This sums up how we feel about our home away from home... New Orleans.

"There are few who can visit her for the first time without delight; and few who can ever leave her without regret; and none who can forget her strange charm when they have once felt its influence. And assuredly those who wander from her may never cease to behold her in their dreams - quaint, beautiful, and sunny as of old - and to feel at long intervals the return of the first charm, the first delicious fascination of the fairest city of the South." 

- Lafcadio Hearn, 1924
