Krewe of House Floats
Following the parade cancellation, New Orleans residents took matters into their own hands by decorating their houses to look like parade floats. On February 1, Krewe of House Floats will release a map of all of the decorated houses, so that local residents can take a socially-distant tour. If you want to take in their beauty from afar, you can still see photos of the 5,000+ house floats on the official map.

Just like every year, COVID-19 or not, the season of thanksgiving is followed by the season of giving. While there will be an even greater tendency to order holiday gifts on-line, it is especially important this year that we support our local and small businesses.
Harder hit than most may be the businesses located at the Belle View Shopping Center. Truly small, local owned businesses, these owners survived rebuilding from the 2019 fire and continue to persevere through decreased foot traffic due to the pandemic. Whether you are up for a stroll through the shops or ordering a gift card from one of the restaurants, this holiday your purchases will truly help our neighborhood businesses to keep the heart of our community beating.
