Exploring New Orleans - America's Wildest City

My brief time in New Orleans (And Louisiana in general) was horrible. Worst Drivers I have EVER encountered. And the rudest people EVER. Never going back.

Okay so honestly though. The burial plans seem WAY more eco friendly than what we have been doing in Georgia and most of the states. I also think it’s so beautiful to share a burial plot with family. ❤

Ken is the neighbor I want.

In the lower 9th ward, as an adjuster, I saw a church with a prayer stitched quilt under a frame and plexiglass where the flood water spared the quilt. Our Lord worked a miracle in protecting that quilt from flood water where it was not flood proof! Praise the Lord!!!!! He saves us and His miracles are clear

Wow I didn't know a lot of immigrants from Philadelphia and New Jersey. How interesting. 😊

❤❤❤

I did see the Rex Ball 2023 we have carnaval in the Netherlands so stayed awake

This was GREAT !!!!!!

wow what an awesome video , so much history , I liked the man who sang and told about his heritage and culture .amazed at the beautiful bead work done .. I have seed beads that I would love to donate to him , but I am sure the shipping would be outrage to send from Fl . I hope you get a chance to go back and visit..thanks for sharing .

I enjoyed this one with you and Robin Williams.

All of the south is being taken over by rude Yankees. It’s sad. They have the opposite of the Midas touch.

Too much focus on the guy plugging his shop..2 minutes would have done. He sells unique stuff we get it. The rest however was super interesting.

Lots of applause in our church Pete! Come out! Nw wa

… as Christopher subtly discloses his university allegiance with his clever choice of clothing. Roll Wave!!

Was a James Bond movie filmed in New Orleans?

mardi gras or "fat Tuesday" started in new orleans during the 18th century as a response to post slavery and french christian idealogies and was held during the easter season, hence the term fat Tuesday, or last supper before Christ crucifixion.

Who is the guy doing the tour with you?

Some of nicest folks there . Go by canal now and then .

Every American should go on a minimum 2-week road trip when they turn 18 and see as much of the country as possible. Ive only seen 26 states, but I hope to see them all some day

Sooo that’s where we get playing the tambourine from🫢🫢💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾-should have known, Damn 😳😍😍😍!!!

The Pitot House was not built in 1761. It was built in the 1790s.

This GoPro footage seems to be very pixel out for me. Is it that way for everyone else?

Crappy streets everywhere!!

Would have been nice to hear more perspectives than just the guy wearing a cardigan sweater.

We moved to Biloxi, MS from San Francisco by way of Pittsburgh. We pay $8K per year in home owners insurance because .. Katrina ..

People thought being from New Orleans was cool starting in ‘05 because of Lil Wayne, Cash Money Records, and No Limit Records succes blowing up at that time.

New Orleans is a very unique city. I visited the city before Hurricane Katrina. Never when to Mardi Gari . What I can say about the natives is that they love their city! Very rich culture, and strong entrepreneurship! There is also a class and colorist system. Hurricane Katrina showed the true minds and hearts of the city. It's a catch 22. Just my personal observation.....

Christopher did a superb job conveying the rich history of New Orleans ! Thank you for the colorful and educational video , I can’t wait to see more .

Was there once never will go back. They had hurricane katrina. Move people by me and the dumbasses thought they could come and draw satanic shit in my driveway. Hope them little alligators they brought with the didn't grow big now gonna eat that shit.

Something like the hotel California if the ghosts entities ir whatever gets you you can never leave. 😢😮

🤓 Viva Durant and the Mystery at the Masquerade Ball written by Ashli St. Armant will give a really good over view of the Parade Crews 🤓

Love my city !

I love the people here ,everybody so friendly and kimd to one another like know rach other for a ling time ❤

🙏

Your dedication to showing the real people and history past and present in all these areas well, I want to say thank you. Can’t get enough of you..

Good Convo Pete he was very informative. Funny lisening you talk about the demographics to be honest you could have been talking about the bottom end of australia and the middleclass running on the hamster wheel , The don't have time to fix the bottom end they just got keep the wheel spinning

@PeterSantenello I met Walter. We were on Vacation April 20th. Went to Bourbon Street that night and Walla. There he was in full Mardi Gras dress. So much fun.

Hello outsiders here we don’t know what Mardi Gras crews are????🤨

Ken is such a treasure.

when you say native ameican just say black people we were here before anyone

As a Louisiana native, I cringed when he said “after Katrina, it was great” 😨

Have a book by Harnett Kane he says the Indians called it floating land. There has always been a lot of violence in the city. Several hundred years ago many duels were fought using swords and pistols. And yes carpet bagging Yankee developers have ruined Florida

another great video. love your content. just to set the record straight though, mardi gras did not start in "alabama". it did in fact get incorporated in Rome, but it was a pagan celebration, in many countries all over the world, for thousands of years prior. as far back as 6th century BC. rome incorporated it because it was much easier then them trying to abolish the unruly celebration of spring and fertility. the term mardi gras once incorporated, spread from rome to other european countries, including france, germany, spain, and england. the first recorded "american mardi gras" took place on march 3. 1699 when french explorers pierre le moyne d'iberville and sieur de bienville landed near modern day new orleans. that was after another french explorer, rene'-robert cavelier, sieur de la salle) had made his way down the mississippi river from the great lakes and canada and dubbed claim to the miss river delta for france on april 9th 1682. he named it la louisiane. when french explorers pierre le moyne d'iberville and sieur de bienville landed, they threw a celebration party and named their landing spot "point du mardi gras". the old mobile site(la mobile) was settled by those same explorers and was considered capital of fort de la louisiane from 1702-1712. that site was located in le moyne alabama on the mobile river. the settlement served as capital of what was considered french louisiana from 1702-1711 when the capital was moved to present day mobile. that settlement was governed by pierre le moyne d'iberville until his death then his younger brother, jean baptiste le moyne de bienville, took over. it is often argued that mardi gras "started in mobile" because the explorers threw mardi gras parties after settled in la mobile but they had in fact landed near new orleans first, had a party(1699), then headed over to the mobile river and set up shop for king louis xiv(1701). honestly new orleans cant even take credit for "mardi gras", but they can take credit for what it has become today.

Another great informative video.

would never live in new orleans...i dont see a future there it will continue to decline

Does your arm ever get tired? LOVE your videos! Astounding history of social, political, economic, etc! I had no idea the indians helped the black people and now they pay homage!!

Denver, Co. Very Sick Beats boi!
