North Boulevard Town Square
Park
👍👍 During the evening, it was clear from any crowd. Kids were playing, parents and friends were laughing and having a good time enjoying each other's company.
First time in Louisiana and tonight left no sour notes. Had a few drinks and continued to walk along side the Mississippi River.
