The decision to write this (or anything) has been a long process. I graduated with my degree in English Literature and American Studies back in 2006 and since then have been working with children. My aim is to produce something thoughtful, intelligent, honest, but most importantly fun!
I have a huge interest, but admittedly short relationship with New Orleans. My first trip being August 2004. Since then I have gained a degree and had my wedding at Jackson Square. My husband is from Slidell and so I like to think Louisiana is now in my blood.
My intention is to write about the true city that I love. News, food, entertainment and music. I hope to interest locals and tourists alike. I hope you all enjoy!
Here goes:
If French Quarter living is your thing and you have a spare 2,395,000 then check out this 'townhouse' on Royal Street. It has 7 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms with 5,387 square feet!It even has off street parking for several vehicles.
New Jersey pair arrested after security breach at New Orleans Airport
Two teens were arrested yesterday morning after climbing on the luggage conveyor belt at Louis Armstrong Airport. The pair were sitting on the belt when it started moving, it seems, and they were transported to a 'secure location' in the airport. It probably would all have been treated as a misunderstanding except the two teens ran to the bathroom to hide and the police had to drag them out. It seems the airport security still believe that what the teens did was very serious and that no exceptions can be made even for a teenage prank!
Flying post 9/11 has become and a very serious matter and I'm glad the security officers are able to use their common sense to acknowledge a serious breach of security and one that clearly is not.

Magazine Street Treasures
If you are looking for that elusive gift for someone extra special look no further than the boutiques on magazine street. Six miles of antiques, funky clothes and jewelry. You are sure to find something for that person who has everything! Go to www.magazinestreet.com and you can order a free shoppers guide (just click on the link on the top right). Too long to walk and shop in one day, drive and park or jump aboard a street car in the French Quarter or downtown to save your feet. A whole days worth of fun for any die hard shopper.
Well, that's it for my first post. Really need to get the hang of this blogging.
Until next time,
USBRIT
