Office hours are 8:00am-4:00pm…read more I got here at ~12:40pm to get an updated registration. When I arrived there were ~30 people here waiting. Upside: the building is really nice, there is a lot of parking, there are plenty of outlets in the qait Downside: it's pretty cold in there, there's no corner tv with the news on it like other government buildings, and there's no tacky paintings to give the waiting room life. But they did their job in a timely manner. That's all that really matters.

Oooh fancy! This is Westwego's brand spanking new City Hall building. Seriously, this is now the…read morenicest building in the whole city. I had to stop in here to get some car registration stuff taken care of and I always go to Westwego because everything happens fast and I'm usually in and out within 15 minutes. This day was no exception- there were two people ahead of me at around noon and once I got to the counter my situation was handled and I was out there door. This is also where you come to get your driver's license renewed- it's probably the best place in the New Orleans area to go because there's never a line and you are taken care of with the quickness. Bonus points: the building is super easy to find, it has plenty of parking and it isn't just stuck in the middle of a neighborhood like the old one was.

Located next to the Town Hall of Springfield, this marker points out some of the Colonial…read moresettlement of the area and activities prior to the Civil War. The marker has the same text on both sides and reads, "Springfield's Roel in West Florida Revolution. Situation on El Camino Real (King's Highway), now Louisiana Highway 22, during Spanish reign (1783-1810). Site of stockade or small fort. In 1810 revolt against Spain, residents led by William Cooper remained loyal to Spanish authority. However, rebels led by General Philemon Thomas prevailed at Baton Rouge with help of 44 grenadiers from Springfield under command of Colonel John B. Ballinger. They helped capture the Spanish Fort there on September 23, 1810." The marker is in the student parking lot of the high school. [Review 17356 overall - 69 in Louisiana - 874 of 2022.]

You will be treated like a…read morenemesis , or an adversary. if you are not a local from Lafourche parish locals will quickly try to intimidate you. There is a few speed traps on the old & new hy's in Golden meadow. The cops are known for useing every trick in the book to pull a driver over. So the parish can do revenue making off Hy. travelers. I worked in the oil patch for 28 years. have traveled these roads a lot south of New Orleans , & baton Rouge. Golden meadow sticks out the most for their B. S. speed traps

Golden Meadow is a lovely town along Bayou Lafourche. I love taking old Hwy 1 through the town…read moresince the new road is more four lane highway anywhere...with signs for satsumas and various seafood or fishing stuff. I've driven through this town most years of my life. The restaurants that my grandparents loved is gone now. As is the bakery that had the cookies of my dreams...seriously, I have to try to re-create that cookie in my own kitchen. The most important thing that any traveler needs to know about Golden Meadow is FOLLOW THE SPEED LIMIT! They are serious about their 15 MPH on their backroads and you will get a ticket. Do not think the 5 mile over padding works here; follow the limit exactly.

The first time I came here I fell in love with the city. My first time walking down the streets, I…read morefelt like I had walked them before. Even though I wasn't a native, the city embraced me as if I were. It's a city rich in cultural history and I'm fascinated by its enchanting beauty, haunting past, and the resilient spirit of the locals. With every visit I discover something new and have mastered the catchphrases. Yup, native speak is different here. "Where y'at?" and "Making groceries" ain't what you think. Oh, and we are all die hard Saints Fans. Who Dat for life! When I see the dome, I know I'm home. The Big Easy is known for its delectable cuisine, unique culture, and lively music scene. My love for the Crescent city runs deep. When I walk outside, I love hearing the sultry sounds of jazz everywhere. When you're in NOLA you never know what to expect. There is always something to celebrate, and I love the thrill of catching a second line parade. I even got to participate in a few. It's a city where a stranger will make you feel welcome with their smile and invite you into their home for a drink or a bite to eat. It's a city filled with excitement, and the sense of community is strong. The culture is embedded in the DNA of the city, and it's embedded in me. "Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans?" I do, the minute I step on the plane back to Los Angeles.

New Orleans is a city of intrigue for me. Food that reminds me of the Blue Bayou in Disneyland,…read moreAnaheim. Jambalaya, Gumbo, po boys, alligator, beignets at more places than Cafe Du Monde and the French Market. I love to see the colorful painted houses, two storied homes with stairs and columns. Graveyards so eloquent with tall immortal houses some even taller with sweet faced angels with wings on top. We visited midweek so not much going on. Many shops closed at 5 pm yet in other parts of the city some were open even at 9 pm. The looming tales of vampires and voodoo, ghosts have the element of mystery and wonder. You can quell your curiosity by joining a tour.

It includes the public library, a fruit & veggie stand, a gazebo, restaurants and shops (not a ton), trails and, of course, the Abita Brewery & Restaurant.
