I was in Louisiana last week on business. My last night there featured dinner in New Orleans and parking in a very, very tight garage. When we got our vehicle parked we were stopped by a couple guys trying to help some girl with her car. She had managed to swing into a spot so that she crushed her rear passenger side door against a pillar...and got stuck. Four of us lifted the car up and shifted it about 6 feet to the left so she could pull forward into the spot.

“Thank you so much, guys, I really appreciate it.”

Then she walked away.

I was in disbelief because although her car wasn’t in perfect condition but this move absolutely screwed up the side of the car...and she didn’t even go to look at it.

Truth be told, I’m not surprised. She wasn’t exactly with it and we were right by Bourbon Street.

Brownie points to the garage for using tapered columns.

Have you seen any good bad parking jobs lately?

This is kind of what many Camrys are looking like at that age. Too reliable to offload, too aloof to car about a dent.

Hot and humid. 90s during the day and high 80s at night.

Stayed outside N.O. cuz we had 4 hour drives to Mississippi and then two hour drive to the end of the Louisiana delta. THAT was freaky.

At one point the guy that was hosting us (we were visiting a processing plant) said, “About a mile ahead is a levee with 15 foot tall metal doors we will be driving through. In the case of flooding, those doors swing shut and block off the lower portion of the state.”

Then we were at a section that was maybe a quarter mile wide...Mississippi River to our left and the gulf to our right. Levees between each with the only thing we could see on the other sides the bridges of oil tankers floating by. Watching those move along was surreal because they seemed liked those souvenir pens you tilt to make things move: the sky was the background, grass covered levee the foreground and then bright orange structure just moving along.

The area was completely wiped out 10 years ago so new structures were either trailers, non-permanent structures or built on 27’ high stilts (per new coding for the area). If flooding does occur, it is estimated that the area would be 15-27’ underwater (according to our host). The hospital was build on pylons with a parking garage on the second level and everything else above it so if there was flooding then the first floor reception area would be the only thing lost.

I was able to walk along Bourbon Street after dinner on our last night there. Seems interesting but not my scene. Did end up in a voodoo shop to get my gf a little gift (she loves American Horror Story and one season was based in N.O.).
