New Orleans. What a city! I-10 glides above the bayou, a highway risen up from the murky waters. Tree lined streets sprouting mardi-gras beads. Shot-gun houses with six-foot shutters, and restaurant dining in the back of pick-up trucks. This is how New Orleans greeted me and I loved it and it loved me back with the first bite of seafood bouillabaisse from jacques imo’s. Many thanks to our host, Erin McQuade

who not only housed us in the abode of the famous artist Thomas Mann but introduced us to Michael Wong,

a man choosing to move into the margins of emipire in Central City and nourish and learn from the roots of an old and wise community.
