Johnnyk, agreed with yours. A few of mine:
(winner) Morning bloody marys at Lucy's. Even if you think
you don't want another, the bar maid knows the real truth.
(loser) Dinner at Lucy's. "Service" what's that? "Take
your order correctly" what's that?
(winner) National WW II museum. Great now, will be
extraordinary when completed. The "Beyond the Boundaries" documentary in the
full experience theater narrated by Tom Hanks was incredible.
(losers) The Public Works Department for the City of NOLA.
For maintaining such poor uneven sidewalks that can make walking very
dangerous.
(winner) Food at the Fest. Always a winner. New this Fest
for the Gumbo: grilled chicken livers with pepper jelly. Continued
favorites: crawfish monica and fried soft-shell crab po-boy.
(losers) All those suckers standing in line at Mother's.
Obviously first time tourists who get suckered in by the "What to do in
New Orleans" pamphlets.
(winners) Gumbo's music faves. Willie, JB, Radiators,
Baritone Bliss, Trombone Shorty, Bluerunners Reunion, RAM of Haiti
(loser) Inside room at the Ambassador. No windows, small
room, bed next to the elevator shaft, loose tiles in the bathroom, shower
wouldn't drain, old creaky wooden floor, no dresser for clothes...BUT plenty of
towels.
Good friends, good food, good memories....jg

Mr. Gumbo,
We do not appreciate your less-than-complimentary comments about our hotel. We hope you trip and fall on your face.
Oh, that's right, you already did that!
