Mardi Gras season is comming soon and the Christmas season is always enjoyable. There is an event where gaint bon fires are set on the banks of the mighty Mississippi on christmas eve to help guide Santa from the gulf to New Orleans.
Yes there is much more than just Bourbon St.
Travel quizz, in Jackson square is a Statue of Jackson on his horse. There are two more copies of this Statue in the USA where are they?

FredZ - my son in law was a Jefferson Parrish Deputy and stayed during Katrina. He worked about 20 hrs a day for a month, got a week off and went another month. He never got paid the OT and relocated to Denver PD. And we get to go to Denver in the snow instead of NO during Mardi Gras (I probably should have paid his missing money!)
