Falling in love with a city is an odd thing. But it happens. I fell in love with New Orleans, especially the Vieux Carré. They say once you live there, you cannot leave. If you leave, you will come back. Love, longing, despair, and anguish. Falling in love. An abundance. Falling in love with a city. Is this even possible? If so, what would that look like? This book is about falling in love with New Orleans. Socrates says if you want to be educated go to the city. Morris suggests if you want to be educated, go to New Orleans.
