Legendary Cities : New Orleans And its French heritage
New Orleans, Louisiana: the home of Mardi Gras, and the musical and cultural hotbed of the southern United States. The city’s culture derived itself from a blend of French, Spanish, African-American, Creole and Native American roots. We explore her streets lined with French colonial-style buildings, and resonate with her vibrant atmosphere, along the promenades full of revelry and street music.
Featuring aerial footage of this city of revelry along the Mississipi, an inside look at landmarks such as the “Napoleon’s House”, the St Louis Cathedral, and more, we get a taste of Louisiana’s colorful history. Under French colonial rule it was a place where France sent their prostitutes, smugglers, counterfeiters and other petty criminals to start new lives. It became a haven and the beating heart of a vibrant, longstanding African-American community with deep roots. And even after the city’s destruction during Hurricane Katrina, the city dances on, celebrating life…

Marijuana laws in New Orleans
As laws across the nation are constantly changing regarding marijuana possession and usage, it is important for citizens to be aware of local and state laws. In 2016, the City Council approved an ordinance allowing NOPD officers to issue summons to individuals found to be in possession of marijuana (first time and subsequent offenses). This ordinance allows for the following fines : $40 for a first offense, $60 for a second, $80 for a third, and $100 for a fourth and beyond.
The law applies to anyone over the age of 17 holding less than 2.5 pounds of marijuana. Please keep in mind that the police officer will have the discretion to determine whether the pot is for personal use or if the individual intended to distribute it. This ordinance does NOT apply to individuals stopped in one of the city's drug-free zones Or individuals charged with state charges.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
New Orleans (, locally ; French: La Nouvelle-Orléans [la nuvɛlɔʁleɑ̃] (listen)) is a consolidated city-parish located along the Mississippi River in the southeastern region of the U.S. state of Louisiana. With an estimated population of 391,006 in 2018, it is the most populous city in Louisiana. A major port, New Orleans is considered an economic and commercial hub for the broader Gulf Coast region of the United States.
New Orleans is world-renowned for its distinct music, Creole cuisine, unique dialect, and its annual celebrations and festivals, most notably Mardi Gras. The historic heart of the city is the French Quarter, known for its French and Spanish Creole architecture and vibrant nightlife along Bourbon Street. The city has been described as the most unique in the United States, owing in large part to its cross-cultural and multilingual heritage. Founded in 1718 by French colonists, New Orleans was once the territorial capital of French Louisiana before being traded to the United States in the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. New Orleans in 1840 was the third-most populous city in the United States, and it was the largest city in the American South from the Antebellum era until after World War II. The city's location and flat elevation have historically made it very vulnerable to flooding. State and federal authorities have installed a complex system of levees and drainage pumps in an effort to protect the city.New Orleans was severely affected by Hurricane Katrina on August 29, 2005, which resulted in flooding more than 80% of the city, thousands of deaths, and so much displacement because of damaged communities and lost housing as to cause a population decline of over 50%. Since Katrina, major redevelopment efforts ...
Prostitution and Power: Madams of Hell’s Half-Acre, 1876 - 1920
Presented by: Jessica Webb, TCU
This month, we will meet the women who lived and worked in Hell's Half-Acre, Fort Worth's red-light district, between the 1870s and the 1920s. TCU PhD candidate Jessica Webb will discuss the madams who ran the brothels and the influence they wielded in the City of Fort Worth--politically, economically, and in their own social sphere. Webb is writing her dissertation on the red-light districts of Fort Worth and San Antonio at the turn-of-the-century. She hopes this is only the beginning of a long career researching and telling stories of the Lone Star State. Photo courtesy of Rene Gomez.
