The Holidays Arrive On Canal St.
I saw the streetcar decorations and my eyes sort of popped out of my head for a second. Thanksgiving has snuck up on me this week. So, did we have the streetcar for Christmas at all last year? I’m too tired to think about it. There are a few things that make me really smile during the holidays; the streetcar’s Christmas decorations, Black Santas, Eggnog daquiries and Hubigs sweet potato pies, which I was told is only sold seasonally. Which explains why I can never find them. Oh, and Christmas in the Oaks.
So this also means it’s been a year since I have been writing for Metroblogging, it seems longer. I have gotten to know some of our regular readers and I am thankful for y’all for sending me so much of your positive energy this past year. I am also thankful that Jack Ware gave me the opportunity to fumble around here like I do. I am also very thankful for my house and that I can hear the streetcar from the porch. I plan to stay in and enjoy being at home on Thanksgiving and read Richard Campanella’s Geographies of New Orleans. This man is my version of Elvis.
I hope everyone has a wonderful Turkey Day !
Apparently, the streetcar returned on December 18th last year. ABC News Story
Merry Christmas, Laureen. Happy Holidays all.
I’m looking forward to coming home for Christmas/New Year’s and seeing the decked-out street cars myself. I’d say “You don’t know how wonderful it is to see them running again,” except, of course, you do.
Hey..Give us back out streetcar!
I heard they were going to break the St Charles line cars down into parts so they can auction them off for city revenue. What a shame.
happy holidays my love, much love to you and yours.
be safe, be happy. ;D
Bonne Anniversaire, Laureen!
