Day 15: National Cheeseburger Day

Today, the weather was outstanding--sunny, touch of breeze, only mildly humid. I went on a quick 9 mile bike ride through Downtown and the French Quarter. Biking in here is so much different than in New York. For one, there are cobblestone and broken streets every where. But two, it's mostly one way streets with significantly less cars. 

This city feels empty most of the time. Even living out in a slightly sheltered neighborhood in Queens, there was always someone on the street. Late at night, there were apartments with their lights still on. Here most of the streets are desolate most of the time. 

The 9 miles was a deal I made with myself to earn a cheeseburger at Port of Call in honor of National Cheeseburger Day.

Round 2

On the way back, I blew by the site of the Hubig Pies site. Please note the color of the equipment. Her work is seen all over the neighborhood--now that is Nontraditional Employment for Women.
