If any city has withstood the test of time,
it's New Orleans.
Neither man nor nature can keep her
down for the count.
She's just too resilient, too determined.
Grit? Oh, there's plenty, along with
dilapidated buildings, crooked sidewalks,
and trash in the streets.
But look closer and you'll find
spirit, preservation, and indescribable beauty
displayed proudly in her architecture, food,
music, and art.
What is it that draws us to this Femme Fatale?
Is it her warm embrace, tantalizing cusine, and infectious rhythms?
Perhaps the allure lies in what we can't feel, see, touch, taste, or smell ......
