“Way down yonder in New Orleans In the land of dreamy scenes There’s a garden of Eden You know what I mean.” - Louis Armstrong

I have loved New Orleans since the moment I laid eyes on it which is part of the charm being a true New Orleanian!!

My parents were born and raised here as well and I was fortunate to have been offered to buy the family home my Dad grew up in so this little shotgun has a special piece of my heart.

I attended Loyola University just a few blocks away and worked in the hospitality industry as a wedding & event planner for 15 years. I know all the secrets our city has to offer and would love to share them with you.

Anyone who has been to New Orleans knows that it is a unique, remarkable, one-of-a-kind city. Carrollton is a part of New Orleans that is uptown from the French Quarter. It is on higher ground than the area of New Orleans that was damaged in the Katrina hurricane, so Carrollton went undamaged. Carrollton is at the end of the St. Charles streetcar line and the other end is Canal Street. Carrollton is home to Tulane University and Loyola University. Many University employees reside in Carrollton including professors, teachers and students. They patronize the many businesses and restaurants that are nearby because this is a mixed residential/commercial neighborhood. Carrollton's location is a 20 minute drive to the French Quarter. Carrollton has many interesting restaurants, shops and music venues, the French Quarter is generally a more touristy area. Carrollton was incorporated in 1833 and still has much of the same Victorian residential architecture. Some of the historical sites in Carrollton are Old Carrollton City Hall and Palmer Park, which has a craft fair on the last Saturday of the month. This event is called the Arts Market of New Orleans and features live music also. Residents and tourists find this event to be great fun. You can check out some of the area's attractions at:
