Went to the Abandoned Six Flags New Orleans theme park yesterday.. walking around felt kind of like exploring a post-apocalyptic world (which I guess, in a sense, I was).. I would go there again at night to drink, maybe.. This place was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina and apparently the Six Flags company just up and left and never came back, so nobody’s made any moves to clean up or clear the park out since then, and it’s open to photographers/taggers/skaters/bums/what-have-you. I think it’s mostly rad, and a little bit sad. We found a Polaroid on the ground of a Six Flags worker from ‘05, in mint condition, as well as a binder full of Six Flags’ proposed new marketing strategy & partnership with Sherwin Williams. So strange to look at relics from a time long, long gone..

Sometimes I try to explain to people why New Orleans is so special. This does a pretty good job of explaining it.

"New Orleans along with San Francisco is constantly creating vibrant ideas and products to the landscape in music, food, architecture, and entrepreneurs” says Coulter. New Orleans isn’t Silicon Valley yet, but give it some time. As Mayor Mitch Landrieu likes to say, the place “gets all up in ya.” True dat."

I got this large yellow wolf shirt at Gnome (on Decatur.. I can’t really stress how much this store fucking JAMS!!!) and cut off the sleeves into my favorite silhouette of t-shirt dress. It rocks.

“By biking as slow as possible. Ride 11 meters without crossing the lane and without touching the ground. Simultaneously, the BEST Nola musicians will play the way you ride.”
