to dress up for work, eat in all those great nooks and crannies around the CBD and become familiar (i.e. “research”) all the interesting places our clients want to know about when they arrive in New Orleans.
Two days a week my three-year-old, Bryce, goes to day care. He spends the other days with us at the leasing office, but those two days are my window for doing things like… getting a hair cut.
Still, it’s during the work week, so it’s great that I found City Looks salon, right across the street from the office. I popped over this morning for a trim, and realized that even beauty salon gossip is better in New Orleans…
I will acknowledge that things happened very quickly. The street car line was re-routed and all of downtown detoured around the “progress” for about a year… but still, it was fast and efficient, and completed in time for the big day.
