Peter my husband worked in a Nuclear Power Plant in New Orleans in 1979 . Louisiana, had plenty of work in the Electrical Industry so we lived there for one year. In our opinion New Orleans has very hospitable and welcoming people, we never felt as outsiders being New Yorkers. We experienced Mardi Gras unfortunately not in New Orleans at that time the police were on strike and only The city of Gretna,La. had the Mardi Gras celebration and I will tell you it gets pretty crazy at least in 1979 did. However,we enjoyed the experience at that time. Bourbon fun street ! As mater of facts I just found out that Elvis filmed a movie on this street. Interesting and creative man the tribe/shop owner, it was a pleasure to listen to. Very sad and big disaster Hurricane Katrina caused,so many lives lost ! what a big Catastrophe! We thank you for the video Peter, also thank Christopher amazing interview. You bought back some memories, as always your videos are so interesting and educational. Arrivederci!

I live in New Orleans and was raised here and it was great to watch but me being here, there is so much more to know and to see, I’m still learning and discovering each day, it is impossible to catch it in one video, it has so much history, and so many famous historical places that isn’t in this video as well. Hospitality and culture, the good and the ugly, and the food, if you come to the city you will want a budget for food, and don’t sleep on the hot plates look em up, that’s most soul cooking of Louisiana gems you can get at a time saver or corner store for 8-10.99. Most places you don’t even have to hit the restaurants because the corner store is cheaper and has family hospitality, and pass down recipes. Look for the hole in the walls always But if you want a po boy aka “poor” boy gotta go to parkway avenue for a good first timer, it’s a experience, Obama and bush showed a visit, probably some of the best po boys in the city yaheard me ⚜️ go all the way and get em dressed all love always ⚜️

His live-and-let-live honesty about all things great and in need of growth in the city has further convinced me of New Orleans' charm and how much I can learn from it. This city is a national treasure and its people are gems, and they deserve so much more than they've been served.

Interesting, as always, Peter! Having lived and worked in New Orleans for a bit, my tour might be completely different! The food scene in New Orleans is legendary and your host barely touched on it! It’s literally one of the top culinary cities in the world! Galatoire’s, Commander’s Palace, Tujague’s, Antoine’s, all of the Brennan restaurants, Pascal’s Manale, Acme Oyster, and hundreds more! The music scene is equally legendary and not really mentioned here either. You can literally hear anything from Voodoo Swamp to High Opera within a few blocks of each other, but the funk is what New Orleans does best!

New Orleans native, now live north of Lake Pontchartrain for the past 35 yrs... A note about the 9th ward. Many houses were owned and past down through families. After owners died , no succession was done, ownership was not officially transferred. Those families who lived there had no proof of ownership of the property. Therefore they received no help from fema. They never had insurance. They lost everything. Katrina affected us all in ways that are never forgotten. I love my city but it's nothing like it used to be. I carry our culture of New Orleans forever in my heart, we are so much more than Mardi Gras and jazz fest. Great job Peter. ❤❤

Music and creativity are alive in New Orleans like nowhere else! Back in the 80s I was a tourist there, and had the pleasure (honestly, it was a Spiritual experience) of spending an evening at Preservation Hall; listening to world class musicians. The people in that town seem to be alchemists that can transform the energy of corruption into fuel for triumphal, joyous expression. Thanks Peter, for letting us spend time with you and the amazing people you find.

Great video Peter, keep doing what you’re doing, please. I grew up in Mississippi (Ridgeland) and one of the infamies at the time for Mississippi (I’m sure other states too) was that the homeless/drug addict/mentally unstable were given one-way tickets on Greyhound buses to NOLA. I remember walking down Canal Street and you couldn’t walk a block without interacting with at least a handful beggars or individuals having full conversations with absolutely no one. I just hope they’re still not doing that and instead or investing time and effort into helping those in need

Correction: the Cathedral is named for St Louis IX, who is the only canonized king of France (not Louis XIV). Louis IX was renowned for upholding the rights of the sick and the poor against the wealthy and powerful. He established the presumption of innocence in the legal system (a major protection for the lower classes) and was know to serve food from the palace to poor during much of the year, often in person. He is widely considered to be among the best European monarchs in history.

Christopher suggested at 15:30 to watch the Rex Comas Ball which I did. The 2024 version on WYES on yt is fascinating. As it's over 4hrs I watched at high speed and fast-forwarded lots of parts, like the debutantes parts but it is well worth it. I invested about 30 minutes or so. Hearing about Lafcadio Hearn who sort of put New Orleans's culture on the map. He had a huge impact on the history of it and learning that he hasJapanese grandson and a Japanese museum dediocated to him is incredible. The costumes for the ball, the floats, the gowns were just fantastic with the History behind it all. I also glanced at the 2023 WYES video but it appeared to be like the 2024 version.

Pete, you hooked up with a true gentleman and incredible tour guide. I was born in NOLA and grew up there, and I learned something from Chris. Even still, with all that Chris took you to see, you only got a few of the highlights. There is so much more to New Orleans and its history & unique culture. I took a couple of friends of mine to New Orleans on a little trip, one from Austin TX, the other from CT. We had 5 days, and at the end of our trip they both said we have to come back. That was a couple years ago and we still talk about all of the things they didn't get to experience. New Orleans is a truly unique gem, not only in American but in the world. One little addendum I'd like to add to this tour - the US Army Corp of Engineers isn't responsible for the levy breach - Since I was a kid, and I was born in 79, I had heard from all of my elders that the levies would eventually fail because they were haphazardly and insufficiently constructed due to budget denials from the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. The reason the levies were not anchored was because the Federal Government DENIED the funding to properly construct the levies. My family, my elders, and I all knew, for certain, that the levies would fail if tested. There is a lot to be said about this subject, but I'll just leave it here. Thank you for your incredible series on my neck of the woods. You did a great job.

@@doctorj2u2 I think you're missing the point - the error wasn't an accident. I didn't build those levees, yet I knew they weren't anchored. For decades the city was attempted to get the Federal Government to upgrade the levee system and they refused. They were built to fail. We knew they would fail, they knew they would fail. The US Corps of Engineers can only due what it's ordered and funded to do. I hear the word error, I think accident or mistake. There was nothing accidental about it, no matter what some clown said in some hearing being conducted by other clowns.

I was a public school teacher in new Orleans for almost ten years, man I have some stories. One of my favorites though was a student I taught who had several learning disabilities - he was a Mardi gras Indian, as was his whole family, and he would bring in his beadwork and hand bead in class to help him focus. It was beautiful work. One of my favorite kids. I was always happy to be a part of his story. I think about him often and hope he's doing well. Unfortunately I have many many former students who are not doing well. New Orleans is a hard city, beautiful and hard.
