MidCity Art Market in New Orleans
We had for a moment the Mid City Art Market down the bayou under the canopy of large oaks on North Jeff Davis. Everyone agreed that the market belongs there but sadly it is permanently located at Palmer Park on South Claiborne and Carrollton. The good news was that Dr. Bob had a kiosk and I was able to get my Be Nice or Leave sign, which has a special place right over my front door at the LaLa. I also got a smaller Rebuild or Leave for the screen porch. J and I spoke to a woman who has been making jewelry designs based on the Lotus flower – because its symbol of rebirth. There was also a petition to stop the Big Box development by Victory – which builds basically C Class development – something we are all coming to believe would be a very bad decision for our cherished neighborhood. And the MOWRONS were selling tee shirts to support their volunteer efforts in cutting our grass on the bayou and in the park. It was a beautiful day and we all felt blessed to have this wonderful event with the music and the food at the Boogaloo all in our front yard.
