  • Riverfront Expressway Cancellation, Shuddering at the New Orleans That Could Have Been
    Geographies of New Orleans Fifty Years After Riverfront Expressway Cancellation, Shuddering at the New Orleans That Could Have Been Richard Campanella Geographer, Tulane School of Architecture [email protected] Published in the New Orleans Picayune-Advocate, August 12, 2019, page 1. Fifty years ago this summer, reports from Washington D.C. reached New Orleans that John Volpe, secretary of the Department of Transportation under President Richard Nixon, had cancelled the Riverfront Expressway—the high-speed, elevated interstate slated for the French Quarter. The stunning news, about a wildly controversy plan that had divided the community for years, was met with elation by the city’s growing preservationist movement, and head-shaking disappointment by local leaders in both the public and private sectors. A half-century on, the cancellation and the original proposal invite speculation —part mental exercise, part cautionary tale—about what greater New Orleans might look like today had the Riverfront Expressway gone forward. And it very nearly did: conventional wisdom at the time saw the new infrastructure as an inevitable step toward progress, following the lead of many other waterfront cities, including New York, San Francisco, and Seattle. But first, a recap on how the New Orleans plan got to Volpe’s desk. Rendering from Robert Moses' Arterial Plan for New Orleans, 1946, page 11, courtesy collection of R. Campanella The initial concept for the Riverfront Expressway emerged from a post-World War II effort among state and city leaders to modernize New Orleans’ antiquated regional transportation system. Toward that end, the state Department of Highways hired the famous—many would say infamous—New York master planner Robert Moses, who along with Andrews & Clark Consulting Engineers, released in 1946 his Arterial Plan for New Orleans.

  • 2021 Visitor Safety Statement Updated June 2021
    2021 Visitor Safety Statement Updated June 2021 Overview As one of the world’s most celebrated and iconic destinations for leisure visitors, global meetings and conventions, major cultural festivals and national sporting championships, New Orleans welcomes millions of travelers and countless corporations and organizations each year with revelry and joy. Our cultural authenticity, joie de vivre and the fact that we are organically built to host, result in an unequalled success and travel experience in New Orleans like nowhere else, with every trip and gathering producing a world class memory. New Orleans & Company and its hospitality partners flourish with great relationships with the New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) and Superintendent/Chief of Police Shaun Ferguson and his senior team. New Orleans & Company partners with and engages the top leadership of the NOPD on all elements, locations and activities of every gathering and convention so they may be available not only to meet and discuss all of a group’s priorities and requirements, but to ensure coverage around convention venues and all areas where specific events are occurring. NOPD creates a deployment plan designed specifically for the needs of that group. As the world successfully emerges from the pandemic, the safety and wellbeing of our visitors and residents is our number one priority in New Orleans. This fall, New Orleans will host many major conventions and meetings, huge cultural events including French Quarter Festival, Voodoo Festival and the world-famous New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, just to name a few, so we ask visitors to use the same personal safety precautions, and to stay vigilant, as they would at home and in any metropolitan destination.

  • A Medley of Cultures: Louisiana History at the Cabildo
    A Medley of Cultures: Louisiana History at the Cabildo Chapter 1 Introduction This book is the result of research conducted for an exhibition on Louisiana history prepared by the Louisiana State Museum and presented within the walls of the historic Spanish Cabildo, constructed in the 1790s. All the words written for the exhibition script would not fit on those walls, however, so these pages augment that text. The exhibition presents a chronological and thematic view of Louisiana history from early contact between American Indians and Europeans through the era of Reconstruction. One of the main themes is the long history of ethnic and racial diversity that shaped Louisiana. Thus, the exhibition—and this book—are heavily social and economic, rather than political, in their subject matter. They incorporate the findings of the "new" social history to examine the everyday lives of "common folk" rather than concentrate solely upon the historical markers of "great white men." In this work I chose a topical, rather than a chronological, approach to Louisiana's history. Each chapter focuses on a particular subject such as recreation and leisure, disease and death, ethnicity and race, or education. In addition, individual chapters look at three major events in Louisiana history: the Battle of New Orleans, the Civil War, and Reconstruction. Organization by topic allows the reader to peruse the entire work or look in depth only at subjects of special interest. For readers interested in learning even more about a particular topic, a list of additional readings follows each chapter. Before we journey into the social and economic past of Louisiana, let us look briefly at the state's political history.

  • La Mare a Bore at Center Left
    Geographies of New Orleans A 'Lake' in Broadmoor? Natural Paradise Once Graced Uptown's Last Open Tract Richard Campanella Contributing writer, GEOGRAPHIES OF NEW ORLEANS Published in the Times-Picayune/New Orleans Advocate, November 1, 2020, page A1 Conversations with older residents of the Broadmoor and Fontainebleau neighborhoods often prompt recollections of a “lake” in that vicinity prior to its urbanization. Indeed, a 1922 aerial photograph shows a large undeveloped tract—the last in the area—between Jefferson and Nashville avenues, going back from South Claiborne Avenue to Gert Town. Having subsided to a few feet below sea level, those open fields probably accumulated runoff after heavy rains, creating what looked like what many secondary sources describe as a “twelve-acre lake” in Broadmoor. But if we go back a century earlier, there turns out to be more to the story than a muddy field. Descriptive evidence comes from the pen of famed lawyer and narrative historian Charles Gayarré, who grew up on the plantation encompassing that low spot, and wrote of his memories in an 1886 Harper’s New Monthly Magazine article titled “A Louisiana Sugar Plantation of the Old Regime.” Gayarré was the grandson of Etienne de Boré, the man widely credited—thanks in part to Gayarré’s own dramatized recounting—with figuring out how to granulate locally grown sugarcane juice. That 1795 breakthrough led to a massive expansion of sugar cultivation in lower Louisiana, and of the institution of slavery on which it depended. De Bore’s plantation extended from the present-day 6000 to 6300 blocks of Tchoupitoulas Street straight back to what is now the intersection of Nashville Avenue and Earhart Expressway, an area that includes the aforementioned tract that was still undeveloped as of 1922.
