Old Aurora: New Orleans West Bank Neighborhood of the Week

Just south of Woodland Highway in Algiers, the Old Aurora neighborhood features beautifully tree lined streets.  The sound of birds chirping can be heard each morning as the sun rises and begins to dapple the streets and front yards of the community.  The sprawling branches of the mature oak trees appeal to the recklessness of youth and dare you to see how high you can climb… Developed just after WWII, the original Aurora Gardens homes were typically small (700 to 900 square feet) 2 bedroom, 1 bath ranchers on large lots.  Over time, most of the ...

Celebrating Independence the NOLA Way

What are you doing for the 4th of July holiday?  If you’re in New Orleans, you should definitely be making plans to take part in the 19th annual Go 4th on the River celebration. Named one of the top 5 “must see” firework displays in the U.S., there will be dueling pyrotechnic barges on the river at 9 pm on Independence Day.  The extravaganza is visible for miles, so if you’re on the West Bank, just head to the levee in Algiers or Gretna and you can catch the show close to home.  Bring your radio and tune in ...

New Orleans Media Gets It Wrong – Again

ARGH!  If only the media would actually report an entire story instead of the pieces and parts that fit the "New Orleans is coming back better than ever” mold. This evening, WDSU news ran a story about what neighborhoods are the fastest growing in the city.  Among them – Algiers Point, right here on the West Bank.  From the on air segment, the impression was given that the community is one of the booming areas of the city.  I’m sure that the home sellers who have been not-so-patiently waiting for buyers for their homes would beg to differ. Click here for the ...

Wednesdays on the Point – FREE summer concerts in Algiers Point starting soon!

Now that Wednesdays in the Square is complete, it’s time for the party to move on over to the West Bank. Starting on June 24, 2009, the free summer concerts return to Algiers Point each Wednesday evening until August 12th. I love Wednesdays on the Point, since it means that we have something fun to do early in the evening before the mosquitoes start biting and we are guaranteed to run into several old friends along the way.  Kicking things off for week 1 (6:00 pm in the Holy Name of Mary Church yard) are Terrance Simien ...
