Why didn't I think of that?
From the real estate section of yesterday's paper:
I can't believe I rode my bike straight home from work last Tuesday without taking a left at either Orleans or Dumaine. It would have been so easy to cap a historic day by crossing either bridge to take a detour down Taft, Roosevelt, Harding or Wilson. Instead, I thoughtlessly continued from Jeff Davis to Moss to Bell. Oh well, it shouldn't be long until Obama's first "State of the Union" address.
I don't quite understand the paper's description of the neighborhood's location:
N. Rocheblave is on my side of Bayou St.John, the "president" streets are all on the other side.
I have just watched Barack Obama take the oath of office and I am uplifted by our nation's peaceful transition of power. It gets me thinking about presidents past: What better way to celebrate them, I decide, than a Street Walk on one of the "president" streets near Bayou St. John? I land on Wilson Drive, named for the 28th president of the United States, Woodrow Wilson.

I don't quite understand the paper's description of the neighborhood's location:
Parkview, a historic district added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1995. The district includes a narrow sliver that stretches from North Rocheblave Street on the east to Bayou St. John on the west, and between Esplanade Ridge on the north and Mid-City on the south. The distinct character of this section of Parkview derives from the consistency and quality of its early 20th-century architecture and the glittering bayou that borders it.

Seriously. What better way to celebrate the inauguration of the nation's first African American President than a nice stroll down Woodrow Wilson Drive.
