    Absolutely STUNNING views! (Wow, did I really just say that about a bridge?). Yes, Y'all! If you EVER have the opportunity to ride this bridge, please make sure that you drive during the sunset hours so you can see how lucky you are to see beauty! The Twin Span Bridge consist of two bridges that stretches some miles while you enjoy priceless views. This new bridge was built in 2009 after the original one was damaged during Hurricane Katrina in 2005. This was one of my favorite sights during my road trip to Mississippi as the bridge is really open and you can see a lot while driving. The views are just out of this world! This bridge is one of the most well-known bridges in Louisiana. The new bridge is higher than the original one and wider so you can see the scenery more. On a beautiful day, you can see a lovely rainbow! Drive safe (Smiles)

    Built after Hurricane Katrina! What a beautiful bridge. This is my first bridge review on Yelp and it's worth to acknowledged this amazing strong state. What I love about this bridge is the view! Driving on this bridge almost feels like ur driving on water too! It's not a short bridge! Its a nice medium/long bridge. You can see houses on the bay! Such a beautiful view.. Out of the 4 days we stayed in NOLA, we only rented a car for one day. We took advantage to take a nice drive and I am so glad this bridge was part of the little vacation I took at New Orleans!

    Ahh, the Twin Spans. Living in Slidell but traveling to Nola and Metairie and even all the way down to Houma I've crossed this bridge countless times. I love crossing it at sunset. It looks like the sun is slowly sinking into and being swallowed up by Lake Pontchartrain. I love crossing it when the tide is high and watching the pelicans swooping down into the lake to catch their lunch. I love passing it and looking at all the beautiful sailboats on a beautiful sunny day. I love crossing it when the water is rough and choppy and spotting a water funnel. I've seen a few of those and it's a sight to behold. August 2005. I had evacuated to my sister's house in Lafayette. Once the images started playing on the news of the devastation that was happening I was shocked and angry. For a while nothing was being shown of Slidell...only New Orleans. It became clear why in a single image that happened to flash across the screen for a brief second. The Twin Spans. MY Twin Spans. One side of it was in pieces. Parts of it in the lake. Completely impassable. Gone. I was devastated. I cried and cried. I still tear up when I think about it. It's one of the many images of the damage Katrina did forever seared into my memory. I'm sure it sounds silly to be so sentimental about a bridge, but seeing it, a huge majestic bridge, reduced to piles of concrete, solidified in my head that things were never going to be the same when I came home. The Twin Spans have been rebuilt and they are better than ever. It's taller and wider now. The old ones where broken up and dropped into the lake to create an artificial reef. I still love passing it at sunset, high tide, sunny days and when the lake is rough. But I mourn the old ones and will forever have a special place in my heart for them.

The luxury van was very spacious and comfortable, he gave us a detailed run down of what the day included, provided bottled water throughout the entire duration, took us on a more scenic exciting drive to the plantation/swamp and he also told us a lot of information about New Orleans culture, history, wildlife, and customs. It was amazing how well he knew his hometown. We were very impressed! He really made us feel welcomed, and I hope to do another tour with his company if we're ever in the area again. Don't forget to get his input list of the best restaurants to try in the area!

He was extremely knowledgeable and told us so much history and information regarding every place that we passed during the drive. He even had a video for us to watch to learn more about the plantations while we were driving. I would highly recommend this tour!!!!!!!!

    Well after living in the south all my life I finally did a swamp tour with the kiddos and am here…read moreto report that even if you're a local you should consider a tour. It's entertaining and fun! It was raining when we arrived but they had raincoats for everyone and as soon as the threat of getting hit by a bolt of lightening passed off we went. The boats here are covered so getting beat down by the sun is not too much of an issue. Like I said it was raining when we went so the covered top protected us from getting drenched as well. We saw some gators almost immediately and that was pretty cool. They are almost tame out here and come to the boat when called to get a treat. We also enjoyed seeing lots of egrets and various other birds, a few racoons and lots of spiders and dragonflies. Our tour guide was very knowable and made a few corny jokes that the tourists and kids loved. We learned a lot about the ecosystem of the area. The tour lasted about 2 hours and was a great way to spend an afternoon. I highly recommend this tour! Tip-sit in the middle if possible. That's the best view and if you're at the very front or very back you'll get swamp water on you for sure.

    I've been going to Cutting Edge Center of the Arts for quite some time now. My first show was going…read moreto see Rent with some coworkers. This was when the theater was inside of Attraction's Salon and the experience was like no other. I had quite a long hiatus, not due to anything in particular, but by the time I returned to Cutting Edge as an audience member, the theater was a whole new place with lovely theater seating and an elevated stage as well as very professional sound and lighting. I want to say my first show back was Beauty and the Beast but that's all it took. It wasn't long before I was a season passholder. I have seen many shows at Cutting Edge from big musicals to small straight place and also many original shows that paid tribute to some of my favorite musical artists of all time. One day I got brave and auditioned for Rock of Ages that began my time on stage at Cutting Edge Theater instead of in the audience. The people I've met throughout my experiences there have all been wonderful and being a part of Cutting Edge Center of the Arts has truly made me a happier person. I am proud to now be among the board of trustees and to support this theater in as many ways as possible. There is something unique about Cutting Edge Center of the Arts. It truly is the most intimate and innovative theater I've ever been to. I believe everyone should strongly support all of their local community theaters as well as other arts in their community because without art the world would be so dull.

    Wonderful local theater! Great shows and location, plenty of parking and even some great locals…read morerestaurants right next door for grabbing dinner before the show. There's a bar with snacks as well before the show and during intermission. Brian, the owner, also does great youth shows throughout the years. Two shows coming soon include Moana and Aladdin. The theater is small and shows always sell out-- so be sure to plan ahead so that you don't miss out.
