French Quarter & Tree of Life (New Orleans, LA)
Amanda & Mike join some friends for a birthday bash in NOLA, checking out the French Quarter (Jackson Square, Bourbon Street, Frenchmen Street, and Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop Bar [the oldest bar in the United States]) and Audobon park to see the Tree of Life (aka the Étienne de Boray Oak), a massive oak over hundreds of years old.
There's so much of New Orleans to explore and we couldn't capture everything, but we will be back!

Lilly and I were walking in City Park in New Orleans and came upon this alligator sunny himself/herself. Luckily Lilly saw it and no longer just runs into the water willy nilly. This guy could easily take down a dog or small child.

New Orleans Botanical Garden Visit

WLOX Memories New Orleans Worlds Fair and Expo 1984
This week marks the 30th anniversary of the grand opening of the 1984 Louisiana World's Fair and Exposition.
Although the fair is mostly remembered today for having been a financial disaster that ended in bankruptcy, it was at the time an exciting endeavor that was greeted with great enthusiasm. The fair featured a monorail, a spectacular gondola ride over the Mississippi River, a real space shuttle from NASA's fleet and at least two permanent buildings that eventually became The Riverwalk Shopping Center and a portion of the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center.
WLOX sent reporter Ed Bryson to New Orleans for a week to give us a look at last minute preparations and opening day of the fair.

Places to see in ( New Orleans - USA ) New Orleans City Park
City Park, a 1,300-acre (5.3 km2) public park in New Orleans, Louisiana, is the 87th largest and 20th-most-visited urban public park in the United States. City Park is approximately 50% larger than Central Park in New York City, the municipal park recognized by Americans nationwide as the archetypal urban greenspace. Although it is an urban park whose land is owned by the City of New Orleans, it is administered by the City Park Improvement Association, an arm of state government, not by the New Orleans Parks and Parkways Department. City Park is very unusual in that it is a largely self-supporting public park, with most of its annual budget derived from self-generated revenue through user fees and donations.
In the wake of the enormous damage inflicted upon the park due to Hurricane Katrina, the Louisiana Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism began to partially subsidize the park's operations. City Park holds the world's largest collection of mature live oak trees, some older than 600 years in age. The park was founded in 1854, making it the 48th oldest park in the country, and established as the City Park in 1891.
The park was originally a location used for dueling. In the 1800s, men would defend their pride and honor by dueling each other under the oaks at what is now City Park but then was a normally quiet spot secluded from the rest of the city. Originally, there were two dueling oaks, but one was lost in a hurricane in 1949. City Park was established in the mid-19th century on land fronting Metairie Road (now City Park Avenue), along the remains of Bayou Metairie, a former distributary of the Mississippi River.

The 1984 World's Fair in New Orleans: What do you remember?
May 12, 1984 was the first day of the 1984 Louisiana World's Exposition.
Its 6-month run in the city was a wonderland for New Orleanians, many of whom were regular visitors, and the source of decades of memories.
