Thanks for the superfast answer Peter. Fond memories of trips to
conferences in N-O and riding them. The Riverwalk has changed a lot in the
meantime too. Back in the time shown, it was full of New Orleans eateries
and shops selling stuff you'd expect to get in that fun city. Today, it's
just a typical outlet mall. The usual mix of chain eateries like Subway and
stores you'd find in any outlet mall.
Cheers,
Ron
