Any good stuff in French Quarter?

The French Quarter is great-haven't been in about three yers, maybe a little longer. Glad to see they are coming back in NOLA and having the Super Bowl there will be good for the town as always. Watch a little "Treme" to get in the mood.

I go to New Orleans every spring for the Jazz Fest and always stay in the French Quarter. The French Quarter post-Katrina is as great as it was before the hurricane hit. Unfortunately you aren't going to find any pre-war cards in any shop. In fact, Louisiana in general is a barren waste land for finding pre-war cards. You would think that with all the Coupon, Victory, etc. cards that there would be finds all the time but in the past 30 years there have been only two major finds which I am aware of, one the 80's Coupon (T213) find and the other the recent T207 Red Cross and other cards find.
If you have some time and want to see and listen to great music, go during the last weekend of April and first weekend of May to the Jazz Fest. This year besides the great local bands, Billy Joel, Fleetwood Mac, John Mayer, B.B. King, Maroon 5, Dave Matthews Band and other great groups will be there.

Beware of the Hurricanes and the Hand Grenades (drinks). They go down really well, but they can really hit like a hammer! I went to NO when I was in my early twenties and enjoyed the place too much. Have fun!

Best,
