Canal Street at Sunset in New Orleans

Band walking through a street in the French Quarter to welcome attendees to a conference dinner. (I think. I don’t know which conference as this was not my own. But they all had similar-looking badges on.)

My former colleague Lucy Bustamante who anchors Fox8 in New Orleans now.

New Orleans is such a fun town. You can just be sitting at dinner and a band suddenly closes down the street beside you.

It’s not a holiday. It’s a Tuesday.
