With a few days in New Orleans, I had the opportunity to search out some ‘time travel’ photo ops.
Carondelet Street at Canal Street. The buildings on the corners seem similar in size, but very different. Looking down the street reveals one that is still the same.
Chartres Street in the French Quarter.
The Cotton Exchange. As noted in a previous posting the Cotton Exchange Building was torn down in the early 1920s and replaced with a more stable, but less opulent, building.
The End of Canal Street. There used to be a statue at the streetcar turnaround. The statue still exists, just a few blocks away in a park (which is shown in the Public Art posting). The streetcars are still there, just not horse drawn.
The French Market. The market has a checkered past, but now is a coffee shop.
The Opera House. This building was located in the French Quarter. It has been torn down and replaced with a new, but period correct, hotel.
St Charles Street headed into the CBD. The first block is very similar, beyond that are dramatically different with the skyscrapers replacing the smaller buildings.
