CONDO IN THE FRENCH QUARTER, NEW ORLEANS, LA

If you have visitors for Mardi Grass, they might consider having a second home in New Orleans to have a place to come to whenever they wish to spend time in our great city. This little condo might interest them. It just came on the market, and it's quite affordable!

ON THE MONEY: DON'T FORGET THESE TAX DEDUCTIONS!

TRANSFORMED FOR THE SUPER BOWL

I LOVE MY NEW ORLEANS!

It feels great to be a New Orleanian these days! The city is breezing excitement!

I went today to the Airport to pick up some friends that came for the Super Bowl, and will stay with me for a couple of days. Since I am always afraid to be late, I got there about 40 min earlier than I should have, and I am so glad that I did. I found myself in the middle of a welcoming party New Orleans style: band playing jazz, volunteers giving out beads and brochures, happy visitors that were simply overwhelmed by our hospitality and therefore were gracious and kind in return.

A lady from Hawaii started a conversation while waiting for her boyfriend who went to collect their luggage. She visited New Orleans once before Katrina, and she was asking me if it’s true that the city was back to normal.  I had a feeling that she was somewhat apprehensive. I gave her my business card and asked her to text me tomorrow to let me know what her thoughts were. I hope she will.

Two young guys from Baltimore were picking up some friends. These two came yesterday, and let me tell you, they are so fond of New Orleans!!! One asked me if I think he could find a job in the food industry here. He doesn't cook, he never wanted to cook, and his mom and his girlfriend had been taking care of that element in his life. He never watches the food shows because that’s not his thing.  He visited two restaurants yesterday and picked up some food from a street vendor. His words: “never tasted anything that good, I’d love to find a job here at a food joint and learn how to cook like that”. What a great compliment to our cuisine!

I am so proud to be a New Orleanian!
