Lovely example of an 1800′s porte-cochere Creole townhouse all lit up for Mardi Gras. The double doors in the center may have been for carriages in the 19th century.

You make life FUN! We are so dull up here in our gray skies and somber mood.
Glad you’re enjoying, Ruth! I’m going to take Flat Ruthie out for the weekend!
Awesome!
Yay!
I love the French Quarter!
Me too! I’ve recently been traveling down there more often and really enjoying the scene.
Must be an amazing place to live!
It’s pretty lovely!
Wish I were there.
