Newsreel documentary from the 1920's with photography and animations illustrating old New Orleans, the Crescent City, at work and at play.

Duelling oaks. Influences of colonial France and Spain. Iron grille work. The old townhouses surrounding open courts.

New Orleans, the industrial city, where ports and depot junctions distribute throughout, and out from, the heart of America.

Culture shipped to & from the world.

And, of course, Mardi Gras, Jazz age style.

  • I love this video... I MISS HOME SOO MUCH. I am actually crying tears of joy because nomatter how much of a Bad Rep they try to give us.... they can' get enough of us. Tina and Ike said it, tourist says it, and I'll DIE saying it. There is no place better to call home than NEW ORLEANS, LA!

  • Paolo,

    New Orleans is still VERY charming.

    Perhaps more now than ever.

    Please do NOT be presumptuous.

    ~P

  • New Orleans is my new home, and I love this place. Thank-you for this priceless piece of my city's history. I hope this will encourage more people to visit. There's no other place on earth quite like New Orleans. And the food...!

  • We are here in New Orleans and not going anywhere. Much NOLA love to all who want to see her continue to prosper!

  • i know they exist somewhere...funny thing is, nothing at all has changed in the scenes in front of the cabildo, the little alley...the only difference seems to be the model t's and the fashions. of course so much has happened since 1926, but the feeling remains. i miss home so much....

  • Wonderful video. So much is still the same. I am so blessed to have been born and raised in the best city on earth. Nothing can kill our spirit here. Nothing. 504-ever!

  • i couldnt help but feel a little cynical when they showed the levee system.

  • Ahh funy video!!! Nice houses... I never been there but thanks it I can see as it was... It sould be a very big city and it looks as it was growing more and more... Interesting... It sould exist more vids. like that one, thanks to posting!

  • Take a pill, Il Duce. Please do NOT be an oppressive, overreactive, preachy authoritarian--it's very presumptuous.
