It was quiet this morning in the
French Quarter, also known as Vieux Carré - or the “Quarter” to locals. The
walk through this community where residents take time to reminisce with
neighbors about times gone by and to welcome visitors in the streets was
pleasant and as exciting as it usually is. We had some interesting
conversations with those who were strolling along just as we did, shared some
laughs, and discussed the Saints…
Intimate and unique, New Orleans’
oldest neighborhood has exerted a spell over writers and artists since the time
of Mark Twain, Lafcadio Hern and John James Audubon.
Hollywood celebrities and software
magnates have joined the residential mix, keeping the glamour up-to-date, but
it is the year-round local residents who keep the neighborhood vibrant.
