Funny and entertaining, Master Magician "The Great Wilsoni" can be found performing on weekends and holidays at the corner of Royal and St. Peter Street.

The controversial Robert E Lee Monument in Lee Circle ... as viewed from a passing streetcar. The Doric column is 60-feet tall topped by a 12-foot statue. The land the monument sits on was named for Robert E Lee by the New Orleans City Council in 1877 and was dedicated on February 23, 1884. |  |
| As our streetcar reached Common and Carondolet Streets, a giant banner said to "Look up!!" and so that is what I did--and this is what I saw: The Maritime Building--New Orleans first skyscraper. The Maritime opened its doors in 1893 and is now 105 luxury apartments. |  |
Robyn enjoying a hurricane at Pat O'Brien's in the piano bar. It was June 1 and the start of hurricane season--and Pat O'Brien's was celebrating with half-off hurricanes! |  |

For me, besides the Quarter, Magazine Street is the most interesting place in New Orleans. |  |

The is way down Bourbon Street ... many blocks away from the Central Business District |  |
Lyle Saxon in his New Orleans books wrote about Gallatin Street ... an alley that was the roughest, most dangerous part of the Quarter--with prostitution, muggings and murders a daily norm. Paying attention to where Saxon said Gallatin Street was located, I found two little sections of alley (which are now more like walkways)--in my view, this photo and the next appear to be what is left of Gallatin Street. |  |
A little bit wider thru-fare which appears to be a remnant of Gallatin Street. |  |
