Editor’s Note: Living in this wonderful city of New Orleans, we’re accustomed to saying “Hello” or simply waving as we pass people on the street. We’re known for our friendly attitude and hospitality. To that end, we’re stepping into the neighborhoods of the Crescent City to put you, our neighbors, friends and family, in the spotlight. It’s because of y’all that New Orleans is special. Join us as we highlight some of the people in the neighborhoods. If you see us out and about, we hope you’ll give us a wave or a high-five.
