这一次新奥尔良之行让我看到了另外一个不同的美国城市

Mansions like this one are popular in upscale district, it might be over 100 years old.
Scarlett O'Hara and Rhett Butler live in a similiar one when they goes to New Orleans
for their honeymoon.



Performers in Blues Club




Notorious and famous Bourbon Street in the French Quarter



Street car is fun to ride for sightseeing in Summer, reminding me of the same car in China.


Abandoned House after Hurrican Katrina





Another one in New Orleans, most of asylum are not back to their houses yet.
This town is full of deserted houses and wild dogs.

Leadbelly: Where did you sleep last night?

人生有梦 回复 悄悄话 是的,New Orleans is a city with history. The downtown area is recovering now, but the low-income district is not.尤其是黑人即中的地方,还是真正海水决口的地方。(不是电视上的地方)喔阿到里向走了一圈,十窝九空,一片荒凉。连帮正富不紫助重建,保险又不cover.么有钱,要重建,难!游客是他们最大的收录,这是为啥道理游客所到之处向新的一样,像downtown area, french quarter。Anyway,it will never be the same as before.
