Allow me to re-introduce myself. Exiled from my chosen home, I'm in close proximity to where I was raised. Outside of Houston, strongly tied to New Orleans, still.
I also love how they glossed over night life in the city, too. Don't go showing those audiences even a glimpse of Bourbon Street, now. Just not modern enough. ;-)

Ooooooo... so very White back then.
Damn right. It was another planet. Glad I got off it...but wait, I was never on it...
Is the airport of the 40's supposed to look better than the airport now?
It's supposed to be more "modern", I guess.

I think maybe our new slogan should be ... "New Orleans: Progressive for 1940."
Bourbon Street was much more risque back in the early '60s for much of America's tastes.
My dad driving down Bourbon- "Annie! I don't think the kids should see this at their age."
Mom- "They'll learn about these things anyway."
Now it's just drunken college kids.
