 | The Camellia Grill An old fashioned diner in the Riverbend neighborhood, where the streetcars turn from St Charles Avenue onto Carrollton. It is noisy, steamy, and usually crowded. The food is old-fashioned and not terribly good for you. But everybody is friendly and it is a lot of fun. Despite the grand facade, it only seats about thirty people, all on stools at the counter.Carrollton Avenue, New Orleans, Louisiana Date photographed: November 15, 2015See location in Google Maps | |
 | Audubon Place next to Tulane University Audubon Place is a gated and guarded enclave of impressive houses next to the Tulane campus and opposite Audubon Park. The huge white house left of the gate is the official residence of the Tulane University president.St Charles Avenue, Uptown New Orleans, Louisiana Date photographed: November 13, 2015See location in Google Maps | |

 | Fountain in Audubon Park Audubon Park was the site of the World Cotton Centennial, a World's Fair, in 1884. It was subsequently developed as a park and now contains a golf course, sports facilities, and the Audubon Zoo. Almost nothing survives from previous versions of the park and its institutions.Audubon Park, Uptown New Orleans, Louisiana Date photographed: November 13, 2015See location in Google Maps | |
 | Mansions on St Charles Avenue in Uptown New Orleans An amazing series of grand houses lines St Charles Avenue in both the Uptown and Garden Districts. There are city-owned live oaks arching across the avenue from both sides, and of course the streetcar running down the "neutral ground" (median).St Charles Avenue, Uptown New Orleans, Louisiana Date photographed: November 13, 2015See location in Google Maps | |
 | St Charles Avenue mansion in Uptown Although none of the Uptown houses are truly ante-bellum (i.e from before the Civil War) most of them hew closely to the plantation house traditions of white stone and columned porches.St Charles Avenue, Uptown New Orleans, Louisiana Date photographed: November 13, 2015See location in Google Maps | |
 | St Charles Avenue streetcar Historic streetcars rumble up and down St Charles Avenue day and night, as they have for more than 150 years. The cars themselves, green with red trim, all date from the 1920's. They are two-ended, and at the Carollton terminus the driver flips all the mahogany and brass seats over and moves to the other end of the car.St Charles Avenue, Uptown New Orleans, Louisiana Date photographed: November 13, 2015See location in Google Maps | |
 | The Milton H. Latter Library Once a stately home, one of Uptown's grandest, this is now a public library. It is one of the few mansions along St Charles Avenue that you can walk right up to, and inside.St Charles Avenue, Uptown New Orleans, Louisiana Date photographed: November 15, 2015See location in Google Maps | |
 | Apartment building at 4514 Prytania On my very first day after moving to New Orleans I was fortunate enough to meet the lady who owned this fine old Uptown building. The next day I moved in and lived there happily for two years. I was pleased to find that it has survived Hurricane Katrina (most of Uptown was high enough to avoid flooding) and it has just been renovated.Prytania Avenue, near Napoleon Avenue in Uptown New Orleans, Louisiana Date photographed: November 13, 2015See location in Google Maps | |
 | Foyer at 4514 Prytania Ignoring the no trespassing signs, I opened the front door and took a panorama of this apartment building where I used to live. It looked better than ever.Prytania Avenue, near Napoleon Avenue in Uptown New Orleans, Louisiana Date photographed: November 13, 2015See location in Google Maps | |
