  • NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions by Ned Hémard
    NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions By Ned Hémard Shall We Dance Dancing has been an essential part of New Orleans’ psyche almost since its very beginning. Pierre François de Rigaud, Marquis de Vaudreuil-Cavagnal replaced Bienville, the city’s founder, as Governor of Louisiana. He set the standards high with his polished manners, frequently sponsoring balls, dinners, and other elegant social soirées. Serving from 1743 to 1753, he even provided the colony with a Parisian dancing master named Baby. Below are numerous quotes through the ages about the Crescent City’s special love affair with dancing: There were balls, with court dress de rigueur, where gaily uniformed officers danced with bejeweled women. This was the beginning of fashionable life in the colony. - LYLE SAXON, writing of “de Vaudreuil’s régime” in Old Louisiana The eccentricities of Baby's mind, as well as those of his physical organization had made him famous in the colony, and the doleful mien with which he used to give his lessons, had gained him the appellation of the Don Quixote of dancing. -Louisiana Historian CHARLES GAYARRÉ on Baby, the Dancing Master The female Creoles being in general without education, can possess no taste for reading music or drawing, but they are passionately fond of dancing … passing whole nights in succession in this exercise. - PIERRE-LOUIS BERQUIN-DUVALLON, Travels in Louisiana and the Floridas in the Year 1802, Giving the Correct Picture of Those Countries It’s the land where they dance more than any other. - LOUIS-NARCISSE BAUDRY DES LOZIÈRES, Second Voyage à la Louisiane, 1803 Upon my arrival at New Orleans, I found the people very Solicitous to maintain their Public Ball establishment, and to convince them that the American Government felt no disposition to break in upon their amusements … - GOVERNOR W.

    Biddy Girls Basketball Tournament Westwego, Louisiana EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The primary purpose of the study was to determine the economic significance of the Biddy Girls Basketball Tournament that was held on March 30-April 5, 2000 at The Alario Center in Westwego. The Year 2000 Biddy Basketball Tournament was comprised of 38 basketball teams, consisting of approximately 12 girls on each team. Approximately 17 teams were local; others were from Kansas, Dallas, Houston, or some as far as Puerto Rico and Finland.

In addition, coaches were also surveyed regarding team expenses. Hotels in the area provided information on the hotel room nights generated by the tournament. Results show a positive economic impact for Westwego and the surrounding communities generated by visitor spending on hotel rooms, admission tickets, concessions, meals, laundry, shopping, and entertainment. RESULTS Economic Significance l Total direct visitor expenditures was $279,920. l The average hotel room rate was $67.40. l The average amount paid per day for admission tickets was $15.00. l The average amount paid per day for concessions was $15.10. l The average amount paid for meals per day (outside of The Alario Center) was $39.94. l The average amount paid for local transportation was $14.10 per day. l The average amount paid for laundry each day was $.92. l The average per day spent on entertainment/recreation was $10.72. l The average per day spent on shopping was $41.08.
