The New Orleans French Market is getting a new face lift. Above, a section of the market is all polished up and ready to be occupied. Then Presto! below the vendors move in and life is restored. The hum and bustle of shoppers trying to find that perfect bargain is restored.The historic market has its roots in 1791, making it the oldest farmers market in the country -- though you'll find little to eat there. It's mostly just tourist souvenirs, art work and the like.
Now that work is finished on this section, the work moves to the other half of the maket.

ReplyDeleteHi Steve,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment on my blog.
This is a wonderful venue you are sharing today. The iron posts trike me as something from Georgian Britain. Very nicely cleaned up indeed.
They look like lovely cast iron pillars.
