Notice anything different?
It makes me think of that art market truism about the value of a painting going up after the artist dies, but is it true about the subject as well? I was pretty devastated when I saw the sign had been changed, which is the kind of thing that sets off a chain reaction of feelings about New Orleans in general… like I feel like I’m the only person in the world who can possibly fully appreciate it and never want to see anything change from the way I remember it, even though I don’t particularly want to live there anymore and the place really scares me more than anywhere I’ve ever been. In other words: hypocrisy.


Anyway, I thought Megan (at least) might appreciate seeing the rest of the restaurant.


As you can see, it’s a very prestigious company.


Seriously, though, if the market forces could kill one of my favorite signs then really nothing was safe. So I tried to make a little time in my short visit to quickly record some of my other favorites, which is what I’ll be showing for the rest of the week.

Check out this abandoned Japanese island.
