Yeah, it's there. It's also better than the smell here in Hammond, which has a septic plant built near the mall in the center of town. |

I don't think we're doing a good job of selling New Orleans to tourists anymore.

I was just there in October 2013 and the only place is really stunk was around Jackson Square where the burros were parked. |

There was also one by Cafe Du Monde if I remember correctly. New Orleans definitely has it's quirks, but those quirks are what give the city its charm. If you're gonna have a lot of extra cash to spend, I'd go to Antiones, order a bowl of their alligator soup and baked Alaska then ask your waiter for a tour of the building. Very cool experience. |

I guess so because I walked up and down and all around that quarter and really only experienced it in that general area. even Bourbon street was acceptable... |

Did you park in a covered garage by any chance? If that didn't stink, I'd be convinced you sacrificed a goat to the gods before your latest trip. |

I only had a car for one day and that was to travel out of the city. I've driven in the quarter before and decided "this is not for me". Haha! |

Yes. Definitely yes. Antoine's is my dad's favorite restaurant, so every year we go there for his birthday, and instead of a cake, he has a birthday Baked Alaska. |

I actually call it Spider City Ever since you've said this, I've realized how many spiders there are. Thanks for that. I've found at least one a day. And, since I've got a 2 year old I don't want bitten, I kill everyone I see (rather than just brown recluses and black widows like I used to do), so I know it's not the same one. |
