In New Orleans, people know how to fancy-up for a public event. They know how to embrace visitors, as well. Buildings in New Orleans do these things, too. The front stoop of a shotgun house does. Its gingerbread ornament shapes and celebrates the place where the resident chats with passers-by.
So do the wrought iron galleries of the Quarter. In both cases, resources are spent where they matter: where they bring people together.
