Summary
Today's episode is a solo show. It's the first of two parts where I''ll use the ABCs as a roadmap for enjoying New Orleans.
You'll hear interesting stories, history and facts about New Orleans through the lens of the alphabet.
I thought this would be a fun challenge for me and a different way of generating ideas about things to do and New Orleans history for you.
