Slurping wetly and noisily at the nourishment that is New Orleans
While undergoing my weekly self-flagellation, I was narrowing down which listing I wanted to share with you and inadvertently wound up with two options in roughly the same price bracket. Both locations are attractive in their own way, and I know which I would choose, but I am curious about […]
Since I moved, I must admit I have been more focused on furnishing my new digs (it’s huge for us!) than looking at homes for sale, but I do still get around to it from time to time. It’s interesting to me that the more I browse, the more I […]
Since my whole life is on da Point these days, I thought I’d take a peek at homes for sale in the neighborhood. Now, I didn’t expect to find much considering Algiers Point is a tiny area to peruse, but I did find something I thought was interesting. If there’s […]
John and I began dating exclusively way back in 2005, and though we started living together a year later, it wasn’t until 2014 that we started to celebrate Christmas. Neither of us is religious, but the holiday season was a big deal in my family. Putting up the tree and […]
Considering I am yet another victim of New Orleans’s infamous slumlords, I’ve found myself once again considering being a home owner.

For around $70 a night, guests could stay in a run-down hotel replete with musty odors, questionable linens, dirty drop ceilings, and paper-thin walls, yet many adored it […]
Sometimes, I’ll be sitting on the stoop of my apartment building waiting on a friend, or a Lyft, and I will frequently see tourists taking pictures of the mansion across the street and it makes me shake my head. Why? Because, not including my ghastly building and the one behind […]
I’m not a heavy fester, I’ve only been to Jazzfest three or four times since moving to this city, but there are still plenty of wonderful reasons to live near the fairgrounds. Like the Garden District there’s a ton of greenspace, lots of parks (both big and small), beautiful trees, […]
What seems like ages ago, I was here in town with my Mom, both visiting and seeking out my future living space. Like many people first moving to New Orleans, I had my heart set on living in the French Quarter and checked out quite a few spaces near my […]
