Merry Christmas!

By Tess

In a bout of holiday spirit, I headed out to City Park yesterday to visit their Celebration in the Oaks- the annual event that winds through the Botanical Gardens and Storyland, and uses over 1 million lights. The 2 mile driving tour is still closed, but may be back next year.

It was peaceful, and seasonally chilly, which made it all the stranger that they were giving away free Blue Bell ice cream to celebrate their 100th anniversary. Excited little ones running and begging for the treat while horrified parents gave in.

I got there early, and wandered around the park for a while before it got dark. There aren’t as many trees as there once were, but City Park’s still looking good.

About NNO

Hey, y'all, thanks for stopping by!~

I'm Tess Conrad, Yankee gone native in New Orleans. After dozens visits to research and write about NO's history I figured it'd be cheaper to just move, and in 2002 we did just that.

The blog was started as a companion to my New Orleans-themed shop (now closed), and give visitors a glimpse into life here. I'm keeping the blog here, even though I haven't been as good at updating it as I ought to be. I still write, not to mention photograph everything in sight, and gambol in the garden. Drop me a line, let me know what you think, or what you'd like to see covered!
