Video ~ Street musicians playing at Bourbon & Canal Street intersection

Street music is always one of the first things most New Orleans fans mention when asked what we love about the city. Rijbaklvr has shared this awesome video from a recent trip. The clip shows a fun group of young, musicians performing on the corner of Canal and Bourbon Streets. This is a frequent scene in the French Quarter. We have stood many, many times at that exact NOLA intersection enjoying the sounds of street, brass bands!

Cool Vintage Business Card ~ 1890's

I have a weakness for all things paper related. Ok ~ Ok ~ an addiction! :) This is a lovely vintage business card for H. Fehsenfeld Millinery and Fancy Goods of New Orleans. The shop was located at 209 Canal Street, between Burgandy & Rampart according to the card. Fancy! It is from the 1890's. Most business stationery today is so impersonal & boring. It is refreshing to see such an elegant example from the past. Have you looked at your biz card lately?!??!??! hahaha...
