NOLA- Downtown, Arts, Bywater, CBD

November Obscura












Managed to snap this photo of Satan out for a bike ride one afternoon. I thought I was able to get 2 photos, but he is a fast little shit. Of course he was smoking. Why wouldn't he be?



This was interesting. I noticed this while we were stopped at a traffic light. It was the side of a small store, and yet it seemed to serve as a sort of neighborhood bulletin board.







The Central Business District is a neighborhood of the city of New Orleans. A subdistrict of the French Quarter/CBD Area, its boundaries as defined by the City Planning Commission are: Iberville, Decatur and Canal Streets to the north, theMississippi River to the east, the New Orleans Morial Convention Center, Julia andMagazine Streets and the Pontchartrain Expressway to the south and South Claiborne Avenue, Cleveland and South and North Derbigny Streets to the west.

 It is the equivalent of what many cities call their "downtown", although in New Orleans "downtown" or "down town" was historically used to mean all portions of the city downriver from Canal Street in the direction of flow of the Mississippi River. In recent decades, however, use of the catch-all "downtown" adjective to describe neighborhoods downriver from Canal Street has largely ceased, having been replaced in usage by individual neighborhood names (e.g., Bywater).















Bywater is a neighborhood of the city of New Orleans. A subdistrict of the Bywater District Area, its boundaries as defined by the City Planning Commission are: Florida Avenue to the north, the Industrial Canal to the east, the Mississippi River to the south and Franklin Avenue Street to the west.

Bywater is part of the Ninth Ward of New Orleans, but is located along the natural levee of the Mississippi River, sparing the area from significant flooding. It includes part or all of Bywater Historic District, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places





Best BBQ Anywhere! The Joint is located in Bywater.
