| Welcome! This site is a work in progress, please visit often to see the new pages that have been added. I already had a collection of vintage New Orleans photos online, but, after the levee failures, I felt a need to create a series of pages that would enable me to devote more attention to specific places, customs and groups of people, with the emphasis still on old photos, but including some of the city's rich and fascinating history. In this way, I can provide a more complete picture of my historic, unique and wonderful hometown, the grand old lady by the river, New Orleans. She has given me so much. This is my gift to her.

| Is the U.S. Corps of Engineers in charge of a levee near YOU? The Corps has admitted that 122 levees across the country could be vulnerable. ARE YOU AT RISK? Visit Levees.org - holding the U.S. Corps of Engineers accountable for the catastrophic failure of the levees in Metropolitan New Orleans on August 29, 2005 - what Dr. Ray Seed, Geotechnical Engineering, University of CA at Berkeley, describes as "The worst engineering disaster in the world since Chernobyl."

| The category titles are not listed in alphabetical order, but I've made an effort to alphabetize the list within each category. There are still many pages which - like the city itself - defy categorization. The site is intended for leisurely viewing, with one page or subject leading on to another, but I believe my recent re-working of the page will make it a bit easier for those who are searching for a particular place or name. (To search for a word on this page, click Ctrl + F or click 'Edit' on your toolbar and then choose 'Find on this page.') |
