New Orleans

There's nothing Big or Easy about it.

About Me


..
I was founded in 1718, but that year ain't listed, I used 1918 so add 200 years to my age shown to get my true age.
Brief Bio - New Orleans (local pronunciations: /nu aw lenz/, /nu or lee enz/, or /nu awl yunz/; other: /nu or leenz/) is a major United States port city and historically the largest city in the U.S. state of Louisiana. It is in southeastern Louisiana along the Mississippi River, just south of Lake Pontchartrain, and is coextensive with Orleans. New Orleans is named after the historical Duke of Orléans, Regent of France, and is one of the oldest and most historic cities in the United States.
New Orleans is known for its multicultural heritage as well as its music and cuisine. It is considered the birthplace of jazz. Its status as a world-famous tourist destination is due in part to its architecture and its annual Mardi Gras and other celebrations.
The city's several nicknames are illustrative. "Crescent City" alludes to the course of the Mississippi River around and through the city; "The Big Easy" is a reference by musicians to the relative ease of finding work there; and "The City That Care Forgot" refers to the outwardly easy-going, carefree nature of many of the residents.
The 2000 U.S. census put New Orleans' population at 484,674. Hurricane Katrina in 2005 caused the city's evacuation. Population estimates as of June 2006 range from 192,000 to 220,000.
