Super Bowl Bicycle Share · Bike Easy

Besides the many places to rent or buy a bicycle in New Orleans, it seems that bike sharing has finally come to the Crescent, at least for a short time. Check out Canal or Julia Streets for a chance to see how this works-I love using this system in cities that I visit, like Toronto and Washington DC.

Make My House a Mardi Gras Float by Levy Easterly – GoFundMe

talk about “eyes on the street”!
If you have been to the corner of Barracks and Chartres during Carnival in the past few years, you have seen this house. Always decked out in Mardi Gras finery and welcoming dogs.

Help Levy reach his goal of topping himself with this latest idea for Fat Tuesday. (They also have “porch sales” throughout the year where great deals can be had….)

and get some serious Karnival Karma for helping with this.

Great song, scene from King Creole

Some of the most gorgeous shots of New Orleans ever captured on film. Worth it just for that.

Another amazing picture from local photographer Roy Guste

I approve and buy.

(Found at Crescent City Books on Chartres for a VERY limited time- based on the rumor that few copies are left, told to me by the excellent bookseller and trending author Michael Zell.)
