Lake Pontchartrain

I rode the length of the scenic Florida Avenue Canal yesterday. It starts at Broad Street and ends in the farthest reaches of Bayou Bienvenue. I know you’ve never been to Bayou Bienvenue. I know you’ve never even heard of it.

There are a lot of things you don’t know about New Orleans. There is an educational park that nobody ever visits at the canals, start. A mural that no one can see, and hence no one reads, faces Broad Street.

It loosely illustrates the city’s drainage system.

I know. I’ve been through some of those big canals. It’s dark underground.

I’m working on something for the paid subscribers later today. It’s taking actual effort.

Happy Mardi Gras!
