If you’ve never seen New Orleans Scene, the knock off NOLA monopoly from 1979 you’ve been missing out. A lot of the cards are as relevant to the dysfunction of this city today as they were almost 50 years ago.

Also, Bourbon street *literally* is a pedestrian mall after 8pm so what are you talking about

You do realize all the sewers, electrical & utilities are under the streets, right? And that the buildings do have foundations, right? You can literally look 15ft down through the grates under the street. This isn’t an engineering issue

Canal is blocked, but Iberville & Bienville aren’t blocked from turning onto Bourbon. There’s also nothing blocking Esplanade if someone was traveling the wrong way.

The press conferences are over - are we doing *anything* to prevent this from happening again? #bourbonstreet #nola #neworleans

Every Bourbon St bar owner could afford to pay their employees to be off a day or two.

Given that there are still 4 people at large who planted bombs throughout the Quarter, I’d say it might be a little soon for that

Just last night, looking out over the Quarter we were talking about how special this place is, and how lucky we are to not only live here but to have become a part of it. This was a surreal thing to wake up to, to realize happened right here, in our home. Stay home today, be safe.

A little while ago I got to take a peek into Royal St Pharmacy - they said it was going to reopen, but haven't seen it open once since. Was still cool to get a look. #nola #neworleans #frenchquarter #royalstreet

A peek at the King's collection. Beachbum Berry from Latitude has the best tiki collection I've ever seen, including this rare Tiki Bob from Pontchartrain Beach #nola #neworleans #tiki #tikimug #tikihistory #pontchartrainbeach #lakepontchartrain

Chris Owens, the Queen of Bourbon Street, was a New Orleans icon. Known for her dazzling performances, glamorous style, and legendary nightclub, she embodied the spirit of the French Quarter for decades. RIP #neworleans #nola #frenchquarter #bourbonstreet #bourbonst #chrisowens
