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.

So now I own a NOLA-themed shop , and am part time at the Preservation Resource Center, which works to "preserve the historic neighborhoods that make New Orleans unique." I still write, not to mention photograph everything in sight, and play in the garden. Drop me a line, let me know what you think, or what you'd like to see covered!
