Ilene was referring to the St. Charles streetcar.  Think you pick it up at
Carondolet and Canal.  It goes out St. Charles Ave. thru the Garden
District, past Loyola, Tulane, and Audubon Park then makes a right thru a
shopping area, ends and then you reboard and ride back to Canal.  It gives
you a snippet of the Garden District architecture without having to fight
traffic.  I have info and websites for NO (I go down there 3-4 times a
year).  For starters try http:/www.prcno.org a SUPER crew working largely on
reclaiming residential properties, but also saving the Leeds Foundry
building.  They were also movers and shakers in reclaiming the Warehouse
Arts District.

Regency I believe it is called.

Seeing how successfully the group rallied to calls for advice about
'must-see' and 'must do' things in the UK, I thought I might try my luck
with advice for New Orleans.

I'm attending an ASTM C18 meeting and one-day symposium on stone cladding
(the modern thin stuff rather than the traditional thicker stuff) there
between 24-27 October.  I look like having the Sunday free to look around
(plus the evenings to get down and see the town).

Suggestions welcomed.  Heritage or otherwise.

Thanks in anticipation - cannot promise to deliver a travel report anywhere
near the eloquence of Michael's, nor the lyricism of Dan's - but I will let
you know my thoughts on the place!

Cheers
