This year was the first one in a long time that I wasn’t able to attend all three days of the annual Heritage Festival in Gretna LA. But, despite the fact that I missed Sunday, I was still able to get some pictures and video of all of the festivities. The festival seems to get…
Every year I say that I’m going to get to the Pawdi Gras parade in Gretna LA. Every year I miss it. Until Saturday. Up bright and early, I was able to stroll through the Farmer’s Market and get to the starting area before the parade kicked off. The volunteers from PAWS were there, along…

So when I took a drive through City Park recently, I was captivated by the different structures that dot the park and the history behind them. Popp’s Bandstand…
