Street Scenes of Old New Orleans: Canal Boulevard |

This isn't "old" New Orleans, but I included it because this art deco style home had always been one of my favorite houses on Canal Blvd. Though damaged from flooding, it was still standing after the levee failures in August, 2005, only to be struck by one of the tornadoes that hit the city in February, 2006, resulting in the damage you see above. |
