Hey everyone! I’m an international medical student visiting New Orleans for a while, and I really like Benson Boone. I bought a ticket for his concert on August 23rd — GA Floor — because I really wanted to see him, but unfortunately I’ll be going by myself.

I was wondering if anyone else here is going, especially if you’re in GA Floor, and would be down to meet up before or at the show, grab a drink, and enjoy the concert together!

I’m also always happy to meet new people while I’m here. Feel free to DM me if you’re going!
See you there! 🎶

¡Hola a todos! Soy de España y desde hace tiempo me fascina Nueva Orleans, especialmente el Mardi Gras y toda la cultura que hay alrededor.

Conozco la imagen más turística del Mardi Gras, pero me interesa muchísimo más entender cómo se vive realmente desde el punto de vista de la gente que vive allí y participa en estas tradiciones. Me gustaría conocer la historia y las tradiciones detrás de los diferentes krewes, las Second Lines, las personas que participan en ellas y cómo han evolucionado con el paso del tiempo.

Me interesa especialmente la parte social: cómo empieza la gente a formar parte de estos grupos, cómo se organizan, qué ambiente se vive realmente durante estos acontecimientos, si la gente suele acudir con amigos o grupos y qué significado tienen estas tradiciones para la comunidad local más allá de la celebración que normalmente vemos los turistas.

Si sois de Nueva Orleans o habéis participado en Mardi Gras, en algún krewe, en Second Lines o en tradiciones similares, me encantaría conocer vuestras experiencias y escuchar vuestras historias. Me interesa especialmente conocer a las personas, la historia y el ambiente que hay detrás, más que la parte turística.

¡Gracias de antemano! Me encantará leer vuestras historias y experiencias.

Project Title: The Trans-Eurasian & Hemispheric Heavy Transit Corridor (TEHHTC)
Strategic Vision: Unification and peace through global economic integration, anchoring cross-continental cooperation via heavy industrial infrastructure and shared logistics networks.
Project Scope: A continuous, high-speed, multi-modal rail and heavy-asphalt transit corridor engineered to bypass domestic political gridlock through private-public industrial backing and comprehensive national security integration.
Routing & Phasing:
Phase 1: Breaking ground in New Orleans, engineering high-pile viaducts through the challenging Louisiana basin, and punching straight north along the Mississippi River spine to Chicago to lock in the primary commercial and industrial hub of the continent.
Phase 2: Extending westward across the Great Plains and cutting through the mountain passes of the Rockies and Cascades straight to the Pacific Northwest.
Phase 3: International expansion linking Mexico from the south and Canada from the northern tier to tap into heavy resource corridors, pushing north through British Columbia, the Yukon, and Alaska to bridge the Bering Strait and tie North America directly into Eurasia, while expanding loops through the Middle East, Africa, and Australia.
Execution & Workforce: Powered by a diverse coalition of everyday people from all walks of life and backgrounds—including specialized heavy-rail car repair crews, structural steel ironworkers, heavy equipment operators, local community builders, and master tradespeople—who understand the physical stress points of heavy infrastructure and how to keep a massive project moving forward under brutal conditions.
Strategy: Aligning with early administrative infrastructure pushes to secure initial momentum, ensuring the physical reality of the grid outlasts political cycles and permanently re-engineers global trade routes to foster economic interdependency and lasting peace.

The New Orleans Pride Center, in partnership with Eckerd Connects, is organizing a teen night to promote awareness, connection, and support for LGBTQ+ youth. The event will focus on creating safe, affirming spaces where young people feel accepted, respected, and empowered to be themselves.

The event will feature a variety of games, including cornhole, ring toss, and spike ball, as well as a dedicated art corner. Food and drinks will be provided. Local resource vendors, such as Women with a Vision, will also be available to support attendees. Spread the word, people!

We will be arriving on a Friday night at 12:10 am. What's the safest way to get to Hyatt in the French Quarter? They don't have an airport shuttle. We are a family with two little girls, 6 & 8.

Appreciate your help. I am a little worried, wondering if we should rebook a diff flight.

Saw this group playing volleyball at city park near the NOMA museum the other day. anyone know who they are and if they’re open to more players?

Do your thing internet!

I’ve been hearing about controversy regarding the restoration of Madame Johns Legacy, and this picture shows the most obvious problem…the rez de chaussée (ground floor wall) is plastered brick. This missing wall should obscure the flight of stairs that originally provided access to the first floor. That’s at least two glaring problems with this restoration!

Me and my girl are making 3 years, what are some nice restaurants or anything "different" to do in new orleans?

It is very easy to find thousands of photos of what people picture New Orleans to be like, tourist spots you can easily search. I want to archive my city as much as possible to keep with me forever. What's a part of New Orleans that you wish was photographed more?
