Solid foreshadowing at the end when he says "New Orleans nightlife takes on a bit of gayity"

Nice, think one of the last homes they showed was one I spent a great deal of time in.

That was great, prplhze2000. Thanks for posting!

The first mansion they showed is the largest on St. Charles and just sold a couple of years ago.

I wonder how this video might be different as we got geared up for WW2 shortly after

Yeah, the one I was looking at was later. Pretty sure it's on Dufossat, 1500 or so.

Supposedly he got the idea for Suddenly Last Summer from a story he was told by a French sailor he was trying to pick up in a bar

I like how he was touting Charity as all races. Pretty sure by 2003 it was black only.

Huey wasn't a racist. He also provided literacy classes for black and white adults. Thought Bilbo was stupid.

Thank LBJ, and like-minded politicians.

What really got my attention was when he said the population was 500,000. Pretty amazing to think the population was that much larger in 1940.

NO was the premiere city of the South throughout the 19th century, then stagnated and lost its lead. Maybe there was nothing it could do to stop Houston, but certainly it could have checked Atlanta's rise, with some forward thinking city fathers.

Great video

"Fourth largest city in land area in the United States."
What happened? 51st now.

What a charming place New Orleans was back then. That video shows a city that was a far cry from the city I lived in from 1991-1995 when it was considered the murder capital of the nation. Thanks for posting this. I love looking at old color pictures and videos from that era.
