Shout - Villon - December 19 2014 6:01 pm EST

Now, because we weren't actually paying attention to the #Weather channel, I can't tell you what they were doing/saying, but there were frequent regional maps with #Weather patterns, as can be expected.

See the Best of New Orleans’ Architecture

New Orleans is an old city and has a lot of beautiful old buildings to see. The next time you want to spend a day with your special someone, take a tour of all these manmade masterpieces. The Ursuline Convent is one spot that should be on every architectural tour. It’s the oldest building in the entire city and a tour of its grounds can be quite enlightening. Or see a different form of history at the Cabildo. Once the seat of Spanish rule, it’s now a museum filled with interesting pieces. And don’t forget one of the city’s modern wonders, the Louisiana Superdome.
