Let’s light the way with neon signs!
Bourbon Street really looks better at night.
Enough neon for you? I captured Bourbon Street, leaving out the parts which may be offensive to many. It is not for the faint of heart. Most of the bars have bands that are really, really good, and cover all types of music from country to 80′s to disco to blues and jazz all day long. It’s fun to pop into one when you hear a song you love, the melody spilling out from inside, dance for one song, then pop back out! That’s easy to do there.
Boogie on, Margie
You’ve captured the atmosphere well in these photos, Margie! Bravo!
Thank you, Thank you!
Lots of lights, lots of variety, and looks like lots of fun to be had! Thanks for sharing!
Always a city that has something for everyone!
Great pictures Margie! Wow, I know NO is rowdy but “not for the faint of heart” and “hedonistic” and you had to censor. CH and I may be too old for that now. I like my quiet.
I guess I have become boring! I still love the idea of zydeco and muffalettas though 
Thanks Pix. You know, NOLA has so much more to offer than Bourbon Street, and Bourbon Street is an very unique place. However, Bourbon Street, and I am being totally honest, is not for everyone, especially at night. It is always packed to the gills, so believe me, lots of people love it!!! I just wouldn’t want to make it something it is not, have someone go, and be taken aback by some of the establishments that make up this very famous street. Oh how I love Zyedco, muffalettas and beignets, oh my!!
Interesting photos that shows a culture of its own …thanks!
Absolutely and a good way to put it Dilip!
Nice photos, looks like a lively place. I can imagine the sound of Squirrel Nut Zippers
Here’s a tip for you:

Thanks Cardinal!
New Orleans jazz is the best! You are so right Frizz!
a fantastic atmosphere there!
There is nothing quite like Bourbon Street in my mind Frizz. You would love it!
WOW! These are amazing and great fun… Wonderful photographs you captured. Thank you dear Margie, have a nice day, with my love, nia
Thanks Nia!
Awesome photos. You are truly a wonderful photographer. Certainly is a festive and busy place. You’re going to have to come home to rest up from your vacation.
Thanks E.C.! It is VERY festive and busy. I’ve been home for a couple of weeks now, so I’m rested up.
Being here in Miami I am addicted to and appreciation the neons which you captured well. But still I always felt the alleged glitz of Bourbon Street was pretty small townish, a mimiature Disneyland for people that like to drink and party.
It is filled with neon, but not the least bit glitzy. It’s not even small townish Carl, but quite seedy and is definitely a hedonistic place for adults to party if it is your cup of tea. Fortunately, there is a lot more to New Orleans than Bourbon Street, otherwise, we would never have gone back.
What a time we would have!! Fantastic shots Margie!! Boogie on!!
I managed to duck in and dance to a few, LOL!
sounds like fun!
Boogie on yourself, Margie. Nice Share. I think I like the ‘Jazz Funeral’ sign the best. Does that make me morbid?
Nope. It is just fun, unusual and fits right in with the NOLA vibe.
cool photos, margie. take care of yourself. enjoy and be safe.
Thanks Noreen. Been back for a bit. Not there now. But I’ll still be safe!!
I love all the neon signs, Margie. I really like the little figures on the funeral sign.
Lots of those there. Thanks Pat!
I loved the pictures. I have never been there. I would love to go there. My heart is not all that faint.
Haha, have at it then!! Thank you for joining me!
the only thing i thought was odd was pizza by the slice at the cajun cabin?
sort of appreciate the censorship – don’t know if i have enough energy for that this aft. ha!
It’s a real mish mash, LOL!
brings back memories of long ago … love the signs …i can hear the music just looking at them! thanks margie xx
My pleasure Christine!
I love the song ‘Moon Over Bourbon Street’ by Sting & these have now put more pictures in my head! Thank you! Fabulous!
Oh man, I don’t think I’ve ever heard that one!! I will have to find it and listen. Glad you enjoyed it!
