Nostalgic New Orleans Photos | Frostop in Algiers

Shuttered Frostop on General Meyer in Algiers

It’s funny how nostalgia and food can combine to bring people together – even if it’s just virtually. If you follow West Bank Living on Facebook, then you already know that we love posting local photos of this, that and the other.  Who’d a thunk that one photo of a boarded up burger joint would…

Trust, but Verify (That Your Listing Photos Are Good)

3D camera with lens

I’ll be the first to admit that I’m picky about photos.  Now, I’m not quite a complete snob about how a home should be presented on the internet, but I ran across a home today on the New Orleans Multiple Listing Service (MLS) that had every single one of the following mistakes in the photo…

Pictures of Marine Corps Band Concert at Brechtel Park

marine corps concert - west bank new orleans life

Whoever was in charge of getting the word out about this event didn’t do a very good job…only about 100 people showed up on Saturday  for the Marine Corps Band concert in Brechtel Park. The silver lining for those of us who attended was it turned out to be almost a private event with the…

2011 Red Day A Colorful Success for Cafe Hope

Red Day - cafe hope

Last week was Red Day…the annual day of community service for Keller Williams agents across the entire country. We take the day off from real estate and instead focus on giving back to our own community in one way or another. This year, the KW West Bank office chose Cafe Hope as our charity of…

Friday Fun Fotos | August 13, 2010

Last weekend was the annual White Linen Night in the arts district of New Orleans.  I don’t know who decided that August was the prime time for an outdoor event in a hot and humid climate, but the heat didn’t keep thousands of people from crowding the streets and the galleries. Missed White Linen Night?…

Bayou St. John | Photos of a New Orleans Neighborhood

With bayous and canals running through and around the city of New Orleans, it’s not surprising that there are neighborhoods with some fantastic water views.  Just on the outskirts of City Park, Bayou St. John winds in front of many homes, providing a picturesque setting that seems out of place in the middle of the…

Spring into Spring

I love spring. It’s my favorite season of all, even if it doesn’t last very long in New Orleans.  The long term forecast says that we are expected to have a cooler, wetter than normal spring in 2010.  I could do without the wet, but the idea of it not being sweltering hot anytime soon…

That’s Not a Drag Queen….That’s a Saints Fan!

We like to do things just a little differently here in New Orleans.  And one of the things we do best is throw an impromptu parade for just about any reason. For years and years, Buddy Diliberto (affectionately known as Buddy D) was the most prominent local sportscaster. He called the Saints games and reported…

Lucky Dogs

In any other part of the country, you’d think I was talking about some pampered pooches.  In New Orleans, a Lucky Dog has a whole other meaning. The hot dog carts have been a fixture in the French Quarter for as long as I can remember (and was the one craving I had when expecting…
