well we've finally made the move back to louisiana :!: my fiancee and i both got teaching jobs and moved from the big apple to the big easy this summer :D we're renting a wonderful apartment with a balcony view of st. charles avenue (perfect for mardi gras parades) in the garden district neighborhood, just a few blocks from the famous lafayette cemetary #1 and anne rice's former home :wink: looking forward to our first halloween in this haunted city :twisted:

Oh, exciting! I've wanted to visit New Orleans since playing that Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers game. It was about Voodoo murders in New Orleans... so it covered a lot of the Marie Levau legends-- her tomb is in Cemetery #1 and I've heard you can make a wish if you leave her a gift at her tomb. I've also been dying to see Jackson Square (nice pic!) and eat at Napoleon's.

I also want to visit Oak Alley Plantation and the Myrtles Plantation (even though I don't think it's haunted)... and maybe take pics of the LaLaurie House.

Take photos! I'd love to see 'em. =)

New Orleans is a unique city. It's been too long since I was there. I envy you a little!

I am a life long resident of the area and live in metro New Orleans.

Have had offers to move but wouldn't.

That's why I like to costume so much!

united movers still haven't found my movies and tried to reimburse with a check for $60 :lol: i called their rep and told them that if they didn't find my goods, they'd hear from the better business bureau, my attorney, and the nypd :x now they want to send it to mediation, but my bottomline is find my stuff or pay me the thousands of dollars that i value it at :wink:
