Anyone here from New Orleans?

Or I guess y'all say it "Newahlins" :p

Anyway. We are heading off to N.O. for vacation on Friday and I just thought if there was a fellow LCO over there maybe if I had time we could meet up and I could check out how things are done in that part of the country. Or at least maybe get some ideas for what's fun to do around there.

Find some out of the way hole in the wall place that serves "cajun" shrimp. There is no better shrimp anywhere than what you can get in cajun country. Just remember, them boys down there play by an entirely different set of rules. :)

Its nawleans. We were in NO back in April. Got married on a river boat. If you dont eat anywhere else you must try the Red Fish Grill and Brennan's Steak house both in the French Quarter. Cost alot but well worth it.
This was my second trip to the city and I must say this time it was a different place. I actually saw cops everywhere and doing their job not taking bribs.
The city was alot cleaner and safer but still dont go where there isnt alot of people.

And what is the lawn care industry like down in those parts? Anyone know?

(Just trying to keep this thread in this forum :D )

OOPs sorry
I digressed
From what I saw most lawns are postage stamp sized in town, if they had one at all.
And unless they were cutting that st. aug at 4" it didnt look like it had been cut. The only people I saw mowing at all in a weeks time were the city workers. lol

Don't get me wrong. I won't be looking for work there. Things are great here in OR. We're just going there for 5 days for vacation and I was wondering about how the industry was around there and just thought if it was easy I'd meet up with someone. On the other hand, our schedule is going to be pretty packed so I dunno if this is all feasible.

Take the vacation. Forget work for a week. Let everyone else work.:)
