Impressive photos, I want to visit New Orleans one day. Although I wasn't expecting to see so many palm trees in this city.

One thing I don't understand about this city is why is it that it has such a high crime, and many of its residents are so poor. It seems there is always something going to to bring in the tourists. That industry in itself should be bringing in the dollars, and like Vegas should trickle down to its residents (workers) in that industry.

Also among some friends of mine who used to work for Amtrak, New Orleans was the #1 route all of its employees bid for. It was the city most enjoyed on their layover. Yeah it was not Chicago, LA, or NYC, but New Orleans they all fought for.
