@nephew501 Get your "culture" straight. What makes NOLA so special, even in the Treme, is it is not about black culture... this is Creole (in a very old sense), Indian, French (and others) blended *together* to make this amazing culture of tradition, food, accent, language, and music that you won't find anywhere else or understand 'til you are part of it. Unlike most cities that segregated their immigrants, natives, freed slaves... NOLA integrated them all into a beautiful, talented melting!

@gruiz73 Nobody knows what the hell is in that it is just a matter of who finds out before its gone

Awesome!!! Thanks so much for sharing. I was in NOLA for the first time ever a few weeks ago.. Went up to a jazz bar called snug harbor. Some guys were playing on the corner. We ended up paying to watch them play outside instead. Man, that's one awesome city. I can't wait to go back and see more of the local scene there.

this is beautiful to see

[applepieandbiscuits]

nice ... NOLA is special ... they should move the capital to New Orleans, or call it the Big Apple, or move the Golden Gate Bridge there, or the Eiffel Tower ... an American jewel, world class.

got to see Rebirth many times, including Joe's Cozy Corner in '96, but never gotten to experience a second line.

Thanks so much for this posting. I miss home so much but this helps to ease the pain of being away. Still trying to come home and rebuild my home. People just don't understand our culture and what love we have for each other. Rebirth always play their souls out!!! GOD bless you for posting this one.
