Reply #100: I was there in '91, loved the city [View All]

my husband had a conference and I tagged along. I don't drink but we knew we weren't in Boston anymore when we met friends at the bar and suggested that we go explore the city. The friends wanted to wait until they finished their beers. The bartenders said she could put the drink into a paper cup and we were good to go. Shocked Yankees! In a lot of ways, NO was the opposite of my hometown and I loved it. (I love regional differences. Long may they live!)

I had the sedate tour of NO. Bookstores, Grey Lines tours, musuems and gift shops. I broguht home books, artwork and music, sigh ! (Hey, NOLA had geeky tourists as well. I loved the history of the place and the awesome art and music.)
