I just got back from New Orleans and the city far outweighed my expectations. It has some of the most raw urbanity I've seen in the south. Many areas remind me of other places(in the country and the world), but at the same time, it's all very distinctive, very... New Orleans. I was originally going to break up my NOLA threads based on uptown/downtown, but everything is mixed up, so I'll just post it how it is.

(I know a lot of this stuff is touristy, but... I was a tourist :cool: )

[xzmattzx]

Nice pictures. I like the residential ones the most.

[ChrisLA]

Very nice photos, the more I see photos of New Orleans the more I ask myself why I never had this city on my top list of cities in the US to visit.

I also just found out, NOLA can be quite expensive to buy a nice loft or condo in the city. I was watching House Hunters (yeah I'm ashame to admit it, but hooked on those home selling, and home remodeling/decorating shows. It give me some ideals on my doing things in my own condo).

Anyway as I was saying I watching this episode in New Orleans, and the units they were showing this client were a bit more expensive than I would have imagine for this city.

[SlidellWx]

Nice shots...glad you had a good time while you were here.

[ady26]

Great city, great to see it reborn from dust and ashes!

[jowens]

I'll Always Love You Nola!!!
