There is no weather phenomenon in New Orleans better than the first cold front that sweeps away summer. As a child I viewed it in theological terms, a sort of baptism of wind that would blow away all the filth and ordure of the tropical doldrums. To walk out on that first crisp Autumn morning was to take a first breath in a new world, a return to Eden.
I too have always loved that first cold front passing and you have described that experience so well. It's easy to understand how New Orleanians, prior to the ability of forecasters to track and warn of approaching hurricanes, could so easily mistake that first blustery tug at the oleanders and palms for the onset of autumn only to have the winds persist and increase and the tides rise presaging a storm from the tropics.
I remember how much hurricanes Hilda and Betsy mimicked cold fronts by twisting the stop signs at most every intersection and swaying the traffic lights at the major ones.
Thanks for posting.

Thank you for another thoughtful post. Sadly, this is the closest I come to reading for pleasure these days.

Cant believe you left out the Poydras Center...
Building actually wraps around the backside of an existing building.

This thread would have been much better if you would have just shown the buildings. I don't need all that bullcrap before that.

Thank you sir! As a native, who no longer resides in South Louisiana, your threads are a welcome nostalgia to me. Truly. One building that intrigued me as a kid was 1515 Poydras. From certain angles, staring up at it, it appears to lack any depth - like it was not 3 dimensional.
The below pic gives some semblance of what I saw, but not completely.
Again thank you, and continue to shake the haters.

I remember my dad bringing us to the Navy ships that came in around Mardi Gras. Remember touring the USS Starke which had been hit in the Iran/Iraq war. My dad was a Navy veteran and enjoyed showing my brother and I the ships when they came in each year.

We are going through the zombie apocalypse and you're asking Rain Man to tell us about the top 10 churches in Ghana?

No. 17 is incorrectly identified as the NOPSI Hotel. The building you have pictured is the third Masonic Temple building on St. Charles at Perdido, built in the 1920s, which is now a Hilton.
The old NOPSI building, which is also now a hotel, is located at 317 Baronne.
Other old high rises deserving mention are the Maritime Building, the Queen and Crescent, and the Canal Bank building which was later known as the First NBC building.
