I agree, partially, but I think it’s much worse than you are portraying it.
That said, I completely understand why you would.

Friend. Thanks for the Sunday trip to the Quarters without the need to subject myself to life threatening heat.

The French Quarter is probably the most unique neighborhood in the country but I'm not sure you can call it the best. Though many of the places you mentioned are my favorites to visit, I couldn't see myself living there, especially at my age.
These observations of yours are unfortunately true. This may be the most poignant thing you've written on this board. I'd also like to point out that when people today do congregate in an organic manner, violence is often the result.

The disturbing trend in our society is that our communal spaces – theaters and churches and restaurants and shopping centers – are rapidly dying.
More and more people today want to be left alone. They want to enter their own world, whether in their home theater or video game system or social media. They want their groceries and meals and clothes delivered and dropped at their doorstep. They live either in apathy or fear of their neighbors. They seek outrageous headlines from slanted media outlets to justify their escalating seclusion. Their islands shrink and shrink while their depression and anger increase.

That's great news, since the last stand against self-indulgency on the alluvial soils petered out in record time.

This sign reminds me of Mother. She loves seeing my joy when she allows me in the rear dinning room.

He mumbled incoherently and walked away. I had hoped to discuss with him Tolstoy’s great treatise Why Do Men Stupefy Themselves? (with alcohol, tobacco, hashish and other intoxicating drugs), whose answer to that question is found “in man's need to hide from himself the demands of conscience…to drown the voice of conscience in themselves.” If you have never read the pamphlet, I cannot more highly recommend it to you.

Mark 12:30-31
30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.
31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.”

Friend,
Perhaps for individuals like yourself who have not been exposed to culture and fellowship like TulaneLSU and his acolytes like myself. His prose and astute observations may seem like the lunatic ravings of a madman who has gone simple and soft.
I for one look forward to his periodic observations and vignettes that make the mundane important albeit in a non spectacle sort of way without the ever present fog of politics that seem to be used ever more consistently interpret the world.
TulaneLSU is a treasure and dare I say my friend is something of a gadfly reminding us that the world around us outside of the digital broadcasts of the numerous news/ propaganda outlets. Is interesting. His admonishment about how we are retreating from the places of community wherein we interact with real people and not digital avatars is prescient.
There are few pleasure more reinvigorated then taking a stroll through the French Quarter on most Sunday mornings. The people you meet the casual conversations are what add depth to our lives.
But alas my friend this morning was to hot to do this. This infernally intemperate weather keeps me holed up in the sanitary and somewhat impersonal environs of the Ozone Belt of the Northshore.

Communion with God is a yes. Communion with neighbors is a no. I get enough of the deranged, unwashed masses during the week. I did attend church but the rest of my day will be spent at home caring for my family, garden, and pets.

Your essay in the beginning on isolationism and how society is trending that way and how the Quarter embodies the antithesis of this
Was honestly so truly beautiful
PS did you know the oldest statues in the city are at each corner of Jackson Square?
They have no plaques delineating the title of the sculpture nor the artist. However they each represent one of the four seasons.
The live oak that collapsed a few weeks ago luckily left - what my girlfriend and I believe to be - the Autumn statue unscathed luckily. Truly a miracle.
Peace and blessings.

So, do you ask ChatGPT to write for you in the style of "A Confederacy of Dunces" book? Your versions truly are an amateurish attempt, at best.

I enjoyed this thread and the visit to Poncho's Mexican Buffet, complete with pictures.
Hoping that TulaneLSU does a "Top 5 Menu Items at Bud's Broiler" in a future post.
