Grateful to have the opportunity to stop by the Congo Square which is now Louis Armstrong Park…read more This was considered to be sacred ground where Houmas Indians used before the arrival of the French for celebrating their annual corn harvest. The gathering of enslaved African vendors in Congo Square originated as early as the late 1740's during Louisiana's French colonial perlod and continued during the Spanish colonial era as one of the city's public markets. By 1803. Congo Square had become famous for the gatherings of enslaved Africans who drummed, danced, sang and traded on Sunday afternoons. By 1819. these gatherings numbered nearly 600 people. Among the most famous dances were the Bamboula, the Calinda and the Congo.These African cultural expressions gradually developed into Mardi Gras Indian traditions, The Second line and eventually New Orleans jazz and rhythm and blues. To this day family still celebrate at Louis Armstrong. Park on Sunday is a day to dance, play music, pay homage, celebrate and enjoy one another.

Understanding the history of this park is key to understanding the energy present. I highly…read morerecommend walking around, looking at the artwork in Armstrong Park, and sitting on one of the benches in Congo Square to reflect on what the incredible trees in this park have seen over the past few hundred years. It's awe inspiring, humbling, and an essential visit when trying to understand and pay homage to the black history of New Orleans.

I love the idea of Saints. No, not the New Orleans sports balls team, the Catholic religious type…read moreof Saints. The theory, the idea that you can focus on a specific thing to help cure what ails you, or to blame if it all goes poorly. To focus all of the energy on something outside of yourself, and your own autonomy, out of the control of any actual human being. He is often pictured holding an image of Jesus at his heart, and a flame above his head. He was one of the original apostles and is the patron saint of hope and lost causes. St Jude is often invoked to help children with cancer, and there is a huge organization dedicated to it. I like the idea of them helping children, that is a very worthy cause. This shrine is next to the oldest church building in New Orleans, which also held the funeral services for those who passed from Yellow Fever in the late 1800s. It is a lovely shrine to have some reflection upon yourself and life in general. In my recent visit, I was approached twice by different people asking for money, which is kind of ironic. This is next to a Catholic Church who claims to help all people, and a shrine for lost causes. Anyways. This is a lovely spot for a moment of rest and reflection mere steps from the French Quarter.

My staple church for my entire life so far and my ancestors. St. Jude Thaddeus, Guadalupe of Mary,…read moreBlessed Virgin Mary, the community, the staff are all wonderful, blessed. A peaceful beautiful divine home to be ONE with the Creator.

Malcolm Woldenberg Statue - were his feet really this small?

This sculpture depicts Malcom Woldenberg, the namesake of Woldenberg, and a young child that…read morehappens to be his grandson. The statue was made by William Ludwig and dedicated in 1990. The sculptures are bronze and the bench that they are sitting on is granite. The granite bench has a bronze plaque on it, which reads "Woldenberg River Front Park, is dedicated to the memory of Malcom Woldenberg who prospered in New Orleans and left a legacy of caring and of confidence in the city on New Orleans". The plaque is pretty worn and is hard to read. Hopefully it will be replaced soon. The sculpture is located right off of the River, between the walkway the runs along the river and the park's green space. The park was named after Woldenberg, after the foundation bearing his and his wife's name, the Dorothy & Malcolm Woldenberg Foundation, donated $5 million to the park's development. The sculpture is life-like and can easily be mistaken for people sitting on the bench at night or during low light situations. There is commercial parking lots in a reasonable walking distance of the sculpture and there are lots of attractions in eh vicinity. So, you should consider making a stop here part of a larger itinerary and pair it with a visit to the Cathedral, Jackson Square, the Audubon Aquarium of the Americas and Spanish Plaza. You can start the itinerary with Woldenberg Riverfront Park, where the sculpture is located and is the centerpiece.
