ALGIERS POINT TO JACKSON SQUARE - DRONES OVER NEW ORLEANS
Some of the best views of the city are from the Canal Street/Algiers Ferry in the middle of the Mississippi River. Since 1827, the ferry has traveled across the Mississippi River to Algiers Point, a historic neighborhood with loads of 19th century village charm. Ride the ferry from the French Quarter and stroll the Jazz Walk of Fame in Algiers. Discover Confetti Park, a whimsical playground for kids. Grab a bite at any of the nearby cafes and pubs. Or burn off that po-boy you had for lunch on a walking tour or along the Algiers Bike Path.

Algiers /ælˈdʒɪərz/ is a section of New Orleans, the only Orleans Parish community located on the West Bank of the Mississippi River. Algiers is known as the 15th Ward, one of the 17 Wards of New Orleans.[1] The neighborhood became the birthplace of Jazz as it was once home to many of the early African American Jazz artists in the early 1900s. This ward is the biggest of all 17 wards and is considered a historic piece of land to the History of New Orleans.[2][3][4]

Possible Mississippi River Channel Switch?--Phenomenon Explained
Due to changes at Old River and increasing sedimentation, a channel switch for the Mississippi River to follow the Atchafalaya River's path to the Gulf of Mexico is becoming more likely, with all that stands in the way of this being the Old River Control Structures and the US Army Corps of Engineers' eternal vigilance.
How would a theoretical channel switch occur? What are the most likely locations (Which one has an ominous name?)? What would be the consequences for New Orleans? Baton Rouge? The Lower Atchafalaya Basin? The rest of the United States? What can be done to prepare for this event? All of these questions are answered in today's episode.

Show Notes:
For the effects on industrial plants on the Mississippi River, I reached out to BASF, Dow, Shell, Exxon, Entergy, Dupont, and the Port of South Louisiana to get some comments on the consequences of a channel switch. Unfortunately none of these companies responded to my requests.
Federal Law prevented me from recording around power plants and critical infrastructure, so please excuse the footage of boats sailing down the Mississippi used as a replacement.

New Orleans is a Louisiana city on the Mississippi River, near the Gulf of Mexico. Nicknamed the Big Easy, it's known for its round-the-clock nightlife, vibrant live-music scene and spicy, singular cuisine reflecting its history as a melting pot of French, African and American cultures. Embodying its festive spirit is Mardi Gras, the late-winter carnival famed for raucous costumed parades and street parties.
The things that make life worth living – eating, drinking and the making of merriment – are the air that New Orleans breathes. We hope you’re not reading this at home. We hope you’re in New Orleans, because you’re about to eat better than most others. When it comes to food, New Orleans does not fool around. Well, OK, it does: its playful attitude to ingredients and recipes mixes (for example) alligator sausage and cheesecake into a dessert fit for the gods. This sense of gastronomic play is rooted in both deep traditions – truly, this city has one of the few indigenous cuisines in the country – and, increasingly, a willingness to accommodate outside influences, both in terms of technique and ethnicity.
We're not exaggerating when we say there is either a festival or a parade every week of the year in New Orleans. Sometimes, such as during Mardi Gras or Jazz Fest, it feels like there’s a new party for every hour of the day. At almost any celebration in town, people engage in masking – donning a new appearance via some form of costuming – while acting out the satyric side of human behavior. But the celebrations and rituals of New Orleans are as much about history as hedonism, and every dance is as much an expression of tradition and community spirit as it is of joy.
The Crescent City has suffered plagues, wars, imperial regime changes and devastating floods. Yet, it always wakes up with a smile on its face. This may be because its inhabitants step to an easy beat first laid down three centuries ago. Moving at this relaxed pace, visitors are delighted by the French Creole elegance of the Vieux Carre (French Quarter) or the opulence discovered in a streetcar ride through the Garden District and Uptown.
Anytime of year find live music, amazing Creole and Cajun cuisine, fresh seafood, farmers markets, shopping, nightlife and more. During Mardi Gras season, the city becomes the world’s center. Downtown transforms into an adult playground, while parades in residential areas provide children thrilling entertainment. Each spring, the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival moves the focus to the charming Gentilly area and the Fair Grounds Race Course. But no matter the time of year, New Orleans' calendar overflows in celebration.
