Many wonderful areas have been completely restored since Hurricane Katrina and you won't want to miss these spots when you plan your trip to New Orleans.

New Orleans Museum of Art: With over 40, 000 works of some of the world's most revered master artists, art lovers may be tempted to spend an entire day strolling through the halls of this historic museum.
Natchez Steamboat: What a fun and relaxing way to see the city as this authentically-restored steamboat takes you back to the days of riverboat gamblers and Mark Twain. Children under the age of 6 are free when they ride with their parents, so bring along the whole family. Choose a two-hour harbor cruise and be sure to try some of the onboard restaurants that feature nightly live music.
Musee Conti Wax Museum: This is an entertaining and educational wax museum that features re-creations of the Battle of New Orleans, the chills of the Haunted Dungeon, Masters of the Macabre exhibit and the realistic figures of Edgar Allen Poe and Victor Hugo. The figures so real looking you'll do a double take on the amazing details, right down to the stubble on their chins!
The Cabildo: The site of the Louisiana Purchase Transfer and the ceremonies that took place in 1803, the Cabildo is one of Louisiana's most important historical sites. Learn about the Battle of New Orleans, Louisiana's role in the Civil War and the struggles of the Reconstruction.

Children will delight in trying on authentic costumes as they learn about the behind-the-scenes history of Mardi Gras.

Colorful fish and other aquatic life will fascinate and delight young and old alike.
Saint Louis Cemetery Number One: Unique and gothic, this ancient cemetery features the elaborate above-ground tombs commonly used in New Orleans, likely due to the ground water seepage problems of a city built below sea level.

Where could the New Orleans Hornets move to?
Living in the Tampa area, I'm hopeful that they would move here, but would there be any other cities that the NBA would want them to go and are realistic. Seattle easily comes to mind first.

Basketball: Why won't the owners compromise on system issues?
The owners say it is because they want a competitive balance, and they don't want the big money teams to have a competitive advantage. But does this make any sense when you look at what happens on the court?
The Memphis Grizzlies were just 1 win from the Conference Finals, while they were missing one of their best players.
The Oklahoma City Thunder have one of the best teams in the league.
The Sacramento Kings made the playoffs 7 times in the 2000s.
The San Antonio Spurs have 4 championships in the past 13 years.
The Denver Nuggets have made the playoffs 8 straight years.
The Utah Jazz have made the playoffs 24 out of the last 28 years.
The Portland Trailblazers have made the playoffs 29 out of the last 35 years.
The New Orleans Hornets have made the playoffs 8 out of the last 12 years.
Seems like plenty of small market teams are finding success. And what about big market teams with loads of cash?
The New York Knicks (one of the top 2 financially successful teams in the league) haven't won a playoff series in 12 years.
The Philadelphia 76ers haven't won a playoff series in 9 years.
The Boston Celtics have missed the playoffs 8 of the past 16 years.
The Washington Wizards have only made the playoffs 5 times in the last 23 years.
The Golden State Warriors have made the playoffs once in the past 17 years.
Seems like the owners are just making up lies to get what they want. "We want competitive balance for small market teams".. Orlando, New Orleans, Portland, Oklahoma City, Indiana, Denver, and Memphis all made the playoffs last year. Those are 7 of the 13 smallest markets in the league.
FYH, you need to crawl back up your mother and cook a little longer. Do I actually believe what I'm saying? Do I actually believe that the Knicks haven't won a playoff series in 12 years? Do I actually believe the Trailblazers have made the playoffs in 29 of the last 35 years (including a Finals win). Yes, I believe those things, because what I posted were FACTS, not opinions.
And small market teams don't have a legitimate chance to win the Finals? The Thunder aren't going into next season as title contenders? Orlando didn't make the Finals 3 years ago? Detroit didn't win the Finals a few years ago, then come within 1 game of repeating? A middle-market, low profile Dallas team aren't the current NBA champions? Again, I'm just pointing out FACTS, not opinion.
You just like nut-punching Lakers because you are angry or jealous or something. Had I been a Spurs fan, you would have agreed with me. Lakers are better than your team, get over it.
Also, do you really thing the Lake
Orlando isn't a small market? It is the 26th largest metro area in the country, and there are 20 NBA teams that play in a larger market. It's actually a smaller metro area than San Antonio, which you yourself called a small-market team. So there, again proven wrong with FACTS (something your argument has zero of).
And just to throw some more FACTS (which are statements that are proven true, since it seems you don't know how to separate facts from opinion, since my first post gave no opinions and all facts).. Memphis had a higher payroll last year than the New York Knicks and Chicago Bulls. So Memphis can't compete on the same level as the big market teams? What about Orlando (which I proved earlier is a small market team by your standards), which had the 2nd highest payroll in the league last year?
Small market teams can compete. The Lakers win not because they have a high payroll, but because players like to play in front of celebrities, players like to live in a city with pe
perfect weather year round, and players like to play for the league's most storied franchise. The Lakers would win with a hard cap too.

Where will Jason Richardson sign next season?
Orlando Magic, Chicago Bulls, New Orleans Hornets, Los Angeles Lakers, Miami Heat? or some other non-contending teams where he can get a big offer like the Sacramento Kings, Cleveland Cavaliers, Milwaukee Bucks, etc?
@Beast: No Orlando Magic. He said he wants to re-sign there but again that's words from the mouth.
